I used to have a big crush on Sammo Hung since the 80s. My favourite movie was and still is Painted Faces. Now he looks like a huggable bear.

[@Poobtato]

The man the myth the legend

[@jandreidrn]

Love Sammo Hung's fight with the late great Shaw Bros. legend Lau Kar-Leung in Pedicab Driver.

[@johnnyexplorestheworld4729]

A legend! Respect!!

[@MrEL28]

I've seen local reports of Sammo Hung and family enjoying BahKutTeh in SG.

[@renishii6834]

I thought Sammo only speaks cantonese because all of his movies ( with mostly HK actors) I saw was dubbed in English. ✌️❤️. Lifelong fan here.

[@davidwee130]

Good for you

[@MrEL28]

Most HK actors and singers can speak Mandarin these days.

[@leedonghae435]

He’s not of Cantonese (廣東） origin but zhejiang (another southern province), and he spoke mandarin mostly in the early films.

This comment goes out directly to the king here! " I just discovered you this year and since I have purchased and marathoned as many of your films that I've been able to get my hands on. The releases of your old flicks have truly shown your skills heart and humor in such an amazing beautiful way! I wish you good health and happy life. Please keep up the restoration and work you have done to preserve your past work! I truly am so so so happy to be able to watch and enjoy everything I've seen of your work. ❤❤❤❤❤

I find it a privilege to see the actors and actresses i know and like to be able to age and live a happy life in the next chapter of their lives. People will age no matter what. No one can stop it. People who are still too young to have witness the ageing effect on themselves and other people as well as shallow people who see ageing as a sin are the problem the world and society are facing not the aged people themselves. Unless you die young or is immortal don't go sending ill will to others that will only come back to you in the end. This part of his interview regarding his reply to people who criticize actors for ageing is worth watching and bear in mind. I don't have issue with actors/actresses who have aged. I am only a bit heavy seeing how many in the entertainment industry have left this world already. Thanks for the memories and great showing in life to all of you.

Saw him fliming his US TV series in Torrance CA almost 30 years ago. He has gottne old.

[@ashleylane180]

Best action director there ever was in my opinion. Jackie Chan is great, Sammo is beyond great. Been a fan for 30 years, the nineties HK movies were sensational. IF only they had the camera technology of today with the sheer brilliance and rawness of the nineties directing style, who knows what could have been done. Have always dreamt of meeting Sammo for a beer one day.,,

[@MrKevinliow88]

Welcome to Singapore!

[@slanidjordje]

He, Jackie Chan and Yuen Biao, forever the best! Dragons forever!!!

[@VulcanSpock]

原则来讲 is not "morally speaking" in the context of his interview. It should be 'In principle' or something similar. I venture to guess CNA uses some sort of AI translator. Whether human or AI doing the translation, need check thoroughly and produce quality work that befits a media organisation. If it is AI output, still need to check thoroughly.

[@apraew20]

3:41 🤣

[@kliq85]

He worked with Bruce lee before.

[@SivalinPuthery]

No idea who he is

[@pringlessourcream9527]

He is a contemporary of Jacky Chan.
