Long Fei, at first sight of this name, you may think that this is a beautiful teenager in white. In fact, this person's face was iron blue, and the tiger's beard was steel, like a fierce god.
Dragon Fly
If you are also a kung fu movie lover, you may have seen him in some old, rough kung fu films; you may not be able to call his name, he is a Taiwanese villain professional who has appeared in hundreds of movies but is not well known - Long Fei.
The True Colors of Heroes
Tiger Fist
The Big Iron Bull
Long Fei, formerly known as Zhou Xingui, was born in Taiwan on January 22, 1943 – there is only one sentence about him on the Internet, where he grew up, studied, practiced martial arts, and so on, and other early experiences we do not know at all, only from the kung fu films he starred in, it can be inferred that he may have practiced karate.
"High Roller"
"Strange Fist of the Master"
To be fair, with the appearance of Long Fei, playing the male protagonist seems to be a bit slim. It is also true that in his long career in film, he has gone through the road of upgrading dragon sets, small bosses, and big bosses, and although he has starred in more than one hundred and seventy movies, almost all of them are villains.
"Chivalrous Woman", the right dragon flies
Long Fei's first film, released around 1969, was "Blood Drops", which began his dragon suit road. After that, he starred in "Ten Days of Dragon City" and "Heroine Girl" starring Xu Feng, "Agni Fire" starring Shangguan Lingfeng, Chen Honglie's "One-Armed Empty Knife", etc., all of which were small roles with horns and horns, until he met Wang Yu.
God of War Beach
"One-Armed Boxer"
Tiger Crane Double Shape
Wang Yu is the most important person in Long Fei's career. In 1970, Wang Yu left the "Shaw" with a tough attitude and came to Taiwan to stand on its own. Starting from 1971's "Black and White Road", the powerful and abominable Dragon Fei became the royal villain in Wang Yu's films. Throughout the 1970s, Long Fei participated in almost all of Wang Yu's films in Taiwan, including "Overlord Fist", "God of War Beach", "One-Armed Boxer", "Tiger Crane Double Shape", "Four Heavenly Kings", "Heroic Nature" and so on.
"Kunbao Punch"
Villains of all sizes have made Long Fei perform over and over again, and several times as the final boss has launched a deadly fight with Wang Yu, such as "One-Armed Boxer King" and "Tiger Crane Double Shape". It is worth mentioning that "Tiger Crane Double Shape" was adapted into the comedy "Kunbao Punch" by Avid Kung Fu film enthusiast Steve Odercork in 2002. Steve deleted all the dialogue in the original film, re-dubbed and edited, and renamed the villain "Lu Tianzhu" played by Long Fei to "Betty". The film is a spoof, and the passage between the male protagonist and the cow was once all the rage.
"Raptors Conquest"
Golden Sun
"A Lamp in the Jianghu", left Tan Daoliang
"Tangshan Cut Boxing Dao", Long Fei, He Zongdao
In addition to Wang Yu, Long Fei has also cooperated with the famous Bruce Lee copycat He Zongdao many times, starring in "New Game of Death", "Raptor Zhengdong", "Emperor Superstar", "Tangshan Truncated Boxing" and so on. He and "Leg King" Tan Daoliang also co-starred in "A Generation of Heroes", "Burning Red Lotus Temple", "Legs of Heaven and Earth", "Sunset Forbidden City" and so on.
"Snake-shaped Trick Fighter Mantis", Wang Dao, Dragon Fly
"The Emperor of the Palm of the Buddha", the right one Meng Hai
Long Fei has always been rooted in Taiwan and has never gone to Hong Kong to pan for gold, which is known as the "Hollywood of the East". Unfortunately, compared with the Hong Kong films of the same period, the martial arts films and kung fu films produced in Taiwan are simply unbearable. Long Fei's only few films that can be handed out are also filmed by the Hong Kong team in Taiwan, such as "Snake-shaped Killer Fighting Mantis", "Drunken Eight Immortal Fist", "Buddha Palm Emperor" and so on.
Dragon Fly's later works
After entering the 1980s, Longfei gradually reduced his workload. With the decline of costume films and minchu films, Long Fei gradually had no drama to shoot. In the late 1980s, he mingled with He Zhiqiang and made a series of bizarre films for "Universal" and "Filmark".
"Undercover Calculation"
In 1993, Long Fei made cameo appearances in the modern action films "Blood City" and "Undercover Calculation". These two shoddy films are his last two works. Since then, Long Fei has withdrawn from the film world and has not been heard from.
"Quietly I go, just as I come quietly; I wave my sleeve without taking away a cloud." Long Fei's retreat was like his appearance, no one applauded and there was no trace. In more than twenty years of his career, he has not played the male lead once, and this silent persistence and dedication is really admirable.
Let's remember this bearded villain pro, Dragon Fly.
