The Taoist Priest of Doom! Watch out Ghosts here he comes!
Lam Ching Ying,
There can be only one! This guy is phenomonal! I love the way he plays the hard-assed Taoist Ghostbuster, even in modern settings! He makes it totally believable.
He was a friend of Bruce Lee and did the body double/stuntwork for Shek Kin in Enter the Dragon! Also if you look carefully at the scene with John Saxon betting on Jim Kelly, you will see a youthful Lam sitting next to them.
Unfortunately, we lost him over the weekend of November 8th, 1997 to liver cancer. He'll be among the Hell Cops for sure! Light him some incense and don't be afraid of the dark.
