Member ShawAngela Posted June 8, 2020 Member Share Posted June 8, 2020 What ?!! This great actor doesn't have a thread ??!! Let's create it, then ! Ok, so, first, does anyone know if he is still alive ? I just took a quick look to his hkmdb page and found three pictures in which I almost didn't recognize him !! First one in Rider of revenge. Second one in The devilish killer Third one in The mighty one He played in only four Shaws Brohters' movies : The mighty one, The champion, Shaolin avengers and New game of death. And I just saw that he also played in two Adam Cheng's movies, Night orchid and Swordsman adventure, that I watched at least twice and I didn't even spotted him !! 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 I wrote down a list of movies in which Lung Fei played : 174 movies, according to hkmdb, and I have 130 of them for sure, maybe 4 or 5 more that I'm not sure. And I realized that he played in a lot of movies in which I didn't even notice him! I guess that when I'll stop working, I'll have A BUNCH of movies to watch or rewatch !! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member SunChien Posted June 15, 2022 Member Share Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) He is one of my favorite villains and most folks might know him as "Master Betty" from the film Kung Pow which was Tiger & Crane Fists with a dub over and Steve Oedekirk edited in. It was good for a laugh. My favorite film with him was Deadly Strike as one of the convicts who helped Bruce Li in his operation against Chen Sing's group. What has he been up to these days?

Member saltysam Posted June 15, 2022 Member Share Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) Wasn't he involved in the triads back in the day? Big favourite of mine,great sidekick for Wang Yu and to a lesser extent Ho Chung Tao. Plus plenty of other classics.He was great in Beach Of The War Gods.

Member Cognoscente Posted July 27, 2022 Member Share Posted July 27, 2022 In the Chinese version of that movie, the dialogue is different during the scene where Ho Chung-Tao pretends to be an old newspaper vendor. Instead of saying "Movie star Susie Yung's been kidnapped," Ho says "Movie star Lung Fei found dead." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Lung Fei have triad connections in real life? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to this Chinese page, he was killed in a fight while drunk: https://movie.douban.com/celebrity/1347593/ I tried to find the taxi driver story but nothing turned up on a Chinese site. It's hard to imagine him lacking money given how prolific he was, so perhaps he felt that he didn't need to pay the driver because of his status as a gangster. 1 hour ago, ShawAngela said: Are there any proofs that Shan Mao was a gangster ?

Nowhere near a valid reason to assume he’s one, but Shan Mao for me just gave off that aura. I’d bet my money and feel confident tbh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that ETD is Enter the dragon, but I don't have time to check if he played in it or not, sorry. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I read in the subtitles of Chen Hui Min's interview posted by @DragonClaws, it seems that everybody in the industry was a triad member, but without any proof, that's hard to tell regarding precisely an actor or another one... I guess that maybe you are right... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
