Adam Cheng

Hi guys,

I wonder why Adam Cheng did not shine at Shaw instead of the independent studios? What could have caused it...only Cat Vs. Rat? His performance in this movie is superb...don't you guys agree?

Cheers,

Topgun:rolleyes:

That is a good question Topgun. All of the stuff that Adam Cheng did with Lau Kar Leung was great. He really should have done more stuff at Shaw Brothers. He should have been in more movies period.

He was the shit in The Sword.

Hell yeah! That is one of the best kung fu movies ever and Adam Cheng is a total badass in it. That movie alone proves that he should have been in a lot more movies. Maybe his singing career was more important to him:confused:

The Sword rules. Totally, and completely. A film that is brilliant in every way possible.

This guy was amazing with a sword, I can't think of anyone better at wielding one. Most of these guys have more than one profession, loads of actors sing, loads of singers "act", maybe he preferred singing but I wish he had made more movies cos he is a don with a sword.

He was in Drunken Master 3 with Willie Chi and Andy Lau. I didn't know he was a great martial artist, he's mentioned on the hkl release of Knockabout with Yuen Biao. They have an interview with this guy that teaches monkey style and he said about how Adam Cheng is a great martial artist!

To capture Adam Cheng's top form with weapons, one must watch his tv series where he made household names in the last 4 decades among the Chinese communities across the world.

He is amazing with a fan and sword.

I found this old thread... those days I was thinking in open a space for Adam, but there it is... He is absolutely charming on screen (even not a super handsome man), very good trained actor, and I love him with fan, unique, unique, unique.

one of his best tv series is fate takes the hand

Thanks for post this video, is really beautiful.

In this character, looks incredible, he has a great scenic presence and as usual elegant, brave, with dominion of martial art... he reminds me, in this video, at glances, some movements typical of Jet Li, maybe I am wrong, just little movements like "flashes".

Elegance, Adam is elegance on screen.

I've found this fantastic video of Adam Cheng in concert... I guess one of the songs is from Chu Liu Hsiang theme.

Enjoy!
