Chia-Liang Liu

Highest Rated: 85% Drunken Master II (1994)

Lowest Rated: 25% Seven Swords (2005)

Birthday: Aug 1, 1936

Birthplace: Guangzhou, Guangdong, China

Hailed as 'The Undisputed Martial Arts King' in Bey Logan's "Hong Kong Action Cinema," Lau Kar Leung is legendary among his filmmaking peers. Unfortunately, due to the Shaw Brothers' refusal to re-release their kung fu movies in Asia, his work is not very well-known to younger audiences. Over more than four decades, Lau has distinguished himself as, variously, an actor, martial arts choreographer and director. Contemporary HK audiences know him best for his work on "Drunken Master 2" (1994), in which he acted as well as directed. This film was Jackie Chan's first straight kung fu film in over a decade. Both aging auteurs had something to prove--and they did beyond anyone's wildest expectations. "Drunken Master 2" became the highest grossing kung fu film in recent history. Lau was back on the A-list of HK action directors.
