Moderator Asmo Posted February 22, 2008 Moderator Share Posted February 22, 2008 Alright, title may be confusing but I was thinking it might be helpful to people if a list of films involving the Seven Little Fortunes (Yuen Wah, Corey Yuen [Yuen Kwai], Sammo Hung [Yuen Long], Jackie Chan [Yuen Lo], Yuen Tak, Yuen Mao, and Yuen Biao) was compiled. I was thinking the films listed would have to fall to the same criteria as a Venoms film (albeit lesser). That is, a film that involves 3 or 4 of them (Eastern Condors for example) would be accepted while a film that might only involve 1 of them with 1 in a smaller role (say Rob-B-Hood or The Myth). I was thinking the list could also extend to off-screen roles. (Obviously this is in the classic forum, and there are modern titles as well. I just thought the bulk of the titles would fall in this period). I realise this may be a long list to compile but I think it might be helpful to some. I may need assistance with this too Here's some to start: Eastern Condors (Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, Yuen Wah, Corey Yuen) Dragons Forever (Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, Yuen Wah, Corey Yuen [offscreen], Yuen Mao [stunts]) The Iceman Cometh (Yuen Biao, Yuen Wah, Corey Yuen [offscreen, brief appearance], Yuen Tak [stunts]) Project A (Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao) Winners and Sinners (Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao [brief appearance]) Wheels on Meals (Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao) She Shoots Straight (Corey Yuen, Sammo Hung [offscreen, brief appearance], Yuen Wah, Yuen Tak [offscreen]) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator thekfc Posted February 23, 2008 Moderator Share Posted February 23, 2008 Is there a movie where ALL 7 of them worked together on? I see 5 of 7 a few times & one 6 of 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Asmo Posted February 23, 2008 Author Moderator Share Posted February 23, 2008 Not that I know of, the closest would probably be those with 5 or 6. The best way to get an answer would be to ask one of them, I guess. Btw, Yuen Mao is also known as Yuen Mo. There may also be some Shaw films from the 70s/80s with a couple of them too. I didn't know Jackie was in Game of Death? I think Countdown to Kung Fu was an alternate title for Hand(s) of Death. Yuen Wah was also in it. Thanks for the help, everyone!

Member AlbertV Posted February 23, 2008 Member Share Posted February 23, 2008 Young Hero (1982) - Yuen Mo was the star and one of the action choreographers of this film, where he and Kwon Young-Moon take on Hwang Jang-Lee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member theportlykicker Posted February 24, 2008 Member Share Posted February 24, 2008 Meng Yuan Man was also a member of the Seven Little Fortunes, apparently, meaning there were more than 7 of them...

Member ironfistedmonk Posted February 24, 2008 Member Share Posted February 24, 2008 It would have probably been a rotating line up with whoever was at the opera troupe at the time so there would be more than 7 of them, at least thats the way I see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator thekfc Posted February 24, 2008 Moderator Share Posted February 24, 2008 Master Yu Jim Yuen had more 7 students at that time - including Yuen Choi, Yuen Bin, Meng Yuen Man, Yuen Fai, Yuen Qiu, Yuen Bo, Wu Yuen Chun & Yuen Chu. Sammo & his "gang" were the seven who stood out & accomplished the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Asmo Posted April 1, 2008 Author Moderator Share Posted April 1, 2008 Yeah, but it's disputed. For instance Jackie's website claims he was in it but Cheng Pei-Pei said he wasn't in an audio commentary or something. Also, I believe Yuen Chu was another name for Yuen Lung/Sammo.

Member Chinatown Kid Posted April 1, 2008 Member Share Posted April 1, 2008 Yuen Wah also worked on the film Enter the Dragon. From what I understand he doubled Bruce doing the flips over the Monks right after he fights Sammo in the opening intro, and also his backflip against Bob Wall when Wall grabs his legs.
