Member Chu Liu Hsiang Posted August 4, 2021 Member Share Posted August 4, 2021 As it was supposed to be a satire, I assume this is NOT a typo The New Spartans (1975) Jimmy Wang Yu: Material arts movie star Wang Fu (from imdb) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member AlexanderFu Posted May 6, 2022 Member Share Posted May 6, 2022 Lo Lieh is right at the top of the list, He is an all time favorite o mine, top 2 no doubt. Does anyone happen to have the interview he did speaking English when he was much older? I'd love to see that again. Thanks! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish it was an hour or 3 longer but it is great to see, and his English speaking was a welcome surprise when I 1st saw it. Sad though, his arms are so skinny, he looked.....I think he worked himself to death. 18 movies in 76? more the next year. He is definitely the kind of person you wish you could have met at least once. One of the best actors ever imo. He put everything into his performances, especially conveying emotions - god or bad, with his eyes. Lo Lieh nd Alexander Fu Sheng are my 2 favorite. They both had a personality to do their work well. Whatever you did to find it, fantastic! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Chu Liu Hsiang Posted May 8, 2022 Member Share Posted May 8, 2022 Lo Lieh was really amazing. I can never decide if I like him better in his early heroic or later villanous roles, he definitely could act both. And like David Chiang, always cooool. He seems incredibly likeable, I had not seen an interview with him before. I wondered about the collaboration with Tsui Hark and then realized it must be DANGEROUS ENCOUNTER which I never watched bc of the notorious animal abuse scenes. Although short, his appearances as Han Tang are among my favorites. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted May 8, 2022 Member Share Posted May 8, 2022 (edited) King Boxer is my number one favorite Shaw movie, but in general, I always enjoyed him more as a heel. He just does it so well, and also really appreciate the varied performances he delivers within the villain-sphere. Other badguy actors are great at playing the badguy, but often with minimal variety. Think of Lo as the ghoulish, hunched over Japanese villain in Chinese Boxer, who gets so pissed off that he literally hits the roof... and goes through it. It's almost cartoony. A psycho driven by anger and emotion. And then there's his various, but consistent, takes on the Pai Mei character. Very cool and calm, seemingly with no emotions at all, and not using an ounce more energy than he absolutely has to. He's like a spider that lures you into his web. Or the sniveling, weaselly kind seen in Shaolin Handlock. A coward that will try to stab you in the back but beg for mercy if you get the upper hand. Someone who trains in seclusion, not for peace of mind, but because he's underhanded and will use shifty methods as part of his style. I could go on, but there are so many examples. And yes, there are also many examples of him doing just the run-of-mill cackling villain, and sometimes on autopilot. But that is understandable when doing so many films, playing seemingly similar character types.

Member AlexanderFu Posted May 8, 2022 Member Share Posted May 8, 2022 Valley of the Fangs and The Swift Knight were great early movies and I love the dub for VOTF. Lo Lieh's voicesounds like Jimmy Stewart in that! David Chiang had that voice dub him and I always crack up how it sounds like the 'It's a Wonderful Life' actor! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member ShawAngela Posted January 19, 2023 Member Share Posted January 19, 2023 I watched Fists and guts today and I enjoyed a lot the furious fight between Lo Lieh and Liu Chia Hui. Lo Lieh uses a lo of different Shaolin styles here, and I don't remember to have ever seen him using such styles as the tiger and other ones in any other movie. Does any of you kow if he used Shaolin styles in other movies that I'm not aware of ? I must say that though he has only one fight in the movie, Lo Lieh stole it from Liu Chia Hui ! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen people put down Lo Lieh's fighting skills, but I think he moved so gracefully. I think he had it all. He could act, fight, was so beautiful and just gave off the coolest vibe. he is not leaving my top 2 any time soon! (Him and Alexander Fu Sheng are neck and neck). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's not like he did one or two series, he did a lot ! And I'm not aware of all of them, since it's so difficult to find a complete list of the tv series our favorite actors played in ! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no expert on the male buttocks, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. He seemed like he's have no problem doing this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
