In the 80s and 90s, Hong Kong films were in their golden age, and countless people dreamed of stepping on the hot land of Hong Kong films, among which Wu Jing from the mainland appeared in the movie "The Legend of Shushan" and Zhao Benshan appeared one by one in "Family with a Fairy Wife".
This history also witnessed the prosperity of Hong Kong kung fu movies, which won great love among audiences on both sides of the strait. And this influence has also attracted many foreign martial arts stars to Hong Kong to join this glorious industry. In the audience's beloved Hong Kong films, you can often see foreign martial arts actors who play against kung fu superstars such as Sammo Hung and Jet Li, such as Kurata Hoaki and Jet Binny, which add a lot of color to Hong Kong films.
Kurata Hoaki, the first Japanese martial arts star to become popular in Hong Kong, joined Shaw in the early 70s and made his debut as a villain Japanese thug in director Zhang Che's "Evil Guest". The audience will give enthusiastic applause after seeing him knocked down in the movie, just like the dramatic effect of mythology, which is addictive. From this role, Kurata began to emerge.
Next, Kurata Hoaki continued to cooperate with Hong Kong film kung fu stars such as Jet Li, Jackie Chan, and Yuen Biao, covering almost all martial arts roles in Hong Kong films, becoming an indispensable villain actor.
Yukari Oshima, a disciple of Kurata Hoaki, is known as Huang Quan in "King of Force". Influenced by watching Jackie Chan movies as a child, he grew up and became a martial arts actor. After coming to Hong Kong, he played a supporting role for a long time.
Oshima's truly emerging work by Gali is Sammo Hung's Train of Fortune. Due to the unique publicity points of Japanese female stars in Hong Kong films, Yugali Oshima got the opportunity to show herself and became famous with this film.
After returning to China, he founded a martial arts school to teach his martial arts skills and gradually faded out of the entertainment industry.
Rovlot, who began learning karate at the age of 13, got her first chance to perform in the movie "Royal Senior Sister". With her excellent martial arts kung fu, she quickly stood out and became a common villain actress in Hong Kong films. It is because of this movie that Roflo's life has changed dramatically.
During the filming, she and Meng Hai developed a relationship, and the 6-year relationship between the two has also become the focus of media and fans. Back then, in order to make his girlfriend popular, Meng Hai even directed the movie himself, letting Rovlow play the heroine. However, in the end, the relationship did not last.
Michiko Nishikyo, this name may be relatively unfamiliar to most people, but if you mention the tattooed villain in "God of Gamblers", I believe many people will think of it. She participated in many films such as "Fuxing Gaozhao" and "Royal Senior Sister 3", although she did not create a distinct role like Yugali Oshima, but as a popular actress, she was once praised as a "goddess" by many audiences.
However, in the late 90s she chose to return to China to develop, and despite a marriage, it did not survive. Today, she is still single, 65-year-old she insists on fitness, and has a very handsome son.

Once a professional fighter, he fought thousands of battles, won 63 fights, lost 0 fights, and knocked out 57 times, holding an undefeated record of 27 consecutive years. In Hong Kong films, he often plays the role of a terrifying villain, and has also coached many martial arts techniques such as Billy Chow, and his goal is to become the second Bruce Lee. However, with the decline of Hong Kong films, he chose to return to China to develop, and since then news has gradually become scarce.
Chiba Shinichi, the most impressive thing for the audience is the hero played in "Wind and Cloud". However, in 2021, he passed away and became part of people's nostalgia.
Li Xiangning, as the daughter of Bruce Lee, she was a frequent guest in early Hong Kong kung fu films, and her performances often attracted the attention of audiences. However, as she grew older, she faded out of show business to focus on promoting her father's cultural heritage. Today, she and her mother, Linda Emery, have settled abroad and have changed their shape.
And Michelle Yeoh, she has always been considered a native Hong Kong actress, but in fact she is an actress from Malaysia. She transformed into a female star in the "Royal Senior Sister" series and has now become an international star.
Time flies, these foreign martial arts stars have experienced the heyday and decline of Hong Kong cinema, and they have each left an indelible mark on the film industry. The changes of the years have turned their faces and circumstances upside down, but the heroic sass they once showed on the screen is still unforgettable. In the world of this movie, they are like bright stars, shining in the long river of history and will never be forgotten.
