Yu Tien Lung Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 (edited) If you're like me, the villain will make or break a film. If the bad guy doesn't seem viable as serious threat to your well being of have the ability to stomp your head into the ground, I'll lose interest very quickly. I've never even been able to sit thru the "Gangs of New York" because 90lb Daniel Day Lewis always looked like someone I could snap like a twig, or the Big Boss from the Big Boss, had no muscles and seemed like he might have had COPD from them cigs when Bruce was whooping that azz. So instead of all the do-gooder hero nice guys, let's give those dastardly demons some love, without them nobody would be out for REVENGE. 3- LO LIEH - Although he was first introduced to the USA as a good guy in the first chop sockey to make a splash here in THE FIVE FINGERS OF DEATH (that's right before Bruce), but as the evil white haired priest he is immortal, impervious to anyone's best groin kick. Just think how you'd feel after kicking someone in the crotch and he smiles, laughs, then proceeds to dislocate every bone in your body. 2- BOLO YEUNG - ...... Because he's Bolo!! Not just cause he snaps the spines of guards who fail their duties, or that he spanked around JCVD for most of Bloodsport, but he's someone you can tell right away that movie or not, he'd squash you like a bug. 1- WONG FEI-LUNG - Not only does this guy have the longest resume of villain roles, playing evil warlords or Japanese invaders, but his role as the Okinawan Karate cat from the One Armed Boxer is legendary. The look, the fangs, his Karate deadliness, the fact he can't even get along with the other villains, and yanking off Jimmy's arm with one swipe. The highest level of baddassery.

Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted December 16, 2021 Member Share Posted December 16, 2021 I thought you meant specific villain characters, not actors. But yeah, Hwang Jang Lee, Ku Feng, Wang Lung Wei, Lee Hoi San, Fung Hak On, Wilson Tong, Chang Yi are up there. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea that's how it is on Wiki, and he's Fei Lung on IMDB, maybe a couple other versions. I guess it comes with the territory of being in over 150 films, most poorly translated to english. ... and your list is pretty good, forgot about Lee Hoi San, he might beat out Lo Lieh's white haired demon with iron nuts. Fung Hak On had a huge bad guy resume too, he played some roles where he was the underling villain that got his butt whooped early on in the film and had to go running to the boss. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Chu Liu Hsiang Posted December 16, 2021 Member Share Posted December 16, 2021 (edited) In no specific order... Lo Lieh, his evil characters have a scary psycho touch. I much prefer to see him in his early heroic roles. Ku Feng, I love to despise him Fung Hak On, for some unspeakably hateful roles Hwang Jang Lee, Wang Lung Wei, their evil characters seem to be so content and happy being evil Beardy, perfect henchman. Of course he often proved he can play lead characters, too Edited December 16, 2021 by Chu Liu Hsiang Just realized I listed 6 instead of 3 :) 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member morpheus Posted December 20, 2021 Member Share Posted December 20, 2021 * Wang Lung Wei * Fung Hak On * Tien Feng There are a few more that can possibly interchange between the above three for me. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Django Posted December 29, 2021 Member Share Posted December 29, 2021 It's hard to pick only three, this genre thrived on villains and there were plenty of good ones. First off we have the all around solid Hwang Jang Lee of course, who had seemed to have a real good time channeling evil in his performances. Many notable performances. Then Wang Lung Wei comes to mind, always laid back and cool surrounded with the atmosphere of a mastermind mafia boss. Lo Lieh of course... But then I somehow also would love to feature Kam Kong, his performances in MotFG and Iron Monkey is so menacing! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Red Lion Posted January 7, 2022 Member Share Posted January 7, 2022 I could be at this all night but 3 that instantly come to mind are: Ghostface killer from mystery of chess boxing Fung hak on in warriors 2 Master of the flying guillotine 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Yihetuan Posted January 9, 2022 Member Share Posted January 9, 2022 Chen Sing has to be up there too. I also feel Lu Ping "Mr Tough Guy" is just made to play the villain character as well. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member saltysam Posted January 9, 2022 Member Share Posted January 9, 2022 Cheng Sing is my all time king of bashers but he was a great goodie at times so i don't just class him as a baddie. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member sym8 Posted January 12, 2022 Member Share Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) Wang Lung Wei(always thought he was a great villain and worthy adversary) Fung Hak On(Always seemed moody and had that evil look,even when he was playing a good guy) Hwang Jang Lee(his look his insistence on ruling the martial world in a hell of a lot of films and of course his vicious kicks) Edited January 12, 2022 by sym8 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DrNgor Posted January 12, 2022 Member Share Posted January 12, 2022 Yeah, put me down for: Legendary Superkicker Hwang Jang Lee - Even movies where he only gets a single fight scene will usually give him top billing on the VHS or DVD cover. Wang Lung-Wei - Yeah, a great martial artist and villain, too. Chen Sing - With the muscular physique, brutal tiger claw and sleazy mustache, he's one of the great villains of Kung Fu cinema. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking that there weren't enough Koreans in here, lol. Choe Min-gyu (Martin Chui) and Hwang Jeong-lee are pretty good and obviously Kwan Yeong-moon and Casanova Wang Ho are obvious mentions. But I want to put some who don't get as much love, though they certainly deserve it, there boot-work is hard to match, if you don't know them check them out: 1) Kim Yeong-il (Eagle Han Ying) 2) Kwon Seong-yeong 3) Choe Jeong-il Cheers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
