Major experience
[edit]
Lau Kar-fai, born in Guangdong Province, China, was a popular kung fu movie star at Shaw Brothers between the late 1970s and the 1980s. Lau Ka Fai is only the godson of Lau Cham and is not related to Lau Cham's two sons, Lau Ka Leung and Lau Ka Wing. As Lau Cham was a disciple of the famous Hung Gar master Lam Sai Wing (under the tutelage of Wong Fei Hung), Lau Ka Fai received rigorous and orthodox martial arts training since he was a child, laying the foundation for his later success as a martial arts star.
Liu studied at Salesian Secondary School in Hong Kong (located in Shau Kei Wan, Chai Wan), in addition to martial arts, but also good music, and still with friends to form a band to entertain themselves. 1974 Liu entered the film industry, from the dragon and tiger masters of martial arts, martial arts instructor to start, 1976 by the brother of the righteous Lau Kar-leung, directed by the Luk Ah Choy and Wong Fei Hung is his first major works. But it was 1978's 36 Rooms of Shaolin that really made him famous. The movie was a huge success and was not only a top ten seller in Hong Kong that year, but was also well received abroad. His portrayal of Master San Te in the movie impressed audiences so much that San Te and Master Killer became synonymous with Gordon Liu in the minds of some foreign moviegoers, and made his bald head a registered trademark. In the dozens of Shaw Brothers films he made, he almost always played the role of a martial arts monk. In Japan, he was voted the most popular male foreign film star for many years.
When the kung fu movie craze faded and Shaw stopped making movies, Lau turned to TV dramas. With less help from Shaw's company, he was not as well known as he used to be, and gradually he could only play supporting roles or villains in TV dramas or movies.
He was invited by the famous director Quentin Tarantino to perform in the Kill Bill movie series, playing the role of Crazy 88's assassin Johnny Mo in the first episode, and White Eyebrows in the second episode.
Due to his clean-cut features and manly demeanor, Lau became the idol of many young girls. What's more, calling their rag dolls webbed bears is also a sign of preference for Liu Jiahui.
