In the 1980s and 1990s, Hong Kong movies were all the rage, and Koreans especially liked Wang Zuxian, Chow Sing-chi, Chow Yun-fat, Jackie Chan, and Zhang Guorong, and film clips such as "The True Colors of Heroes" and "Ghost of a Woman" often appeared in their dramas, such as "Please Answer 1988", which is known as Korea's first divine drama. Of course, in the 1970s and 1980s, there were also many Korean stars who developed in the Hong Kong film industry, let's take a look!
1. Huang Zhengli
There were once 4 leg kings in the Hong Kong film industry, namely Huang Zhengli, Tan Daoliang, Liu Zhongliang and Kasafa, of which Huang Zhengli is known as the greatest leg master in history, who kicked off a tooth of Jackie Chan in "Snake-shaped Executioner", which shows how strong the strength is, and the peach white prototype of "Dragon Ball" is based on Huang Zhengli of "Snake-shaped Executioner". Huang Zhengli mostly played villain roles in the Hong Kong film industry that year, in addition to cooperating with Jackie Chan in "Drunken Fist" and "Snake-shaped Executioner", he also cooperated with Liu Zhongliang in "Southern Fist North Leg" and "Southern Fist North Leg Fighting Golden Fox". In the 1980s, he cooperated with Hong Jinbao in "The Great Lama of Perak" and "Rich Train", participated in "Chinese Warrior", and after the 90s, Huang Zhengli faded out of the film world and is currently teaching apprentices in the opening of the museum.
2. Casava
One of the four-legged king, the signature action is whirlwind kick, his acting career is relatively flat, most of the roles played are supporting roles, the only thing that can really be remembered is "Mr. Zan and Finding Qianhua", and Feng Ke'an finally had the ultimate showdown, a move to take off and turn around and kick sideways is very handsome. Although Kasava has strength, but his luck is a little bad, so he basically quit the Hong Kong film industry after the 1980s, and returned to South Korea in 1985 to direct and act in a "Magic Sword Night Knife", but it did not make much waves.
3. Tang Long
Huang Zhengli, Kasava and Tang Long have cooperated in "Game of Death", which to some extent makes up for their regret that they did not cooperate with Bruce Lee. After Bruce Lee's death in 1973, leaving the unfinished "Game of Death" and "Tower of Death", Jiahe found Tang Long in South Korea to replace Bruce Lee, which is what we often call Bruce Lee's half-movie. Tang Long himself can also do kung fu, plus he is a bit similar to Bruce Lee, so it is still more appropriate. Tang Long's acting career began with Bruce Lee, but he did not become popular, and later participated in "Death Tower" and "Blood Game", but the response was average. It's gone since the 90s.
4. Huang Renzhi
Wong Ish Sik is also a common villain boss in Hong Kong movies, and was the first to cooperate with Bruce Lee in "Raptors Across the River", starring as a Japanese thug. Huang Renzhi is highly accomplished in Aikido and taekwondo, excelling in leg skills, grappling and throwing, and was once known as the king of left leg attacks. Entered the 80s and cooperated with Jackie Chan in "Master and Disciple Out of the Horse" and "Young Master of the Dragon", and finally showed off with Jackie Chan. After the 90s, there was no trace of it.
5. Chi Hanzai
Hwang In-sik's master, the head of Aikido in South Korea, is a grandmaster-level figure who has participated in two Hong Kong films, namely "Aikido" and "Game of Death", of which "Aikido" he performed as a grandmaster and began as an apprentice. Then there was a showdown between Bruce Lee in the "Dragon Palace" in "Game of Death", but unfortunately it was not in the final release, and it had to be said that it was a big regret.
6. Li Junjiu
Known as the "Father of Taekwondo in the United States", he was one of Bruce Lee's ten martial arts masters, and the two of them often exchanged kung fu in their youth, communicated with each other, maintained a good friendship, and even proposed that November 27 (Bruce Lee's birthday) be designated as "Kung Fu Festival". Above the movie, Li Junjiu participated in Huang Feng's "Taekwondo Shakes Kyushu", starring Mao Ying, Hong Jinbao, Huang Jiada, Huang Renshi, etc., while Lin Zhengying and Yuan Biao also ran dragon sets in it.
7. Yuan Zhen
Hearing this name, many people will think that he is the same as Yuanhua, Yuanbiao, Yuankui, Yuanbin, Yuande, etc., is a member of the Seven Little Blessings, don't misunderstand, Yuanzhen's original name is Kim Won, is Korean, and has nothing to do with them. Yuan Zhen was influenced by Bruce Lee in his early years to join the show business circle as a dragon and tiger martial artist, worked with Huang Zhengli in the 80s, was invited by Liu Jialiang to star in "Scorpion Warrior" in the 90s, and became famous with the role of the villain Sunny. Later, he participated in Hong Kong films such as "Thunder X-Men" and "Naked, Naked, Running Wild". After the new century, he chose to return to Korea to develop and focus on behind-the-scenes martial arts instruction.
Of course, in addition to attracting Korean stars, Hong Kong movies at that time also had many other countries and regions, such as Kurata Yasuaki, Oshima Ugari, Nishikyo Michiko, Jet Binnie, Lovelough, Chuck Norris and so on. The once brilliant Hong Kong films also have their share of credit, nostalgic for the Hong Kong films that once gathered stars.
