did a bit of researching today and i believe the actors name is Chiang Kam , you can see a bit more about his films on http://cine-hk.chez.tiscali.fr/Hkcine/SITE/ARTICLESJ_L/jackie-chan-cascadeurs/JC-stunt-portrait-chiang-kam.htm
slthough my french isnt any good i believe its the same guy. first i thought it might have been Sammo Hung but no credits for him anywhere for these two films,
hope this helps

that would be a major step down for sammo if it was, what an insult!

Actually it was Sammo-Hung, because if u go onto http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078252/ it will say Sammo Hung Kam-Bo, he appeared in Around the World in 80 Days, Snake in the Eagle's Shadow, Mr.Nice Guy, Jackie Chan is the Prisioner, Dragons Forever, Wheels on Meals and more.....
Those movies all included Jackie Chan and his old friend Sammo-Hung!

IMDb is wrong in this particular case. If you watch the movie, it lists Chiang Kam in this role. Also, check out http://simonyam.com/hkmw/actors/chiangkam/. If you compare pictures of Chiang Kam and Sammo Hung during that time period, you can clearly see that it is not Sammo (no scar on the lip is one good give-away).

Unfortunately, IMDb does make mistakes, but they do correct them when pointed out. A good example: they listed the beggar's role in "Kung Fu Hustle" as Yuen Wo Ping, but actually it was his brother Yuen Cheung Yan. The mistake was pointed out, and they have corrected it on the movie web site now.

I only realised today that i got mixed up it was Kam Chiang

Kam Chiang plays Sammo's bro in Magnificent Butcher

I've seen in him numerous films, but according to IMDB, which don't list his appearance in Magnificent Butcher, he's only appeared in four! Does anyone have a better biography for him, or perhaps know if he goes by another name instead?

reply

Sorry, I don't know much about him really, but yeah he plays Samo's bro in Magnificent Butcher and he is in SITES and Drunken Master... if you think his IMDB profile is messed up though check out the one for Leung Ka Yan *howls in pain*

reply

He's also in "Shaolin Wooden Men".

i saw an interview with him back in the day where he speaks on j cahn and co. He mentions that Sammo Hung rescued him from bullies and put him into few projects.

Bullshyt MR han-man!!

How you could've ever mixed this guy with Sammo Hung? They look nothing alike, except both being overweight.
