When good people do bad things and vice versa...

Just because someone's a stellar martial artists, doesn't mean that they get the best scripts. The priority for many of them is having a job. Within that, they hope to show case their skills, but some have been more fortunate than others and it's not a reflection on their skill or lack of it. Yen has make some remarkably stupid movies in his early years and that's true for all of them. I am disappointed though that Biao hasn't been able to get better scripts to advance his career. He was one of Cynthia Rothrock's favorite people to work with because of his skills and fighting styles - it's a shame he's not more appreciated.

I'm disappointed with Biao's career as well. He's such an extremely talented guy, not just when it comes to the fighting, but I also felt he had great comedic qualities, so it's a damn shame he never really had GREAT movies to shine in. Sure, he had his Prodigal Son and some other great movies, but he never really broke through as a STAR, the likes of Jackie.

Perhaps some of Yuen Biao's best work is in those TV-series he has done, like Wing Chun and Real Kung Fu...!?

Sadly, I've only seen clips of those.
