Which actor has been a Bad Guy The Most on screen

[WhiteTiger1]

I know there are many that have played the part as a Bad Guy. But who has done it the most?? I remember a post back a few years ago that stated that Shun-Yee Yuen played bad guy the most, I just want to clarify on this post.
Thanks :)

[Chinatown Kid]

Some of my best bets would be Hwang Jang Lee, Bolo, Chiang Tao, and Chen Sing. Those dudes almost always played villains.

[Iron_Jinon]

ku feng,kao fei and wang lung wei have also sometimes played role of villain.

[5 Element Boxer]

Definitely Wang Lung Wei. He's been a baddie inside and outside the Shaw studio.

[Yakuza954]

First guy that came to mind was Chang Yi. Then Pillip Ko and Lo Lieh.

I'm pretty much with you, but here's my list!

1) Philip Ko, he's done soooooooooooooo many I can't keep track!

2) Hwang Jang Lee, I don't think he's ever played good guy that came across real, and because of that he will forever been know as the king of the bad guy superkickers! Kind of long-wided, but all the same true :D

3) Lo Lieh, synonymous with bad guy :mad:

[Elvis Mantis]

Uh, Seagal??????

Oh I thought you meant bad actors;)

[Sifu]

If we did, I'd agree with you whole-heartedly :rolleyes: He's bad.

[AlbertV]

I'm thinking it's Chang Yi and Hwang Jang-Lee who gets that title. HJL I've seen as the good guy in not even a handful of films. Chang Yi is definitely a classic villain actor. I'd also say Bolo Yeung (I think Shootfighter 1 & 2, Tiger Claws II, and TC 2000 were the only films I can think of where he was the good guy), Philip Ko, and Lo Lieh.

[will91XingYu]

Lu Feng was mosyly a bad guy, so was Chang Shan. Chu Ko of the baby venoms was mostly a bad guy, his best performances were baddies in Masked Avengers and Secret Rivals 3.

[TibetanWhiteCrane]

Dick Wei.... but he actually had some good guy roles at Shaws...! But in the 80´s he was the 'go to' badguy!

[will91XingYu]

Xing Yu was a badass in Flashpoint! He's been a villain in Fatal Contact and in a bunch of tv stuff, and he's my personal fav on screen fighter so i had to put him in.:D

[Endsang]

Lee Hoi-San and Fung Hark-On.

[5 Element Boxer]

Oh yeah! I forgot about Lee Hoi-San. Good call.

[Iron_Jinon]

chang yi has been villain in numerous movies....his wizard hat and funny shoes in "eagles claw" and extremely coolness in "10 brothers of shaolin" made quite impact for me.

[quixote64]

Yen Shi Kwan and Wilson Tong

[Sifu]

Wilson Tong

He's definately up there, but not quite as much as some earlier ones mentioned!

[Bus]

has to be either… lo lieh, chen sing, dick wei, phillip ko, johnny wang, chia yung liu, chang yi, shun-yee yuen, hark-on fung, hwang jang lee, chiang tao, eddy ko, or lung fei

Yeah, I'm still with Jang Lee.

[Bus]

i think it'd be lo lieh he was in around 200 films and hwang was in like 60-70

[Morgoth Bauglir]

What about Ku Feng? hkcinemagic has him listed as being in 304 movies. But probably only half of those are bad guy roles. Later in his career he had a lot more good guy roles. Lo Lieh was a bad guy probably about 80% of the time. Hwang was a bad guy about 95% of the time.

Also Lung Fei. Like 90-95% of his movies he played a bad guy.

[Bus]

i'd say about 250 movies for ku feng, but he played a lot of good guy and bit roles like you said, but maybe i dunno.. it'd take somebody really taking a look at the roles of say ku feng and lo lieh because they worked on several movies at a time to see who holds the most villian roles.. if lo lieh wasn't sick for so many years and passed the way he did there's no telling how many movies he would've been in.. lung fei was probably in as many as hwang..

