Leung Siu-Lung

Leung Siu-Lung, born in 1948 in Hong Kong, is an actor who has appeared in many Hong Kong martial arts movies. He often appeared billed as "Bruce Leung," "Bruce Liang," "Bruce Leong," or "Bruce Leung Siu-Lung," and is thus generally grouped among the Bruce Lee clones that sprang up after Lee's death in the odd subgenre known as Bruceploitation. He is a skilled martial artist - he learned martial arts from his father at the Cantonese Opera.His major style is Goju Ryu Karate, he also is a Wing Chun Kung Fu prationer.

Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, he appeared in a large number of martial arts films. Most familiar to Western audiences may be Jim Kelley's ''The Tattoo Connection'' and Jackie Chan's ''Magnificent Bodyguards'', which was the first Hong Kong film shot in 3D. He is also known for playing Bruce Lee in the notorious Bruceploitation classic, ''The Dragon Lives Again''.

In addition, Leung appeared in his own star vehicles, including ''My Kung-Fu 12 Kicks'', ''Kung Fu: The Invisible Fist'', and ''Black Belt Karate''.

Leung retired from acting after 1988's ''Ghost Hospital''. However, in 2004, he made a triumphant return to the screen as The Beast in Stephen Chow's ''Kung Fu Hustle'' .

Supposedly, Leung defeated 13 armed attackers all by himself, although the validity of this statement is questionable.
