Member ShawAngela Posted June 7, 2020 Member Share Posted June 7, 2020 Well, I didn't know where exactly post this thread, but as it will talk about actors, I thought that it was the right section. If not, someone will move it... We recently talk about Fong Yau and Sun Lan with @DragonClaws (I don't remember in which thread). There are also Chan Lau and Hsieh Hsin who are regularly playing bad guys in martial arts movies, and in addition to that, I find that they all have a similar look (see pictures, in the same order I mentioned these actors). So far, I saw Hsieh Hsing playing a good guy in only one movie, and first, i don't remember which one, and second, his character dies very quickly in the movie.. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShawAngela Posted June 7, 2020 Author Member Share Posted June 7, 2020 Suen Yuet is also a regular villain, and it's only very recently that I saw him in movies in which he played someone else than a traitor, a rapist or a bandit... Of course, Lo Lieh and Ku Feng were also great villains. Do you have any other actors in mind ? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Iron_Leopard Posted June 7, 2020 Member Share Posted June 7, 2020 Got to go with Wang Lung. Classic Shaws villain. Also Yu Rongguang played far more villains than heroes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShawAngela Posted June 7, 2020 Author Member Share Posted June 7, 2020 Ah, yes, I forgot Wang Lung Wei. And of course, the duo Shan Mao-Lung Fei ! Does anyone know if they were good friends in the real life ? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member danthemandmv Posted June 7, 2020 Member Share Posted June 7, 2020 Lee Keung played villains in a few Wang Yu & Chia Ling films, plus the massive Cheng Fu Hung had quite a villainous career as well... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShawAngela Posted June 7, 2020 Author Member Share Posted June 7, 2020 And how could I forget the one and unique Yi Yuan ??!! I recently watched several movies in which Chan Wai Lau was a real bad guy too. And talking about Chan...What about Chan Wai Man ? I haven't watched all of his movies, so, I don't know if he played more villains than good guys... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShawAngela Posted June 7, 2020 Author Member Share Posted June 7, 2020 San Kuai is a real detestable villain in some movies. Chen Hung Lieh also had a bunch of bad guys characters in his career and I only knew him through this kind of roles until I saw him in The Winged Tiger ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member CT KID Posted June 7, 2020 Member Share Posted June 7, 2020 Hwang Jang Lee, Bolo, Yusaki Kurata, Lee Hoi Sang, Wilson Tong, Robert Tai, Fung Hark On. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member danthemandmv Posted June 8, 2020 Member Share Posted June 8, 2020 Kam Kong made for a physically intimidating villain, as did Korean actor Cho Chun aka Chu Chiun& I can't forget Sonny Chiba's kyokushin senior Masashi ''Milton'' Ishibashi(I still say Ishibashi & Whang Ing Sik could've played brothers, they looked so similar...) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator thekfc Posted June 10, 2020 Moderator Share Posted June 10, 2020 Kang Peng Tommy Lee Phillip Ko Fei Chen Sing Chang Yi Hwan Fung - Although he usually play a supporting role but I love him as the corrector of "bad Kung Fu" in 5 Super Fighters. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Chu Liu Hsiang Posted June 10, 2020 Member Share Posted June 10, 2020 Chiang Tao, he has a perfect bandit face which is still strangely likable. Wong Ching, I only saw one movie where he did not play villain so far. Chiang Nan played lots of slimy villains/ traitors/ collaborateurs. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, he is a perfect villain in all the movies I saw him in this kind of character. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member morpheus Posted June 10, 2020 Member Share Posted June 10, 2020 As CT Kid mentioned....the late Fung Hak-On. He was an excellent fight choreographer as well. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member morpheus Posted June 10, 2020 Member Share Posted June 10, 2020 While I have seen him play the role of good guys before, Fang Mian really has a look that I cannot trust. He has that sneaky, slimy, backstabbing look -a role he was perfect for in The Invincible Fist (1969) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShawAngela Posted June 11, 2020 Author Member Share Posted June 11, 2020 Chen Sing is a perfect vicious guy in some of his movies ; I just finished to watch Shaolin plot and what a hatable prince he impersonates here !! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Graeme Of Death Posted June 12, 2020 Member Share Posted June 12, 2020 Fung Hark On by a mile is my favourite bad guy. Closely followed by Dick Wei, Chung Fat, Yuen Wah and Lee Hoi San 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the arrogant, bullying character he played in The Champions with Yuen Biao and Cheung Kwok-keung . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Iron Head Rat Posted June 13, 2020 Member Share Posted June 13, 2020 Chang Yi,Lung Fei,Fung Hark On & Eddy Ko for me. They had the look. Proper Old Skool Villains. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Chu Liu Hsiang Posted June 13, 2020 Member Share Posted June 13, 2020 (edited) Wang Hsieh and Huang Chung Hsin played lots of villainous roles.

Member Chu Liu Hsiang Posted June 18, 2020 Member Share Posted June 18, 2020 Chan Dik Hak, another perfect villain. I especially liked him as bad guy duo with Fung Hak On in ENTER THE FAT DRAGON. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShawAngela Posted June 18, 2020 Author Member Share Posted June 18, 2020 Thanks for mentioning Chan Dik Hak ! I've been trying to remember this actor's name for ages each time I saw him on screen !! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member morpheus Posted June 18, 2020 Member Share Posted June 18, 2020 Senior Venom #1...Lu Feng Lu often played the role of the baddie in films. I kind of like the way he looks now a lot better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member paimeifist Posted June 18, 2020 Member Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) Kong Do and San Kuai I always remember as the perennial Shaw second tier villains or henchmen. Poor guys just were never cool enough to be the big boss! I think I’ve seen Kong Do as the main baddie in a couple old CC films, but even then, it only made for a less memorable main antagonist. My favorite Bad guy? Easily Lo Lieh, ive seen him effective as a cool and likable villain (Pai Mei), a psycho villain you can sympathize with to some degree (Human Lanterns), and a detestable scum bag (Mad Monkey Kung Fu). As well as everything in between. Lo Lieh is just the man. After Lo Lieh, some of my favorite are Lau Kar Wing (Knockabout), Yuen Shun Yi (Dreadnaught), and of course Hwang Jang Lee in his many villain roles.
