30 - Sir Run-Run Shaw (and David Chiang)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hxc-idMEORA
This vid is from an early-1970s British documentary on Shaw Brothers studios. Some interesting behind-the-scenes footage. The pic and sound are not great quality.
New interview with Raymond Chow-

"For someone who's a Shaolin monk, your kung fu's really lousy!"
"What, you're dead? You die easy!"
"Hold on now. I said I would forget your doings, but I didn't promise to spare your life. Take his head."
“I don’t usually smoke this brand, but I’ll do it for you.”
"When all this is over, Tan Hai Chi, I will kick your head off and put it on my brother's grave!
"I regard hardships as part of my training. I don't need to relax."

34 - Wong Tao

35 - Hwang In-Shik
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmelDX1yjCY
Wong Tao was one of the more prolific KF stars of the mid-'70s through early '80s. He is also gives possibly the best and most candid/interesting interviews of all the old-school KF actors, as can be heard here and in the audio commentary on the Along Comes A Tiger DVD.
Of course, Hwang In-Shik is the Hapkido master from the films Hapkido, Way of the Dragon, The Young Master, Dragon Lord, A Fistful of Talons, and a number of other films as well.

36 - Phillip Ko (with Mark Houghton)

The interview is voiced over. The voice-over guy (or Phillip Ko) misstated Bob Wall's weight; Bob Wall was WAY over 100 pounds. He probably meant 200 pounds.

Edit to add:
There 's been a lot of speculation and innuendo about whether Chang Cheh was g@y or not, including in this documentary. Maybe he was, but he always denied it. I personally couldn't give a **** either way. All I know is he was a great director, who directed some of the best MA films ever made. He also directed some dreck near the end of his career, but that's beside the point. ANY weapon could be viewed as a "phallic symbol", if you think about it, except maybe a bomb.
The number of old-school stars and directors who owe a debt to him for their careers are legion. It seems disrespectful to me that some people talk about him like that, some laughingly. I've seen people talking about that in another documentary, too.

Most of the interview is in Japanese, but Lydia Shum replies in English. Discussing her role in Drunken Tai Chi (Donnie Yen's first film). To Lydia's right is director Yuen Woo-Ping. She passed away a few years ago.

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.
