Guest Endsang Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Greetings everyone. I am a huge fan of classic kung fu and wuxia movies, and I love learning more about the actors. I have alot of favourite actors, but it's really hard to find interviews and proper bios on the stars from the 70's and 80's. I've found some through google searching, but there are certain actors I can't find any info about, and I'm wondering if it even exists. Finding stuff on the biggest stars like Ti Lung, Sammo Hung, Gordon Liu etc. isn't as hard, but I'd mostly like to find out more about some of the lesser known stars. I would really appreciate it if someone here has links to some rare bios, interviews or just random trivia about any HK kung fu actor from the period. Examples of actors I would like to know more about is Yen Shi Kwan, Yuen Shun Yee, Chi Kuan Chun, Hsiao Hou, Wilson Tong, Wei Pai, Wang Lung Wei, Tino Wong, Don Wong Tao ... Anyone really! Anything about the actors, like background, their careers, what they're doing now. Also, I read somewhere that Hwang Jang Lee was interviewed in 2002. Anyone know if it has been released, and if not, when? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cesare Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Try this site: http://www.brns.com/hkactors/pages/intro.html Seems to have at least some kind of info on quite a lot of people, including some of the lesser known ones... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest teako170 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Chi Kuan Chun His site is http://www.chinakongfu.org (Chinese only. The English version seems to have gone the way of the dinosaur) Wei Pai Nonsense! Wang Lung Wei Johnny is alive and well. He wanted to come to Phillyfest with Lo Mang but the funds just weren't there. I interviewed him a few years back and hope to talk to him again for this Fu Sheng tribute I'm working on for next year. Mike Leeder did an interview with him last year for some Dragon Dynasty DVDs (though I don't know which ones). Don Wong Tao Check out his audio commentary with Toby Russell on Rarescope's "Along Comes A Tiger." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, some really good info on Yen Shi Kwan there. They go over almost every movie he has ever been in. Thanks a lot for the link Cesare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member AlbertV Posted October 30, 2007 Member Share Posted October 30, 2007 Here is a recent pic of Chi Kuan-Chun. He and Ching Kuo-Chung were interviewed for the BCI release of Showdown at the Cotton Mill. I think this was 2004 or 2005. http://asianimpact.ulmb.com/starimages/chikuanchun.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
