Hon
Kwok Choi
(Han Kwok Choi, Hon Kwok Tsui, Han Kuo Tsai)
Actor
Though his scrawny build might not suggest it, Hon Kwok Choi was among kung fu
cinema's best acrobatic performers. He specialized in sidekick and freak roles, usually
either comic or tragic characters in kung fu and crime films of the 1970's.
Though most of these roles were supporting, he did have bigger parts in kung fu films such
as Budo Wing, The Four Invincibles, and Ten Tigers of Shaolin. Yet Hon Kwok Choi
also got to star in Shaw Brothers comedies such as Crazy Imposters, Double Cross and
The Reckless Cricket.
Hon is also visible in The Chinese Connection, in which Bruce Lee's nunchaku nearly took
off his kneecaps, and played Jackie Chan's pal in Chan's first starring role, The Little Tiger
of Canton. As 'Squealie' in the Aces Go Places films, he was Sylvia Chang's informer (and
punching bag). In 2003, Hon Kwok Choi guest starred as a wall crawling thief and fought
with Andy Lau in Running on Karma. As skilled as he is physically, Hon Kwok Choi will
always be best known for comedy.
