Sammo Hung

If you have never seen Sammo Hung before, when you see him your first impression would be...Oh my God he is fat and out of shape and you couldn't be more wrong. This first impression thing Sammo used to his advantage to introduce his show Martial Law to a new audience. Sammo is in fact a very fit Martial Artist who uses his appearance and the first impressions law to his advantage in a lot of his work.

Sammo Hung is a Kung Fu film star, director and choreographer. He went to the same Opera school as the legendary Jackie Chan and together with Yuen Biao they are collectively known as the three brothers.

Sammo Hung has directed and/or starred in numerous Jackie Chan films, but he is a star in his own right. In this lens I will highlight some of his best work.

Three reasons to love Sammo Hung

He is a great actor.
He is a great director.
He is a great martial arts choreographer
