Powerman
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, thanks to his good friends and former classmates, Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan, he began working more frequently as an actor. After his co starring role in "The Dragon, the Odds" (1977) and his full lead role debut in "Knockabout" (1978), he starred in several films in the early 1980s, notably "The Prodigal Son" (1981) (directed by Sammo Hung) and "Dreadnaught" (1981) (directed by Yuen Woo-ping). He later co starred alongside his Peking Opera "brothers", Chan and Hung, in "Project A" (1983), "Wheels on Meals" (1984) and "Dragons Forever" (1988), and also appeared in smaller roles in films such as Hung's original "Lucky Stars" trilogy. He co-starred with Sammo in films such as "Eastern Condors" (1987) and "Millionaires Express" (1988). He played the lead with Cynthia Rothrock in "Righting Wrongs" (1986) and alongside Maggie Cheung in "The Iceman Cometh" (1989).
