The star of 'War of the Shaolin Temple'

[morgoth]

Who is this kid? What other movies is he in? It feels like I recognize him, but he may just be another mainland no name actor.

[dager in the cotton]

he was also n shaolin temple strikes back , he is a taiwanese guy

[morgoth]

That's right. Thanks Dager. It's almost like he plays the same character in both movies.

[morgoth]

Wow, this movie is really getting good all of a sudden. Is this drunken monk bartender the teacher from Seven Steps of Kung Fu?

This has to be the guy from Seven Steps, man he is awesome!

[Brigadier Chow]

Yes, thats Chia Kai, here are some other movies that showcased him:

Of Cooks and Kung Fu
Mars Villa
37 Plots of Kung Fu
Two Assassins of Darkness
Dance of Death

[morgoth]

Chia Kai is really good in Of Cooks and Kung Fu and Dance of Death. I will have to check out those other movies.

[Brigadier Chow]

37 Plots is kind of weak in terms of the stupid comedy it contains, but it one of the few movies that Chia Kai is the main villain.

[monk sante]

Let's not forget Chia Kai in "Shanghai 13". (good cameo)8)

[morgoth]

Is he in the casino fight? Maybe he does a snake fist?

[Jesse Smooth]

Chai Kai was also the main villian in the obscure TWO CRIPPLED HEROES. Complete with a cape.

[thundered mantis]

I´ve always been a huge fan of Chia Kai, but I have never seen Dance of Death. I think this movie was going to be re-released by Joy Sales or similar?

Anyway, Chia Kai also shines in Method Man, and has maybe the best fight on Two Champions from Shaolin. I think he can be seen in other Venoms films, usually as a second grade henchman (if I´m right, he is also in Daredevils)

[ironfistedmonk2003]

Chia Kai isn't in the Venoms films mate, I think you are confusing him with Yu Tai Ping the ratty looking mini venom who throws the knives in 2 Champions?

Chia Kai is class, also check out 7 Steps of KF, one of the best indie shapes films ever.

[Markgway]

The Mar's Villa was the first film where Chia Kai caught my attention.

He stole the show IIRC.

[Chia Ling AKA Judy Lee]

Mantis Under Falcon's Claws anyone? :D

I'm frankly a bit worried nobody has mentioned this classic...

[morgoth]

I have never heard anythign good about that movie but I will have to check it out sometime.

[morgoth]

Markgway- what is IIRC?

[thundered mantis]

I think you are confusing him with Yu Tai Ping the ratty looking mini venom who throws the knives in 2 Champions?

Mate, you´re absolutely right! :D I´ve checked the pictures in the hkcinemagic site and I had those two mixed together. I must be like the worst physionomist ever, ´cause years ago I also thought that Chung Fa and Dai Sai An were the same guy, until someone pointed me at the right direction! :lol

Well, at least both Chia Kai and Yu Tai are great on screen fighters!

[dager in the cotton]

re matis fists
yeah the Peter chen v Chia kai fight was wicked,
Chia Kai's best imo was Mehtod man when he battered the Majistrate.
for actin Mars villa he was great in that.
cook he did great forms.

[Chia Ling AKA Judy Lee]

I have never heard anythign good about that movie but I will have to check it out sometime.

There probably is a reason for that. I use classic in the loosest possible sense. The ending was absolutely hilarious though, I think the director realised what a terrible job he had done so far so spoofed his own film.

[Markgway]

Markgway- what is IIRC?

If I remember correctly...

[morgoth]

....

[morgoth]

IIRC

International Indoor Rolling Carting?
