Chow Yun-fat

We talked about Death Warrant, your amazing role with Jean-Claude Van Damme.

You were great in Under Siege 2, Steven Seagal, Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Chow Yun-Fat.

What's it been like working with all of those action icons? And out of all of those films you've done, What's been your favourite one that you've done of those for the action films?

Well, they're all very, very different human beings.

And if I was going to live someplace else in America, it would probably be in Colorado.

Fantastic.

Who else did you mention? Van Damme, we've touched on that film a bit, but if you had any memories, and Chow Yun-Fat was the other one.

for the replacement killers.

It's a nice little touch.

Um, they're also doing The Corruptor, which is a Chow Yun Fat, Mark Wahlberg movie-

Oh

... which I'm s- sure is very bad.

So to start off with imprint agent number 83, Tiger on the Bee from 1988.

Chow Yun Fat, Nina Lee Chee and Conan Lee stars in Tiger on the Beat, a pulse-pounding action classic from director Lau Ka Leung.

When hotshot cop Francis Lee gets partnered with loose cannon Michael So, a drug investigation explodes into a city-wide battle for survival, culminating in one of the most jaw-dropping chainsaw duels ever committed to film.

Fast, furious, and fueled by the undeniable chemistry of two Hong Kong cinema's brightest stars, Tiger on the Beat is essential action filmmaking at its most gloriously unhinged.

So we cut from here.

We introduced the guy who is, without question, Hong Kong's greatest living screen actor, the great Chow Yun-fat as Ko Chow.

and java this time is really just coming into his own as a theatrical leading man he had huge success on t.v. at t.v.b. is a t.v.b. actor uh... primarily with uh...

the show that really put him on the map was uh...

It was the inspiration for Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs.

And it also has a bravado performance by Chow Yun-fat.

And also breakout performances by Roy Zhang and Carrie Ng.

But this is, again, like I said, these are all shot without permission.

So he has the film's three main characters dubbing their own voices.

And here, of course, we have a nice little panning shot introduced to Danny Lee and his group of heisters here.

Is this the first Danny Lee, Chow Yun-fat

team-up? Yes.

where we're from

We were just being introduced to all the craziest Hong Kong stuff, and I had no idea who, you know, we were learning who, like, Jet Li and Chow Yun-fat were, and Tony Leung, and as it was happening, they'd play Wong Kar-wai, they'd play it all.

But The Killer and specifically Hard Boiled were two of our favorites.

But then for also, you know, Wu-Tang had only had two other albums, right? There was only the 36 Chambers, and then maybe Method Man had come out, and...