[ironfistedmonk]

HJL didn't make anywhere near as many movies as Lung Fei, this guy was a bad guy in virtually all of his movies and I can only think of 1 off the top of my head where he wasn't the villain (Dream Sword).

It's a toss up between Lo Lieh and Lung Fei for me at the minute, not including obscure stuntmen who played lackeys getting offed every week in a different movie

Lung Fei played a good guy in Born Invincible, and he was a good guy in One Armed Boxer:p:p;)

[Iron_Jinon]

I would put my money on Kao Fei...surely nobody has played baddie as many times as he:rolleyes:

[The Dragon]

C'mon, guys!... You're forgetting one of the most famous villians of all time... Shih Kien, Mr. Han man himself! Played villian to Kwan Tak Hing's Wong Fei Hung in so many films, and later in Shaw films, as well as indies...

:cool:

"Man, you come right out of a comic book!"

[Morgoth Bauglir]

Of course! I don't know how I could forget him. You don't even need to put the sunglasses smilie face on your post Dragon, we all know you are one cool mofo.

[Sifu]

"Man, you come right out of a comic book!"

Only good quote from that movie that wasn't Bruce himself :D

[ironfistedmonk]

Lung Fei played a good guy in Born Invincible, and he was a good guy in One Armed Boxer:p:p;)

It's been years since I've seen either film and I don't even remember him being in them!

[Morgoth Bauglir]

he only plays a small part in Born Invincible, and he plays one of the meanest villains ever in One Armed Boxer. You don't remember his fangs? Come on ironfistedmonk! :D

[ironfistedmonk]

I must be slipping mate, I only have vague recollections of One Armed Boxer, and that was of a bloke with one arm!!!!!!! lol

[Bus]

haha i loved shih kien, but he had a good bit of good guy roles as well, expecially in his later years.. i saw a few movies with him when he was younger and he could really move

[Morgoth Bauglir]

I must be slipping mate, I only have vague recollections of One Armed Boxer, and that was of a bloke with one arm!!!!!!! lol

Lung Fei is the reason he lost that arm, obviously! :p

[tinmann]

Hwang Jang Lee hands down and an awesome kicker too.

[Bus]

it'd be between the two me and morgoth were talkin about

[Morgoth Bauglir]

If you go by what percentage of their movies they were bad guys in, I would have to say Hwang or Lung Fei. Thinking about it more I think ironfistedmonk is right that it is Lung Fei just a tad over Hwang. Wang Lung Wei is also up there. At least 19 times out of 20 he was a bad guy. Boxer's Omen and Flash Future Kung Fu are the only movies that come to mind where he plays a good guy. And I saw a Godfrey Ho cut and paste movie where he had a small part as a good guy.

If you go only by the # of movies where they played a bad guy and don't worry about the percentage, then it is a really tough call. Some of these guys were in so many movies it is impossible to count them all.

[Bus]

i was going by the title of the thread.. it asks who was the bad guy the most not the percentage of times they played a bad guy versus the percentage they played a good guy

[Bus]

like lo lieh was in around 250 movies and he played a bad guy in atleast 150 and i'd even say it would be more and that's more movies then hwang was even in

[Sho]

Bolo Yeung

[Morgoth Bauglir]

If we were going by percentage Bolo is definitely up there. he was in countless old school flicks and I don't ever remember him playing a good guy. Only in modern day films has he taken good guy roles, at least from what I can remember.

[Bus]

was he a good guy in the movie bolo?

[Morgoth Bauglir]

Yep, you are right. I tried my hardest to block that movie out of my mind, so thanks a lot for bringing it up Bus!:p:p

[Bus]

haha i've done that a couple times lately.. atleast i didn't bring up black mask 2, or black eagle.. damn :)

[Virtual Scott]

Really, no question: Wang Lung Wei. He's been the bad guy in the majority of Shaw flicks... Lu Feng, though, as we all know, has played a villian in the majority of the Venoms flicks as well. Also, you can probably add Lo Lieh, Chan San, Wang Li, Chiang Tao and Tsai Hung to the list.

[Sifu]

Lo Lieh

He's definatley one of my top choices!
