Along with Lee Hoi San, Fung Hark-on is one of the ubiquitous heavies of Hong Kong martial art/stunt action cinema and with his devilish face, his treacherous ways and his habit of ogling and raping maidens on occasion, one of the meanest and most loathsome of all. But he was also a formidable on-screen fighter, a skilled action choreographer, and a sought-after collaborator for Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung. Fung is the son of famed character actor/director Fung Fung. He trained at the Peking Opera Academy of Madame Fan Fok-fa alongside the likes of the aforementioned Lee Hoi-shang, Lam Ching Ying, Meng Hoi and Mars. In his teen years he played a baddie in Cantonese films, then became a stuntman for the Shaw Brothers Studio working in Chang Cheh movies under the supervision of Shaw’s top action choreographer Lau Kar Leung.
