I think Hsiao Hou is one the best movie martial artists from the 70’s and early 80’s. However, he never made it big even though I feel he was in the same league as Jackie Chan and stuff. Have any of you heard of him?
Yes. I’ve heard of him, he’s actually my favorite kung fu actor. Here is a translation of his bio from a chinese web site. He was a talented action star, and went to chinese opera school like Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao and the others except he went to a different opera school. That’s probably why he reminds you of Jackie Chan. And wow, I just realize I’m replying to an old thread LOL
I think he had the best acrobatics (and I daresay, better than Yuen Biao or Yuen Wah) though others would disagree since the other actor had more movies. Ciao
