Guest Killer Meteor Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 You might remember him from Have Sword, Will Travel The Heroic Ones The Chinese Boxer The New One Armed Swordsman The Bloody Fists Tiger Vs. Dragon Rage Against The Wind New Fist Of Fury Bruce Lee: The Invincible Bruce Lee in New Guinea One of my fave kung fu stars! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I wasn't sure if he meant Chen Hsing because the dude wasn't that old!! lol He played San Te, the same character Liu Chia Hui plays in The 36th Chamber. Great character actor, who sometimes got plum lead roles (see The Shaolin Plot for e.g.). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CrazyFrog Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Thanks, I'll check out some of his others. He looks older in IFM, but maybe he wasn't. The guy looks intimidating but friendly, like Yul Brynner on roids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Morgoth Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 To me Chen Sing was always at his best when playing a good guy. Check out Heroes of Shaolin if you get a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member The Dragon Posted November 26, 2007 Member Share Posted November 26, 2007 I liked 'old Chen in The Bloody Fists. He was like an Asian Charles Bronson or equivelant. Tough, brooding, and still kicking major butt, he was great at both hero and villainous roles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CrazyFrog Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Thanks all! I will check out Heroes of Shaolin and some others. I just like this guy's presence and I gravitate towards movies with actors that are memorable like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member SlothStyleKungFu Posted February 7, 2008 Member Share Posted February 7, 2008 Chen Sing is one of my favorites. In my kung fu infancy, I first only recognized him in bad guy roles and regarded him as, "The guy they probably got because (in Taiwan) Lung Fei or (in HK) Ti Lung were busy." But then when I started seeing him on more lead roles (and heroic ones) I realized what a badass presence he had in addition to a freaking fantastic physicality to his fighting. He had to be one of the best "lay on a beatdown" fighters in the history of kung fudom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jstn Posted February 25, 2008 Member Share Posted February 25, 2008 He was also in a movie with Carter Wong, something with "Flying Gullotine" in the title. I like him as an actor, but his martial art skills never impressed me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member The Dragon Posted February 27, 2008 Member Share Posted February 27, 2008 I loved him as the antagonist in Duel of Fists & The Angry Guest. The Killer, was his name if I recall correctly. He would stop at nothing to exact his revenge on Ti Lung and David Chiang in those films, killing and harming anyone close to those two.

Member Cognoscente Posted June 7, 2021 Member Share Posted June 7, 2021 The rape scenes were a bit much for me. A better way for Sammo to convey the malice of the Manchus would have been to depict them killing children. In 1976, John Carpenter's Assault on Precinct 13 depicted a child being shot, so you would think that Sammo would have followed in his footsteps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Cognoscente Posted June 8, 2021 Member Share Posted June 8, 2021 Come to think of it, I don't think that Sammo ever directed a movie where a child got killed (not even those evil kids in Eastern Condors). When I saw The Prodigal Son, I was expecting to see the equivalent to the Seven Little Fortunes having their necks slit in the assassination scene. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DrNgor Posted June 22 Member Share Posted June 22 I have read in several sources that Jackie Chan assisted in the fight choreography. At one point, it was even reflected in the HKMDB, but that detail is no longer there. Does anybody know if Jackie did indeed help behind the scenes?

From what I learned, It is basically believed that this is due to assumption /wrong info. One of the credited choreographers was "Yuen Lung" AKA Sammo's Peking opera name, which some people thought was Jackie. Jackie Chan's Peking opera school name however was "Yuen Lo". So basically Sammo credited himself as his Peking opera school name, and people thought it was JC being credited.
