Member Daxtreme Posted June 8, 2018 Member Share Posted June 8, 2018 (edited) Hey guys, Know of any movies where Ken Lo actually gets a decent fighting part? Obviously apart from Drunken Master 2 which I've seen a few times already! He also stars in Supercop but doesn't do much except fire a rocket launcher, which is kinda cool. Thanks! edit: this guy: Edited June 8, 2018 by Daxtreme 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off the top of my head The Black Sheep Affair, the bruta but brief prison scuffle is a good one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he has a henchman role. At best he throws out a kick randomly and then gets tossed aside. So, sadly, I can't tell just from looking at his HKMDB page! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Drunken Monk Posted June 8, 2018 Member Share Posted June 8, 2018 Drunken Master 2 was such a weird landmark for Ken Lo. It confirmed that he's a veritable boot-master and yet no one utilized him before then and no one has really utilized him after. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator One Armed Boxer Posted June 8, 2018 Moderator Share Posted June 8, 2018 He has a fighting role in the 2002 Japanese movie 'Muscle Heat' (if I remember correctly it was retitled to 'Blood Heat' for its U.S. release).

Member DrNgor Posted June 9, 2018 Member Share Posted June 9, 2018 His fight with Vincent Zhao at the end MAHJONG DRAGON is one of favorites. He shows off some nice bootwork in CIRCUS KIDS. He has two decent fights against Donnie in CHEETAH ON FIRE that obscured by bad lighting. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading an article where Wu ma and various others on the set of Circus kids asked him to do more boot work reminiscent of the stuff he did on Drunken master 2 but he refused out of respect to Jackie Chan saying he didn’t want to copy what had already been done. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member J.J. Hayden Posted December 8, 2022 Member Share Posted December 8, 2022 (edited) Ken Lo Wai-kwong 盧惠光 Lo Wai-kwong (aka Ken Lo) was born on the 17th of March 1957 in Vientiane, Laos (though some accounts say Srung Treng, Cambodia). His father was from Hong Kong and his mother was from Laos. When he was 15 years old, he moved to Udon Thani, Thailand in 1975 due to the Cambodian civil war. He was a huge fan of Bruce Lee and was inspired to take up martial arts such as Muay Thai and Taekwondo. He won the freestyle fighting championship seven times. Five years after the move to Udon Thani, he departed for Hong Kong in 1980 and worked as a tour guide. After being in Hong Kong for a few years he made his first onscreen appearance in 1985's Working Class (1985), where he played a kick-boxer. But 1986 was the most pivotal year in is career, as it was then, while working as head of security at a disco that he would meet Jackie Chan. Jackie brought him on as an "official member of the Jackie Chan Stunt Team" and as one of his own personal bodyguards, a role he would continue for another 25 years. Ken proved to be an invaluable member of the team and appeared in many of Jackie's own movies in fighting roles. But he also branched out, working for many different directors and stunt coordinators, staring in many films as a leading cast member and working on over 140 films altogether. One of his most famous roles was as "John", the main fighting villain in 1994's The Legend of Drunken Master (1994). After one of the other actor's sustained an injury, Ken was put forward to take over, showing of his superb kicking skills, including his famous 180 standing split. The final fight scene of Drunken Master II is widely considered one of the greatest of all time.
