Director/Screenwriter/Actor - Chor Yuen In the west, perhaps he was best known for his villainous turn in Jackie Chan's "Police Story". However, especially during the 70s through the early 80s, he was one of Hong Kong's top martial arts movie director at Shaw Brothers Studios. Perhaps you may have seen one of his martial arts movies on "Kung Fu Theater"? Yuen Chor - IMDb While he was known for his martial arts movies, he put Cantonese language movies on the map with the 1973 comedy "The House of 72 Tenants". He received the Hong Kong Film Award's Lifetime Achievement Award in 2018 and was one of the inaugural inductees of HK's Avenue of Stars. I have mentioned previously on this site that Chor Yuen was my uncle. Tonight, I will have to make a condolences call to my aunt. Have been meaning to visit them the last couple of years, but COVID-19 happened.

How strange. I recently discovered On The Buses and have been regularly watching the show and movies on Youtube. I thought Anna Karen was particularly good. Very sad news.
My first exposure to him was on the Smother Brothers Show. I was surprised to hear of his passing. He deserved to be more well known.
