Personal Facts
  • aka Sing Lung
  • was member of the Seven Little Fortunes Peking Opera Troupe
    • Movie Facts
  • he also directed many of the movies he starred in and produced others (e.g. Top Squad aka The Inspector Wears a Skirt and Rouge)
  • first film appearance with 8 years in Big and Little Wong Tin Bar (1962)
  • appeared in John Woo's Hand of Death in 1976 (your only chance to see Jackie Chan, John Woo and Samo Hung in the same movie)
  • after failed attempts to launch Jackie as a successor to Bruce Lee he finally became famous when Snake in the Eagle's Shadow went a different way than other kung fu movies at that time by mixing a big amount of humor to the plot
  • almost got killed when a jump to a tree during the filming of Armour of God went wrong (easy stunts are the most dangerous)
  • showdown of Police Story features the most amount of broken glass you'll ever see
  • scene in City Hunter where Jackie and Gary Daniels become characters of the Streetfighter video game is a perfect realization of a video game in film (at least it beats everything in the Streetfighter movie).
  • with Battlecreek Brawl (1980) and The Protector (1986) two attempts to reach an American audience failed (not including Jackie's cameo in Cannonball Run)...
  • ...but the Nineties brought international success when Rumble in the Bronx became a hit in the USA
  • next project is Armour of God 3 (aka Operation Condor 2)
