	Hwang Jang-Lee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hwang Jang-Lee quit acting in the early 1990s and returned in South Korea on Jeju, where at first he ran a golf-tee manufacturing company and hotel in Seoul.
		Hwang Jang-Lee (born December 13, 1944) is a Korean martial artist and film actor.
		Hwang began to take up taekwondo lessons at the age of 14.

	Body
		The one that is missing is where Hwang Jang Lee sneaks into the abbotts quarters and secretly watches a kung fu lesson.
		Despite the lack of a widescreen remastered version of the film, if you're a Hwang Jang Lee fan and enjoyed this film the first time round then this is an essential disk.
		Hwang Jan Lee appears as the hero for once in a movie that gives him the chance to display his full kicking repertoire.

	Hwang Jang-lee
		Biography: Although Hwang Jang Lee is Korean by birth, he was actually born in the outskirts of Osaka, Japan.
		Hwang relocated to Taiwan and in 1978 he appeared in the ground-breaking movies Snake in the Eagle's Shadow and Drunken Master, directed by legendary choreographer Yuen Wo Ping and also starring Jackie Chan and Simon Yuen (Yuen Siu Tien).
		Hwang studied Taekwondo and boxing from an early age against his parents will and during the 70's acted as martial arts trainer to Korean troops stationed in Vietnam.

	Game of Death 2
		The flashbacks at the end of Lee practicing his Jeet Kune Do are longer and so is the Tang Lung and Hwang Jang Lee fight, with more acrobatics from Yuen Biao and Yuen Wah.
		The scenes included in "TOWER OF DEATH" and missing in "GAME OF DEATH 2" are Lee looking in different rooms and his garden, more scenes with Jang Lee daughter, and an alternate fights in almost half of the film.
		The drawback here is that Lee's actual yells are not dubbed in, but the soundtrack is edited in the correct scenes, a problem the HK version has.

	Tower of Death
		Bruce Lee is one of the world's top fighters, but is killed under strange circumstances while attending his friend's (Hwang Jang Lee) funeral.
		Lee's footage in the film consists of outtakes from Game of Death (which was only partially completed by Lee before his demise) and the rest is filled in by Tang Lung, which presents some problems as Tang has a longer haircut than Lee and is also a bit bigger than him.
		Bruce Lee fanatics often hate this movie, but if you can look beyond the obvious cheesiness of using a dead man to headline a film, there's some good stuff to be found in here.

	5 Pattern Dragon Claws review
		Hwang Jang Lee gives another superb performance that sees him throw all manner of kicking combinations that compares rather well with some of his best appearances.
		This is fairly run of the mill stuff with an evil kung fu master (Hwang Jang Lee) attempting to steal the martial arts secrets of a rival school.
		Dragon Lee is left for dead after an early encounter with Hwang but is rescued by his former teacher who helps him to brush up his technique.

	Martial Arts Planet - Best Screen Kicker? Wang Jang Lee, etc
		Hwang Jang Lee is the king, as for Bruce his screen fights were quite poor in comparison to todays standards.
		Probably overall Hwang Jang Lee was the better kicker, in terms of jump kicks etc. But Tan was still awesome and better than Hwang at multiople kicks with same leg without touching foot down.
		Gotta be Hwang Jang Lee for me and also Ken Lo as in Drunken Master 2.

	Young Hero DVD dir.: John Law Ma cast: Hwang Jang Lee, Kwan Yung Moon, Tino Wong Cheung, Chan Lau, Chiang Kam, Lee Chun Wa, Yuen Miu, Wang Sha, Gam Gwan, Wang Han Chen, Yuen Chu, Chan Ling Wai
		Hwang Jang Lee is the leader of a local band of Japanese thugs whose only obstacle is Master Lok and his sons, in particular Lok's fourth son, whose kung fu skills surpass his brothers, and who decides to stop Lee.
		Hwang Jang Lee is the leader of a local band of Japanese thugs whose only obstacle is Master Lok and his sons, in particular Loks fourth son who secretly practices Kung Fu.
		Hwang Jang Lee, best known as The Silver Fox from Secret Rivals, is up to his old high kicking games in this tale of revenge and counter revenge.

