- Godfrey Ho nasceu em 1948 em Hong Kong. É diretor e autor, conhecido pelo seu trabalho em The Ninja Squad (1986), Thunder of Gigantic Serpent (1988) e Thunder Ninja Kids: The Hunt for the Devil Boxer (1991).
- Cônjuge
- Frequently cast American and European actors
- He is considered a master of low-budget Hong Kong actioners. His work consisted mostly of Z-grade movies that were made with a "cut-and-paste" technique. First he shot his own footage with a Caucasian cast to appeal the Western market. Then he would take footage from movies from other Asian countries and combine them with his own material. With that procedure, he often had four or five rock bottom quality movies while having spent the budget of one.
- He effectively retired as a director in 2000, after 25 years of making genre films in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the Phillipines.
- Teaches film making at the Hong Kong Film Academy
- His films would become notorious in bad movie circles, garnering him the title of "the Ed Wood of Hong Kong".
- Richard Harrison credited Ho's rampant usage of his footage with his decision to quit acting, due to the damage done to his reputation.
- I used to be a movie maker. Now I am teaching people to make movies. It really makes me glad when my students are happily showing me their works. Only if you've been through the whole process, can you understand how satisfactory and delightful it is.
- [on Richard Harrison] Richard is good! A very good guy, a kind of gentleman.
- [on Mike Abbott] A kind of rude person. Because he's quite a strong guy and straightforward, western style. But no complaints for me.
- [on Jonathan Isgar] Kind of funny guy. I like him too but not too professional, he made movies for fun. Still, he was very cooperative.
- [on Pierre Tremblay] He's good. He's quite a guy with humor, a very nice guy, and he married a Chinese girl.
