Quotes I used to cry when I watched Chaplin`s films. It was from him that I learned about the role of the underdog. And because I`m also from a poor family, this kind of thing moved me and I found that it also worked for the audience because most of them are like me - ordinary guys. Right from the beginning of my work, I wanted to capture a mass audience. And I love the unusual: you never see dancing villains. For me, there`s a fine line between comedy and drama; so it`s not just played for laughs. There`s a little romance in this story, too - something for everybody. I thought martial arts were my great strength, but when I actually got involved in show-business, I realized I wasn`t the only one who could do these things. And compared to a lot of others, I wasn`t really that good. So I became a children`s TV program host. I`m not good at kung-fu at all. I have been learning, but obviously I am not an expert. The reason to do a remake is always because the idea is good but the quality is not up to standard. With Kung Fu Hustle the quality is already there. And it would be hard to do it in English because it is all about Chinese culture.Trivia Parents divorced when he was young. His parents couldn't afford kung fu lessons, therefore he taught himself from watching TV. Quentin Tarantino calls him "the best actor in Hong Kong.". Grew up in Hong Kong. A wing chun stylist, Chow began using it in combat scenes, starting with Fist of Fury 1991. His favorite director is Steven Spielberg. | ||