	SECRET RIVALS
		Jackie Chan has stated many times that Hwang Jang Lee was the greatest fighter he has ever seen, and I don't think many people would argue with that.
		Hwang was an incredible bad guy through the 70s and 80s and made even the worst martial arts films worth watching with his presence.
		Bruce Lee was dead and the industry tried hard to fill his shoes.

	Martial Monks of Shaolin Temple review
		The killer is, of course, Hwang Jang Lee; the head of the Wu Dong clan (although there's no swordfighting in this film, its strictly hands and feet - and some nunchuks).
		Despite an obvious lack of funds there are some genuinely impressive fight scenes and Hwang Jang Lee's appearance usually raises the standard.
		Dragon Lee plays down the 'Bruce-isms' for the most part and fights in traditional old school style.

	Hwang Jang Lee
		Hwang's stardom came when he was approached by producer Ng See Yuen to play "Silver Fox" in the classic "Secret Rivals".
		The fight lasted 30 seconds as he executed a round kick to the challengers head leading to his immediate death.
		Now retired from filmmaking he runs a hotel and golf tee manufacturing firm.

	Secret Rivals
		Hwang Jang Lee only shows-up in the second half, he looks a bit silly with his fake wig and beard but he too is great to watch.
		None of these players however ever quite reached the cult popularity of Hwang Jang Lee whose film career went higher and lasted a bit longer than anyone else playing mostly superbly mean and cool bad-ass villains.
		The film's best scene is the pair of them doing warm-up exercises before a friendly bout together, (a scene obviously borrowed from Bruce Lee’s WAY OF THE DRAGON) which allows them to display their superb and sharp physicality.

	Shaolin Chamber-Reviews
		There is one scene in particular where we see Hwang Jang Lee's character along with one of his henchman, playing what looks like a game of chess, with real live young woman as the chess pieces.
		Hwang Jang Lee as the evil villain definitely had the standout performance in this movie.
		Hwang Jang Lee fans, "Shaolin vs." plot fans, well just about any kung fu movie fan would enjoy this movie...

	Hong Kong Cinema - Snake in the Eagle's Shadow
		Hwang Jang Lee - the greatest kicker in Kung Fu - plays Lord Sheng Kuan(Eagle Claw master) and who is eager to destroy the Snake Fist fighters.
		After this film, a new heir to the King of Kung Fu was born - a seat vacant since Bruce Lee's unfortunate death in 1973.
		I think this fight is just slightly eclipsed by Jackie's next movie when he takes on HJL in Drunken Master, but this is not far off, and really showcases Yuen Woo Ping's talent as an action (and comedy) director.

	vhs video: buddha
		Hwang Jang Lee is by far the greatest leg fighter in the history of Martial Arts Movies.
		In this gritty action/thriller, two brothers battle forces between good and evil and must choose their destinies before it's too late.

	Dragon's Claws
		Supervillain Hwang Jang Lee is also given a villainous character who promises to be a lot less evil than is usually the case.
		With his ailing fitness working against him, the master is then issued a challenge for the plate by his wife's brother Ling Ko Feng (Hwang Jang-Lee) who has recently returned from Manchuria.
		Having said this, Joseph Kuo is still a film-maker who deserves the respect of his audience as he has contributed so much to the genre - while 'Dragon's Claws' isn't one of these achievements it is at least an entertaining piece.

	MAGTHKF
		Hwang Jang Lee in his prime, doing his usual kicks, plus drunken style, and drunken mantis.The hero (one of the lesser known Yuen brothers) is very acrobatic and quick.
		They are Lee Koon Hung (the late choy li fut sifu), Chan Sau Ching (monkey), Chiu Chi Ling (hung gar; has appeared in a number of old films as a musclebound buffoon) and Lam Man Wai (a wing chun practitioner who won some boxing tournaments in HK).
		Lee's style is indescribable (acting and silly mannerisms annoyingly similar to Jackie Chan's, maybe intentionally).

