I got inspired to do jumping triple front kicks from this cat. In the 90's I was in my 20's trying all kinds of trick kicks on most of my sparring buddies.
true. why do they suck now? I guess there are some good modern martial arts movies, but not that many. Ong Bak, The Protector, the raid, some parts of John Wick (not really an MA movie tho). The show Warrior had some good martial arts too.
@@thevillageyid i think its because back then, A)they used to show the fight scenes continusly from one camera and not frame by frame with the use of many cameras(im sorry if you dont understand what i mean) and B)because back then the bad guys at the ending fight scenes were very good at martial arts(even the thugs)and they had good stunt teams.
@@thevillageyid just for examle 3 of the most bad ass bad guys and thugs in movies(billy chow,yuen wah,dick wei)all 3 were very tough opponents to the good guys of the movies.and they are only 3 of the many.
Of course everyone's talking about how Yuen Baio is underrated, but I think the actual reason why is all image. Jackie and Sammo have iconic looks and personas, whereas Yuen is kind of like a utility player, he can play whatever. He can be the cheery friend, the stuck up officer, the unbalanced criminal. When you're an actor who can disappear into a part, there's always the risk the audience won't notice you. I think he's the best fighter of The Three Brothers, but those films are so crammed with incredibly choreography just how good he is can get lost in the spectacle, particularly when, like the very best do, he makes it look so effortless.
Yeun Biao...my favourite among the 7 of the original Beijing opera brothers. Thanks for featuring him. For far too long he has been hiding behind Sammo and Jackie.
The crazy thing is modern video clips of less physically impressive feats hit up hundred of thousands of not millions of views whilst this feat back taking place in the 80s or 70s is arguably much more breathtaking as fitness and martial arts for the most part was not yet mainstream
I first saw Yuen Biao in “Dragons Forever” and became hooked on him after watching Knockabout. Turns out Yuen Biao was the acrobatic stunt double in Game of Death 2, Prodigal Son, and many other action films performing all the stunts, many flashy kicks and aerial flips that the lead martial arts actors could not do. Yuen’s agility, flexibility are amazing and his kung fu skill is spectacular! Love this guy! He’s highly underrated in martial arts action film. Not given enough credit but is a force to be reckoned with along side Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung. Yuen is a supreme kicker up there with Donnie Yen , Tan Tao Ling (Dorian Tan) and I’d pitt him against Hwang Jang Lee even.
I totally agree.Man werry impressive speeach about martial arts and kung fu legends.I have a passion for all of does guys cause they are so extremely good.Ken Lo is also Another great kicker that was Jackies body guard.He is well rounded in both taekwondo and kickboxing.His kicks in both drunken master 2 and the Jackie Chan Movie thunderbolt is Amazing.Jacky wu jing is also Another great performer.He did train at the same wushu school as jet li.You should check out the Movie fatal Contact with wu jing.great fights.
The rope skipping scene was really impressive. I'm a big fan of Jacky Chan so I've seen plenty of Yuen Biao, but now I need to find more with this guy. Good video.
Many of his scenes in once upon a time was cut out so he didnt stole the show from jet li. Werry underrated in The West but just as big as Jackie and sammo in the east.
And he played Foon who wasn't supposed to be a good fighter. I wouldn't be surprised if he did double Jet Li in some of the acrobatic stuff and the fact that Jet Li also got injured in the making of that film.
The jumping rope scene was one of the most impressive to me. Maybe one reason he didn't take off as much as the other two was that he didn't look quite as tough with his a smaller frame? I think if there were more scenes and roles showing off his unique abilities he could have shone a bit more. I loved him in Wheels on Meals, Dragons Forever, and Project A Part 1.
My favourite yuen biao movie is the prodigal son , not only showcases his martial arts ability but also his comedic acting as well....coupled with sammo hung ....
beautiful tribute! yuen biao's the best! tribute obviously lovingly made, and we watched with joy with some enthusiastic five year olds, one who said "wow, he's extra cooool!"
Yes ! ! ! I remember Him now - Yuen Biao This Hero his Kung Fu is Real Not Fake. RESPECT, RESPECT, RESPECT. Real Chinese Kung Fu Fighter Everything about him is REAL.
Yuen's physical capabilities were even better than Jackie's IMO. He had SO much potential, i wonder why he didn't really succeed. Politics or something?
