Lu Feng, of Shaw Brothers movie fame, at a rare personal appearance in NYC. He, along with Kuo Chui (Philip Kwok), Chiang Sheng, Lo Meng, Sun Chien, and Wei Pai, was one of the legendary original 'Venoms'. The 'Venom Mob' also included secondary (or later) members, including Wang Li, Chu Ko, Chin Siu-Ho, Lung Tien-Hsiang, Yang Hsiung, Yu Tai-Ping, Ricky Cheng Tien-Chi, Kuan Feng, etc.

Lu Feng remains one of my all-time favorite KF movie actors/performers, especially as one of Shaw's top villains. In particular, his acrobatic weapons choreography and execution were too-notch. It's great to see that he is doing well.

This is a sequel to my original ‘Kung Fu Actor Interviews’ thread from a few years back. I tried, and have been completely unable to access it for continuity.

Do you mean this thread? I'll merge it if you like.

Thanks, Gene, would be cool. IIRC, I also had another brief thread called “Lu Feng Interview” or something, don’t know where that one is, but it would fit in there, too.

Found that Lu Feng one too - Lu Feng (a.k.a., Luther Chu) interviews and Q&A. It's merged in as well.

Keep 'em coming.

[Jimbo]

Will do, Gene!

Max Lee interview.

Max Lee is recognizable from a number of KF films, but I mainly remember him from Fist of Fury, as the first Japanese guy who approaches Bruce Lee in the dojo and gets knocked on his butt. Also, as the sawed-off little kung fu student who bullied Jackie Chan in Snake in the Eagle’s Shadow.
