Member Chu Liu Hsiang Posted May 1, 2020 Member Share Posted May 1, 2020 Funny how he looks a bit like Chen Hung Lieh on this one! Apart from this pic, I never noticed any similarity between them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though David Chiang doesn't look like a predator here... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonny Posted June 13, 2020 Member Share Posted June 13, 2020 (edited) Does anybody know if David Chiang studied martial arts? I know he was a stuntman & good with the wire, in Shaw brothers movies.. also good with a sword.. but did he actually belong to a school does anybody know? Or was he just trained up for the Shaw brothers movies? He’s probably my favourite Shaw brothers actor.. but he would be way down my list on his Kung fu (on screen) either way, what a superb actor!

Member teako170 Posted June 14, 2020 Member Share Posted June 14, 2020 (edited) Whether he belonged to any school or not, David Chiang was certainly involved in the arts. He mentioned in one interview that Bruce Lee was a close friend. You can see David training in the Fists of Fire documentary (start @ 2:53).

Member Iron_Leopard Posted June 14, 2020 Member Share Posted June 14, 2020 I agree his on screen fight scenes are nothing to write home about but his screen presence was through the roof. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member ShawAngela Posted June 14, 2020 Member Share Posted June 14, 2020 In the bonuses of one of my Wildside dvds, he said that he was the fighting instructor for a movie, but I don' t remember which one. For me, one can't be a fighting instructor without having a martial arts background, and if you watch him in his TV series, you'll see that he is as powerful as in The challenger or The loot. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member sym8 Posted June 14, 2020 Member Share Posted June 14, 2020 I think his on screen martial arts while at times good(the loot,the challenger,Shaolin mantis)other times were not so great,but I think one of his nicknames was Mr Kung fu so maybe he has had some formal training but not really sure.As some people have said he does have a screen presence though and I do like a lot of his stuff. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member rdenn Posted June 14, 2020 Member Share Posted June 14, 2020 for some reason david fights better in tv series, but in the loot the challenger and shaolin mantis he was great but he is one of the best actors of the genre 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member morpheus Posted June 14, 2020 Member Share Posted June 14, 2020 David Chiang can act. By looking at his films, I can see he did have good training -its just that he is not quite the athlete of other gifted martial artists. In some way, perhaps that has helped him vary and extend his career. Otherwise, actors become typecast and may eventually have a shorter stay in the film industry as the genre changes. Ti Lung has had a transition from martial arts to a gangster in John Woo's films -revitalizing his career. He also played an Eliot Ness type character in First Shot and an aging grandfather in The Kid from The Big Apple films. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShawAngela Posted August 16, 2020 Member Share Posted August 16, 2020 Answering to the question regarding david Chiang's belonging to a martial arts school...I'm a little bit late... Maybe David Chiang was Liu Chia Liangs' student as were Lily Li, Fu Sheng, Adam Cheng an others, I don't remember if this has ever been mentioned in the past, but it's a fact that a lot of the Shaws' actors (or, before Liu Chia Liang becomes part of the Shaws' empire, the Cantonese movies actors) were Liu Chia Liang's students and trained hard. It's also mentioned in one clip that I was asked to translate from French a while ago on this forum, that Shaws' actors/actresses had to train in martial arts for at least one year before shooting in movies, or something like that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
