Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted February 24, 2009 Member Share Posted February 24, 2009 He was the man! May he live long and prosper! Check out the audio commentary with Don Wang Tao and Toby Russel for ALONG COMES THE TIGER. I seem to remember that Don has a few stories about Chang Yi!

I'd love to see him now, any idea if these appearances are viewable on the internet anywhere? I wonder ... if he knows he still has fans out there. I wonder that too. I've tried to find out where to write to him, but I've never had any luck. Does anyone have any idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member chen lung Posted February 26, 2009 Member Share Posted February 26, 2009 HKCinemagic reports he died in 1984. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jesse Smooth Posted February 27, 2009 Member Share Posted February 27, 2009 That's obviously bogus since he had appeared in films since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member moongirl Posted February 27, 2009 Author Member Share Posted February 27, 2009 HKcinemagic had incorrectly posted the biography of Chang Ying on Chang Yi's page, and it was Chang Ying who had died in 1984. HKcinemagic corrected that mistake a little while ago and instead included the biography of Chang Yi that's on the HK Movie Database, which is credited as coming from Celestial. HKcinemagic probably had the wrong bio because on the Shaw Brothers cast page on the Celestial website, Celestial mistakenly has Chang Yi's picture on Chang Ying's page. I emailed them several times about this, but they still haven't changed it, nor have they given Chang Yi his own page or even list him as a Shaw Brothers actor!

That's a shame; having incorrect information on someone's life. That would drive me nuts if I were him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
