My Take

David Chiang is a name that lights up anyone who grew up on Shaw Brothers cinema. As one of the studio's signature martial-arts stars of the 1970s, he brought a slim, almost melancholy intensity that set him apart from the brawnier heroes of the era. More than 130 films and 30 television series is a staggering body of work, and the fact that he moved into directing and producing shows real longevity rather than a fleeting moment of fame. Born in Shanghai in 1947 and forever tied to Hong Kong, he's a living bridge to a golden age. I'd put his collaborations among the genre's essential viewing.