Jackie and Sammo are not just great action stars, they are also good directors, writers, producers. Jackie is also a great director of photography(see The Miracle), and Sammo have done several drama films which have nothing to do with martial arts. Those drama films, which foreign audiences know little about, have proved that he is also an amazing actors. But most of what Yuen does is doing action, comedy and fighting choreography. So in a way, he has the least "potential" among those three.
Yuen Biao is definitely most agile but that's about it. Jackie had better explosiveness and executed fight moves more cleanly, he just had better physical charisma.
@Kurapika Giovanna He got lucky? really dude? Jackie almost died while doing Armor of Gods stunt. He was the most risk taker of the 3 dragons. Not lucky. lol
GREW UP ON THE 4 GREATS, BRUCE LEE, AND THEY WERE THE BEST TRIO TOGETHER IN THE MOVIES I GREW UP WATCHING, JACKIE CHAN, SAMMO HUNG AND YUEN BIAO, UNSURPASSED...
So much meta on that scene with the jump rope: that level of acrobatics would be enough from someone else, but from Yuen Biao Sammo Hung could ask much more as a director.
Ran upstairs to show my kid on the skipping bit "here look here's your old man skipping look!" Haha. Didn't see the bit when he was holding his foot and jumping over it whilst still jumping the rope. "Holy Shit!! Look at that!!" Haha. Typical teenager...."yeah I've seen loads of people do that!" Grrr....bloody kids! Love all the three brothers. Fantastic masters of their craft
Yuen Biao's most badass moment is at the beginning of Millionaire's Express where he jumps from the top of a two stories building which is set on fire, lands on the ground, stands up, walks to a bunch other guys, and start a conversation. ALL in one take! Big deal.
Yuen is considered to be the best aerial acrobatic martial artist ever. No one can dispute that. His big brothers Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung have said that time and time again. Undisputed. List the movies next time in the tribute
In my opinion, he is most agile than Jackie, just the level up. But Jackie is more crazy, so all of his stunts are incredible. I love the 3 dragons, they are awesome.
Yuen biao the prodical son was the first of his i ever saw ,i think yeun, jackie and sammo made some of the best martial arts movies and worked great as a 3 some like meals on wheels
thank you for uploading this 😘 I am a new fan of Yuen 😍 I first saw him in dragons forever. I was just plannng to watch old jackie chan movies but I ended up falling to Yuen Biao 😍❤️
Without a doubt out of the three Biao is the more acrobatic while Chan is more agile and Hung packs more power. I'd rather get kick in the face by Chan or Biao than Hung.
He was really awesome to watch. I was also baffled as to why he didn't continue making more movies. He was in very good movies Millionaires Express, Prodigal Son, etc., he even made bunch of movies with big stars like Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung, so it is a bit puzzling and sad.
This is a really Great Tribute to Yuen Biao!! I know that he was the 3rd Musketeer out of the trio with Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung. Them 3 were closest of friends and i know this. It's to bad that he was not able to get as much fame as the other 2., but i love the Tribute. :-)
Thank you.I agree but maby that was for the best.I rather watch a hong kong action movie with him that has good acting with amazing fight scenes and a great director like Corey Yuen,Yuen Woo ping ,Sammo Hung,Stanley Tong or Stephen Chow then to watch a crappy,overrated hollywood movie like rush hour that have horrible fight scenes.Jackie hates does movies cause they dont let him be free and he are always a Sidekick.They should listening to the legend himself not the other way around.
@@elvisjimpa100 Yeah,... i know. Jackie has had a bad time in American Movies, cause they don't respect his years of knowledge and don't let him intervene and that frustrates him, cause they don't respect the skills. Sammo being nearly 9 years older than Yuen and Jackie is why they always call him big brother and pretty much just listen to whatever Sammo says...lol I still wish i could hang out with those guys for a day, still til this day. :)
It not fair to compare them,Yuen biao learned martial arts and gymnastics in the same school that sammo hung did. Jackie chan is the f Kung Fu master...chan the man..now Yuen biao,is one of my favorite,for me it is the four dragons of china Jackie chang Donnie yen Yuen biao and sammo hung.❤
Jacky was an all rounder in the movies but mostly was known for his stunts.Hwang Jang Lee should join the list a great fast skilled kicker and a real fighter and multiple world champion.
