Founded in the 1970s, it initially included Hong Kong action stuntmen and martial artists, before expanding to include international talent over the next several decades.

This engendered a familiarity of one another's skills and abilities and it made sense for them to become a working team. Some of the members had received training at the Peking Opera schools, similar to Chan.

The organisation meant that the stuntmen not only received insurance coverage, but ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
