Silver Fox! Arriving in Hong Kong in 1976, Korean thump-champ Hwang Jang Lee found himself high-kicking his way through several early stand-out Jackie Chan hits; his rapid fire thunderleg antagonism more than a match for Chan's bumpkin capering. Rarely seen not thrashing his legs about hapless stunt performers, Hwang carved out an electric career as a series of hyper-fighting moustached bastards. Hwang's pin-power apparently extended into real life too. IMDb has it that Hwang kicked a bushwhacking Vietnamese knife-fighter to death, whilst trying to teach Tae Kwon Do to the Korean army. Yikes! Here's a spiffy little slaughter showreel.
Born to kick!