	MAGTHKF
		Hwang Jang Lee, as usual, dominates everyone with his claws and kicks, only to lose in the end by a trick.
		Hwang Jang Lee explodes into the film as a Japanese villain, and kicks Bruce Li into oblivion, but of course, loses to "Bruce Lee tricks".
		Hwang Jang Lee is a Japanese villain who brutalizes meek Taiwanese workers.

	Martial Arts Planet Archive - Hwang Jang Lee
		Drunken Master and snake in the eagles shadow are the only two films I'vs seen starring Hwang Jang Lee, and they are both equally as good I think, I really cant compare the two, there's a pretty good bio here of the kicker.
		Hwang jang Lee....what can i say...this guy is mad fighter.
		remember in the hitman in the hand of buddha, where hwang fights that bloke with the chopsticks and like beats one of his hands down with the chopstick and then throws both of them at the bloke's vital parts of the body.

	Eagle vs. Silver Fox (1982)
		Of course, the real selling feature is the presence of Hwang Jang Lee and he's just not used effectively for the most part.
		An opening fight between Jang Lee and a messenger is one of the best in the film and features at least one incredible piece of legwork by Jang Lee that will leave you rewinding to see it again.
		As a character though, Jang Lee is a disappointing villain compared to his better roles, such as in Snake in the Eagle's Shadow (1978).

	High Impact Reviews: Hard Bastard (1982)
		This kung fu film is not a composite like the later Joseph Lai films and this shows Hwang Jang-Lee once again playing the hero, his second time in the lead role.
		Three locals, Wang (Hwang Jang-Lee), Sam (Jacky Lee), and May (Pearl Chi) are trying to successful sell medicine at a local town.
		Some of the fight scenes tended to sag but Hwang can't show his trademark kicks in every single fight scene, but saves the best for last, as he takes on more than 15 men.

	Hong Kong Cinema - Drunken Master (1978) - Jackie Chan
		However this becomes unbearable and he escapes, only to be confronted by the assassin Thunderfoot (Hwang Jang Lee) who humiliates him in a fight and ridicules his fathers kung-fu style.
		In contrast, HJL plays the villain like no other, from the outset his evil intentions are made clear and we want him to be usurped.
		The extras include a HJL kicking showcase, text interview with Ng See Yuen and a deleted scene.

	[KFCC] 5 Pattern Dragon Claw
		Sure, the generous scenes of martial arts occasionally impress, especially some of the perfectly executed kicks, but this is an ultimately forgettable movie, which even Hwang Jang Lee cannot save, as his talents are tragically under used.

	Game Of Death 2
		As in every other film, Jang Lee is a joy to watch with near perfect MA execution and his typical evil laugh, and Roy Horan is excellent too with a bigger part than the earlier 'Snake In The Eagle’s Shadow'.
		Alas, this is no Lee flick, nor does it provide much in the way of new footage except for the odd deleted scene from other films.
		Some of you may remember him as the ghost of Bruce Lee from Yuen Kwai's 'No Retreat, No Surrender' and if it wasn't for being typecast as a Bruce Lee clone (real bad luck!) he would undoubtedly have been a bigger star.

	Liu mang ying xiong (1986)
		Hwang Jang lee was in his prime until the late 90, when he went back to Korea to officially retire and do a few movies there.
		Innocent interloper is a movie made late in Hwang Jang Lee, and he gets better, powerful, and faster with age.
		This movie was directed by famous Shaw character villain, Wang Lung Wei, which Wang is reunited with Hwang Jang Lee and Wang lung Wei from Kid from Kwangtung(1982).

	Dragon Claws
		Not to be confused with Joseph Kuo's DRAGON'S CLAWS (which also starred Hwang Jang Lee), this Dragon Lee vehicle is exactly what you would expect from the prolific team behind such films as CHAMP VS. CHAMP and BRUCE LEE'S WAYS OF KUNG FU.
		I would say the last 15 minutes of this film is non-stop with Hwang Jang Lee taking on Dragon Lee and his master.
		The film's true star is Hwang Jang Lee as the villain.
