Mention the name of Jackie Chan, I believe that the audience who likes action movies is no stranger. With his unique comedic action style, Jackie Chan once went from the Hong Kong film screen to Hollywood, and gained a lot of attention in the international film industry. In Jackie Chan's films, many foreign stars with flexible hands have also left a deep impression on many audiences with their wonderful performances. Today, we will take stock of the seven foreign stars in Jackie Chan's movies. These seven stars have recruited Hong Jinbao and kicked Yuan Biao, and one of them is also a professional bodyguard.
1. Huang Renzhi
In Jackie Chan's works, Huang Renzhi should be a more familiar one for fans. In classic kung fu films such as "Master and Disciple Out of the Horse" and "Young Master Dragon", Huang Renzhi played the role of the big villain, which has impressed many viewers. As a star from South Korea, Huang Renshi has been favored by many Hong Kong directors with his strong strength of Aikido Seven Dan and Taekwondo Six Dan. In addition to working with Jackie Chan, Huang Renzhi has wonderful performances in Bruce Lee's "Raptor Crossing the River", Mao Ying's "Aikido", and Hong Jinbao's "Life and Death Battle in the Middle Muay Thai Boxing Arena".
2. Huang Zhengli
Also a taekwondo master from South Korea, Huang Zhengli was also active in Jackie Chan's movies. In 1976, the fierce Huang Zhengli came to Hong Kong to develop, and received a lot of attention with the movie "South Fist and North Leg". In 1978, Yuan Heping directed two films for Jackie Chan, "Serpentine Executioner" and "Drunken Fist", and Huang Zhengli was also invited to play the role of the main villain in the film. "Snake-shaped Executioner" and "Drunken Fist" swept Asia after their release, and Huang Zhengli also attracted much attention. It is said that the "Peach White" in the Japanese manga "Dragon Ball" was created based on Huang Zhengli in "Snake-shaped Executioner".
3. Binney Euquadez
The name of "Jet" Binnie Euquadez is no stranger to fans who believe in action movies. Binnie Euquidez was born into a fighting family, the son of a professional fighting champion and the mother of a wrestling champion. Binni Euquaid has 5 brothers and 4 sisters, among whom 9 black belt karate black belts and 4 free throw champions have been born. Binnie Euquadez has also made a name for himself in the ring and has won six world-class fighting titles.
After retiring from the army, Binnie Euquidez became an action actor with his flexible skills. In 1984's "Fast Food Truck", Binnie Euquaidz and Jackie Chan had their first collaboration, and a hardcore fight between the two at the end of the film was also rated as the second most wonderful film and television drama fight scene in history by the American "Black Belt" magazine. In 1987, Binnie Euquadez collaborated with Jackie Chan again on "The Flying Dragon Maverick", and in the filming of the film, Binnie Euquadez kicked too hard because of a turn and kick, and also kicked Yuan Biao, who was playing, unconscious.
4. Richard Norton
Richard Norton, who co-starred with Jackie Chan on "A Good Man" and "City Hunter", is also a powerful star. Richard Norton has loved karate since childhood, and has since earned karate black belt honors through hard work. In his early years, Richard Norton became a professional bodyguard with his outstanding skills, and served as a personal bodyguard for international celebrities such as David Bowie and Paul McCartney.
In 1980, Richard Norton entered the film industry under the discovery of Hollywood film star Chuck Norris and began to be known to audiences. In 1985, Richard Norton was invited to star in the film Summer Lucky Star, in which he starred as a foreign thug. This is the first Hong Kong film starring Richard Norton, and the bridge section where he fights with Hong Jinbao has also left a deep impression on many viewers.
In 1993, Jackie Chan starred in "City Hunter", Richard Norton was invited to play the role of the villain "Madonna", and his fight performance with Jackie Chan also made many viewers remember it vividly. In 1997, Richard Norton collaborated with Jackie Chan again on the film "A Good Man", in which he starred as the main villain.
5. Kurata Hosaki
For the name Hosaki Kurata, I believe that audiences who like Hong Kong-made action movies are not strangers. On the screen of the former Hong Kong films, the figure of Kurata Yasuaki was also popular. In films such as "Jingwu Hero", "Oriental Condor", "Sunset Angel", "Rich Train" and so on, Kurata Yasuaki has an outstanding performance. In Jackie Chan's film works, Kurata Yasuaki has also given many wonderful fight performances.
The first collaboration between Kurata and Jackie Chan was in 1985's Summer Lucky Star. In the film, Kurata Yasuaki uses a badminton racket to fight with Jackie Chan and Hong Jinbao, which is also fresh in the memory of many fans. In 2009's "Shinjuku Incident", Kurata Hosaki once again cooperated with Jackie Chan and played the role of "Watanabe Taro", and this performance also allowed Kurata Toaki to receive a lot of praise from the audience.
6. Gary Daniels
Gary Daniels is also a foreign star who is extremely active in Chinese action films. Influenced by Bruce Lee as a child, Gary Daniels became interested in martial arts and studied taekwondo and Aikido for many years. As an adult, Gary Daniels became an action movie star on the American screen with his strong strength. In 1993's City Hunter, Gary Daniels was invited to play the role of thug in the film, and also staged a "Street Fighter Showdown" with Jackie Chan, which impressed many viewers.
7. Scott Arkins
Hollywood star Scott Atkins, with Jackie Chan also has a lot of screen cooperation. Because of his admiration for Bruce Lee and Shange Winton on the screen, Scott Atkins began to study judo and taekwondo from an early age. As an adult, Scott Atkins successfully entered the film industry with his athletic skills, and participated in the filming of Jackie Chan's film "Secret Agent Maze" in 2001. In 2003's "Wyvern Regeneration", Scott Atkins collaborated with Jackie Chan again and staged a wonderful action scene in the film.
Not only Jackie Chan, But also Scott Atkins and Jet Li have a lot of cooperation. In 2005's "Danny the Wolfhound", Scott Atkins played a thug role and fought and crossed paths with Jet Li. In 2012's "Daredevil 2", Scott Atkins was invited to play the villain role again. In addition to Jackie Chan and Jet Li, Scott Atkins has also collaborated with Wu Jing. In 2015, Wu Jing directed and starred in the action movie "Wolf Warrior", and Scott Atkins was also invited to star in the film's main villain "Old Cat".
Some of these powerful stars have faded out of the film world, and some are still active on the screen. On today's movie screens, it is becoming more and more common for special effects to replace technical fighting. And with the fading of these powerful stars on the screen, those good action films of technical fighting have also become the nostalgia of fans for a film era.
