All right, just 'bout time you get to know sth about the martial arts choreographer of your fav atv series!
Tony Ching Siu Tung
do we need an intro for this guy? he did the action for Reincarnated, Tai Chi Master, and Dynasty!

he's so cool, as a singer and a brilliant martial arts choreographer
Bruce leung
he did the fights for Green Dragon Conspiracy by himself, and Tiger hill Trail, Ma Wing Ching, The Fist (legendary fok's sequel)... with tsui siu ming!
Tsui Yi Ngau

Remember this dude? he's not only in reincarnated, he's also in da jia jie, fist of fury, and other atv series (can't think right top of my head yet), but he's one of the most brilliant choreographer i've ever seen. saw his masterpiece in Dragon Strike? that cup scene is the most-mind-blowing fight scene oif all times! also did fights for Young Wong Fei Hung (1980), Princess Cheung Ping, and tiger saber. after the filming of fist of fury, han yi sang sadly died in a car accident in 1995, at the age of 44. we will still have his works to appreciate.
Chan Siu Lung
i wish i could learn more about this guy.
from the credits of atv series, i see that he did some of the fights in Princess Cheung Ping and Tiger Saber; he, too, is brilliant but underused like Hon Yi Sang

here's he in a kung fu film http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFoL89H3fPI

Chan Siu Lung finished showing off mad skills and comes to talk to us at 1: 10
"Hey, everyone, I'm Ping Chung Hup Ying Luk's martial arts choreographer Chan Siu Lung. Ping Chung is written with a romantic, colorful atmosphere. I decided to use a carefree, flying type of fighting for this novel ... see if you think my fights match the book's descriptions... there's also great war massacres for exciting, atmospheric purposes.. hope you'll like the fights, and you could give me suggestions any time, thanks!"

he used to be a vice martial arts choreographer for some of atv's low-budget kung fu series in the late 1980s. sorry, i think he sucks.
