Member FieryReign Posted December 4, 2015 Member Share Posted December 4, 2015 Chiang Tao just failed to impress me. Dude must've got roles due to his spectacular teeth.... He was so average as a villain. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted December 4, 2015 Member Share Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) I love Chiang Tao as a villain in Tiger Over Wall, Return to the 36th Chamber, Battle Wizard and many others. My favorite performance is Kung Fu Zombie where he plays Billy Chong's dad. He doesn't make a great main villain. You rarely see him in that role. What about the villain in Struggle Through Death? He was terrible. I've never even bothered to look up his name. Edited December 4, 2015 by Morgoth Bauglir 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member FieryReign Posted December 4, 2015 Author Member Share Posted December 4, 2015 I don't even remember Struggle Through Death. I had to look it up. It's funny that I actually owned it at one point. Just seeing the cover art rang a small bell. Crash Cinema/Venom Mob? Heroes Two is another one. Out of all the guys in the Shaw stable, they picked that guy? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Lady Jin Szu-Yi Posted December 5, 2015 Member Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) I still do not like Anthony Lau's Eunuch in Secret Service of the Imperial Court. That's a compliment. I think that character is annoyingly awful, but I have a feeling that's the way Lau intended the character to be.

Member KenHashibe Posted December 5, 2015 Member Share Posted December 5, 2015 Hiroshi Suzuki from Fist of Fury wasn't a very good villain. He does have a "bad guy-look," but he can't fight and he doesn't make any ideas himself. He barely does anything, but I still love Fist of Fury. Such an amazing movie anyway. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Jesse Smooth Posted December 6, 2015 Member Share Posted December 6, 2015 Chiang Tao always made a great henchman, someone to beat before getting to the big boss. Its not so much about being a skilled fighter, in his case, its the attitude. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DragonClaws Posted December 6, 2015 Member Share Posted December 6, 2015 Martin Chui Man-Fooi was a pretty bad main villain in Last Fist Of Fury. His clueless lackeys looked like they could have taken him out easily. Some of the most inept screen villains Ive watched onscreen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member DragonClaws Posted December 6, 2015 Member Share Posted December 6, 2015 Russell Wong was woefully inadequate as Jet Li's final fighting opponent in ROMEO MUST DIE.According to IMDB he trains in Fu Jai Pw Kung Fu, Tai Kwan Do, and Shoji Ryu Karate. I don't remember him doing anything impressive in Romeo Must Die?. I thought Bong Soo Han was a pretty lame villain in Force Five. He didn't look like a challenge for Joe Lewis at all.

Member Grasshopper Sage Posted December 6, 2015 Member Share Posted December 6, 2015 Just to be clear, we are talking about villains that sucked as in bad right? cause sometimes I enjoy a crappy villain. Someone who tries so hard to be evil but everything they do is just about laughable. I do enjoy my heroes, but I enjoy my villains just as much, if not more. Especially when they're silly. Just a thought but that may be why Batman's villains are so loved, they don't take they're crimes, let alone anything seriously. If anyone can recommend any martial arts films with purposefully BAD (as in BAD) villains it'd be much appreciated.I think the same thing applies when it comes to my love of spy media. Things like Archer & the Man from Uncle. Spies who, find themselves in precarious & dangerous situations but make light of the matter, find enjoyment in life & make things humorous. So I guess the same applies to heroes as well. If anyone knows of anyone kung fu films (especially the classics) where either the hero or villain don't take themselves or life (& the situations they find themselves in seriously) let me know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was filmed in Harlem and was basically an awards show for martial artists with sneak preview trailers for RUSH HOUR and BLADE. Bong Soo Han showed, already in his 60s, and did 50 push-ups in a minute. I think any deficiency in his onscreen fighting was the choreographer's fault. About Russell, his most impressive moves were wire assissted, and even then he looked slow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fight choreography certainly didn't help things. Shih Kien in Enter The Dragon did not display much in the way of great Martial Arts skills but he looked the part.

Member Drunken Monk Posted December 7, 2015 Member Share Posted December 7, 2015 While he didn't suck, per se, Hwang Jang Lee was a pretty lousy villain in "Ninja in the Dragon's Den". He appears out of nowhere, has a great fight but that's it. There's really nothing to him I also didn't enjoy Gordon Liu's villainous stint in "Tiger on the Beat". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fighting while was good nothing spectacular, earlier in flick was better scenes and those silly jokes did not do it for me. That`s not HWL to blame tho... Waiting for korean version to arrive mailbox any day.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such an amazing movie anyway.It's not much of a surprise because Riki Hashimoto, the actor who played Suzuki, was a former baseball player. His other big role would be that of Daimajin in the old series of films. He spent most of the the time using the sword then got what only a 10-second take of hand strikes only to be blocked by Bruce before the kick to the throat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member weier78 Posted December 12, 2015 Member Share Posted December 12, 2015 The warden from " the story of Ricky", I know the movie is from manga, but surely they could have choosen a better actor, and a better death scene to finish the movie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member DarthKato Posted June 5, 2021 Member Share Posted June 5, 2021 I'm a big fan of Donnie Yen, but he kind of sucked as the villain in Shanghai Knights. He wasn't a very interesting villain and his fight with Jackie at the end was boring and anticlimactic. {Spoilers} I mean seriously, getting shot with a Firework was the best they could come up with? And it wasn't even Jackie that did it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
