Member sym8 Posted July 22, 2019 Member Share Posted July 22, 2019 Can never understand why he only made a handful of Kung fu movies.For me they are all classics of the genre.He had great shapes coupled with power and speed,and although he is not classed as a super kicker,his kicks where great too👍👍 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member CT KID Posted July 22, 2019 Member Share Posted July 22, 2019 Billy Chong was a super kicker and so was Carl Scott, especially going by their kicking in Sun Dragon. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member ShawAngela Posted January 2, 2020 Member Share Posted January 2, 2020 In one of the many dvds I recently watched, there was an interview with Billy Chong. He was very simple in it, not putting his ego at a peak, and he still had this charming smile that must have charmed a lot of women in his career... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Mike Leeder Posted February 19, 2020 Member Share Posted February 19, 2020 Billy/Willy did a ton of TV series in Indonesia and can't help with the titles I'm afraid I worked with him on the pilot for Dara Dai Cinta/Love & Blood which was produced and directed by my late godfather Alip Sak/Alip Santosa , we shot the original pilot where Billy comes to Hong Kong to take care of various bad guys including a young skinny me The show got greenlit and then Billy decided he should be in charge and left to do his own show, so he left and the show was retooled with Ari Wiboro as the lead, and then after his show didnt work Billy came back to appear in a couple of episodes at the end of the first season, where he is a retired assassin and his memories of his final mission are flashbacks to him killing me etc Billy did a bunch of TV shows and movies in Indonesia, he was part of the ill-fated GARUDA 7 projects but not sure what he's doing these days 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member ShawAngela Posted May 20, 2020 Member Share Posted May 20, 2020 During his time in Hong Kong, he became known as Billy Chong Chuen-Lei. On 5/3/2017 at 5:18 PM, AlbertV said: Born Willy Dozan in Magelang, Indonesia on February 10, 1957 Well, I quoted also this, but it didn't appear, and by copying-pasting, it appears at the beginning of my post...Oh, well... That's strange, because Wikipedia says on the contrary that he was born Chuang Chuen Lei (and I don't remember where I read that he is of Chinese descent, which would fits with this Chinese name) and that he changed his name to Willy Dozan... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DragonClaws Posted May 21, 2020 Member Share Posted May 21, 2020 Billy Chong, Indonesian martial artist with Crystal Fist (Budomate-Magazine) Quote Born as Chuang Chen Li (Chong Chuen-Lei) in Magelang, Indonesia on February 10, 1957 he started his acting career in 1977 in a local movie named Pembalasan Si Pitung.

Member ShawAngela Posted May 21, 2020 Member Share Posted May 21, 2020 Thanks to confirm, @DragonClaws, I was not convinced that Willy Dozan was his real name. And I'm not surprised that his son uses the same family name. It's like here in France with Johnny Halliday's son, whose real name was Jean-Philippe Smet and his son David uses the name David Halliday, instead of his real name... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShawAngela Posted August 9, 2020 Member Share Posted August 9, 2020 Reading several comments about various movies in other posts, I noticed that some members say that Billy Chong was a Jackie Chan's clone. Is it just their opinion, or are there any traces of directors or producers saying that they casted him precisely to be Jackie's clone? Personally, I don' t see in which way he might be Jackie's clone : they don't fight the same way, they don't do comedy the same way, Billy seems to kick more often and with more power... I suddenly have the strange feeling that I'm going to have enemies among Jackie's fans...😂🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, I agree... he sort of had his own vibe, but still. It's not so much that he was a "Jackie clone" in the way the Bruce Lee clones were, but after the success of DM and SITES, the producers were scrambling to find any star that sort of resembled a JC type character to star in similar Kung Fu comedy fare... Billy Chong was definitely among them. John Cheung, Lee Yi Min, Jackie Chen Shao Lung, Charles Heung, Ricky Cheng Tien Chi, Ng Kwan Lung and so on all got a shot. And most of them did great and brought something of their own to the table, but let's not b blind to what was going on in the business at that time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShawAngela Posted August 9, 2020 Member Share Posted August 9, 2020 Crystal fist is the only movie of his I never watched (I don' t count Aces go place V)... I never noticed John Chang, Li Yi Min or Charles Heung playing "à la Jackie" either, but I haven't watched all of their movies. Thanks for the explanations. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted August 9, 2020 Member Share Posted August 9, 2020 John Cheung in Snake in the Monkey's Shadow, Lee Yi Min in Mystery of Chess Boxing and Charles Heung in Goose Boxer are good and obvious examples. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted August 9, 2020 Member Share Posted August 9, 2020 And just so we're clear, it's not like JC invented the mischievious student character type... it was sen throughout the 70's. Though he most likely "lifted" it from Fu Sheng. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
