For example he's my least favorite parts of "Legendary Weapons of China" and "8 Diagram Pole Fighter". He annoyed the hell out of me in both films. And cat vs rat, those must be "top3". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member teako170 Posted May 10, 2020 Member Share Posted May 10, 2020 (edited) In the Fall of 1981, Alex and Jenny did a photo shoot for Cinemart magazine. Unlike Southern Screen and Hong Kong Movie News, Cinemart branched out beyond the Shaw Studios and reported on the Hong Kong film industry as a whole. This issue came out in November of that year. Alex had been recently working on The Fake Ghost Catchers 鬼畫符 (1982), which started back on May 21, 1981, and would soon commence work on Cat Vs. Rat 御貓三戲錦毛鼠 (1982), which began the day after Christmas '81. Edited May 10, 2020 by teako170 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Iron_Leopard Posted June 7, 2020 Member Share Posted June 7, 2020 Is it widely accepted that Fu Sheng had potential to become as big as a Jackie Chan or a Jet Li? Or would we never get a chance to find out regardless because he spent his prime at Shaw Brothers where he had a contract I'm sure. Let's say he never passed and after Shaws closed down he went on to do other films for other companies. Would it have been too late for him to blow up? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it have been too late for him to blow up? I don't think so, and I also think that he could have paired with Jackie in some martial comedies. He had more or less the same kind of humor and it could have worked very well between them. And for the martial qualities, he also could have paired with Jet Li in some good movies. He also could have shined in some independent movies with Lo Lieh, Wang Yu, Chia Ling... He was very talented and that's so sad that we'll never see that... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member sym8 Posted June 8, 2020 Member Share Posted June 8, 2020 I think he would have still become big.Although he stayed at S/B I think he was underused and did to many goofy kinda roles so when the studio closed he would have had many people court him to be in there films and he would have been able to branch out.It would have been interesting to see if people would try and make him a Kung fu king who could kick everybody’s ass or keep with the kind of roles he got at S/B.I always enjoyed him when he was a serious performer rather than the goofy kind, like what we get in Legendary Weapons of China,that was a waste of talent. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the early 90's in Chinatown, one of the video stores was playing LWOC & people was stopping to watch they were really really into the comedy, they even asked the store owner to rewind the scene where Fu Sheng fights Hsia Ho around the toilet. The folks were laughing their butts off and enjoying that scene - you can say that they were the target audience (and not us) & the movie did what it was supposed to do. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Cognoscente Posted May 9, 2021 Member Share Posted May 9, 2021 In Wong Jing's memoir, he said: "Alex was my friend. He was so handsome, I almost fell in love with him. He was funny and extremely lovely. He was a big boy. I haven't seen an actor of the same type since. If he didn't die, Shaw Brothers wouldn't have stopped making movies in 1986. He would have been the star of The Frog Prince and he would have been Jackie Chan's rival. His English was better because he temporarily lived in Hawaii. Also, he would have been seen as a combination of Andy Lau and Stephen Chow." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it was said that Chang Chan-peng, blamed Wong Yue even though Wong Yue was in the back seat. The car looked like a two seater. Then the news fluctuates from the elder brother being the driver, to Chang chan-peng being the driver. So confusing. According to Wong Jing's memoir, Wong Yue had survivor's guilt and his personality started to change. He became erratic. Fu Sheng's death was the beginning of Wong Yue's downward spiral. On a lighter note, Jing believes that Fu Sheng and Maggie Cheung would have made the cutest couple in Prince Charming. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wong Yue starred in a movie which dealt with the afterlife and also Alex’s death. Can’t recall title but it’s on my PC. Btw, what film is “The Frog Prince” that Wong Jing refers to? I was suppose to interview Wong but he was always busy on this or that project. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member teako170 Posted October 20, 2021 Member Share Posted October 20, 2021 Little photo I posted on FB. Alex with his recently deceased father, Cheung Yan-lung, who was a New Territories politician and businessman. Based on Alex's attire, I believe this photo is from 1973 or '74. In any event, Happy Birthday Fu Sheng. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member venomsreviews Posted May 4, 2022 Member Share Posted May 4, 2022 I tried to look through the whole thread before I shared this so I hope I didn’t miss anything. I remembered an interview I watched with Yu Tai-Ping where he talked about Fu Sheng. He shared a story about how mischievous he could be, but was still a kind person. He mentioned that sometimes Fu Sheng would run up to people, playfully hit them, and then run off. Yu Tai-Ping said that he’d always chase after Fu Sheng when he did it. It sounds like they had some entertaining moments on set! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I especially liked the shots of the Shaw-owned theater at the end! Is this the same theater in "The Killer Snakes" where Kam Kwok-leung waits for Maggie Li Lin-lin for a movie date? Maybe not, on second reflection. If anyone knows where the "TKS" theater was/is, please enlighten Brother Fang.... Happy 74th birthday to Maggie Li Lin-Lin! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
