Ricky Cheng and Li I-Min were two of the most talented yet underused actors. It did not help that Shaw Studios was limiting their output of martial arts films during the 80s and Golden Harvest had their own popular actors. If I'm not mistaken it was Ricky Cheng who found the dead body of Chiang Sheng.
