Chi Kuan-Chun was one of the top Shaw Brothers stars to have a
successful post-Shaws career in the 1970s. Chi began studying martial
arts at the age of 12 and after learning for nearly a decade, was
chosen to play a stuntman in a Hollywood film. Soon after, he became
one of the top talents for Shaw Brothers. Perhaps he was best known for
always allying himself with the late Alexander Fu Sheng in a series of
period pieces. After leaving Shaw Brothers, Chi went to Taiwan, where
he proved to be a top kung fu lead actor, with films like Showdown at
Cotton Mill. In the 1990s he retired from films but made a comeback as
the villain in the 2003 film Drunken Monkey, reuniting with Gordon Liu
and Kar-Leung Lau.
