Chung Fat
(Chung Fa)
Actor
Chung Fat is one of the many "regulars" of director Sammo Hung. He can be seen in films
as far back as 1973, when Bolo broke his back in the seminal Enter the Dragon. Chung
remained fist fodder for some years during the 70's, as an extra, fighter, or supporting actor in
kung fu films. Then in 1979, he was featured in Wong Yuen Sun's Crazy Partner as the main
villain, and highlighted in Sammo's The Magnificent Butcher as the far-out Cat Fighter-
shrieking, clawing and meowing his way into Hong Kong movie infamy.
The following year Chung Fat was cast in what would become his best known role- that of
the "good" sorceror in Sammo Hung's classic hopping vampire tale, Encounter of the
Spooky Kind. In 1981, Chung had a small appearance as The Devil himself in John Woo's
To Hell With the Devil, sporting fangs and white skin. The majority of the roles that Chung
Fat has portrayed have been bad guys, thugs, and henchmen. In this capacity, he has
fought onscreen with (among others) Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Yukari Oshima,
Cynthia Rothrock, Leung Kar Yan, Michelle Yeoh, Joyce Godenzi and Jet Li.