Yuen Biao is so underrated yet he is one of those great martial artists in the film industry.
Only famous in Asia but not as internationally acclaimed as Jackie
Yeah he is, but he is swifter & faster in my opinion
Damn I’m just finding out about him. What an artist seriously hella agility 💪🏾
I got inspired to do jumping triple front kicks from this cat. In the 90's I was in my 20's trying all kinds of trick kicks on most of my sparring buddies.
Hé was campus ij greece all bis movies where selling like crazy in vhs
One of the most (if not THE most) acrobatic martial artists ever. Extremely underrated.
Truly underrated but a true fan sees his greatness
Agree.Yuen is Amazing.
Not by me is he under rated him Sammo and Chan were my idols growing up DRAGONS FOREVER!
@@Vasonviper I don’t understand what you’re saying.
@@AdamRee-lx8uhhe means movies like "meal on wheels" and others. The dragons made many movies together.
He has perfect, and I mean, perfect form.
Back when martial arts movies were really good.
true. why do they suck now? I guess there are some good modern martial arts movies, but not that many. Ong Bak, The Protector, the raid, some parts of John Wick (not really an MA movie tho). The show Warrior had some good martial arts too.

That was a great comment.I think it can be the same with bands and musicians.You need to have the right connections and be popular and such.
Yeun Biao...my favourite among the 7 of the original Beijing opera brothers.
Thanks for featuring him.
For far too long he has been hiding behind Sammo and Jackie.
Nagyszerű színész. Imadom minden filmjét, amit eddig láttam tőle. Sok oldalú tehetség és kiváló harcművész.
He is truly amazing, I must watch all of his movies now!
All his flips and jumps, he makes it look so easy!
Love this kind of movies since I was a child and Yuen Biao was amazing on the 80's.
The most agile of the 3 dragons
Also a great physical comedy actor.
@8:49 that side flip onto the beam got me every time as a kid.....
Chances are we will never see amazing fights like these again. Love the 80s and 90s Hongkong fight scenes so much.
The crazy thing is modern video clips of less physically impressive feats hit up hundred of thousands of not millions of views whilst this feat back taking place in the 80s or 70s is arguably much more breathtaking as fitness and martial arts for the most part was not yet mainstream
Yuen,Samo and Jackie went to the same school...i love seeing the 3 of them together, They each got they on flava

he might be underrated, but we guarantee that all people would know him will definitely like him ❤️❤️
Loved this actor. Really awesome fighter and good actor too.
Holy shit this is hard core martial art back in the old days which we dont see anymore.
Wow I miss those days of awesome martial arts movies. Now everything is over top production and fake graphics
The rope skipping scene was really impressive. I'm a big fan of Jacky Chan so I've seen plenty of Yuen Biao, but now I need to find more with this guy. Good video.
Thanks to you, I've been collecting all the action scenes. Thank you so much
He is one of the more acrobatic and humble one amongst the seven brothers.
Yes Yuen Biao is the most agile and acrobatic of the Seven Little Fortunes, but sadly he is underrated.
元彪を好きになって40年、高いキックが大好き。素敵なお爺さまになったなーと思います。
He is awesome. Loved him in Once upon a time in China. Great to see his signature back flips.
Many of his scenes in once upon a time was cut out so he didnt stole the show from jet li. Werry underrated in The West but just as big as Jackie and sammo in the east.
And he played Foon who wasn't supposed to be a good fighter. I wouldn't be surprised if he did double Jet Li in some of the acrobatic stuff and the fact that Jet Li also got injured in the making of that film.
Wow! I knew Biao was good but I didn't know he was Chinese Spider Man! He's amazing!
What a Legend,it is an honor to see you fight ,my favourite ❤
The jumping rope scene was one of the most impressive to me. Maybe one reason he didn't take off as much as the other two was that he didn't look quite as tough with his a smaller frame? I think if there were more scenes and roles showing off his unique abilities he could have shone a bit more. I loved him in Wheels on Meals, Dragons Forever, and Project A Part 1.
Prodigal son
Check out 'Righting Wrongs'... Such an amazing film.
he was the toughest one of the other two
This guy was really great
He had incredible movement and coordination!!
Sifu Biao, salute!
Truly underrated, martial artist, stuntman, acrobat.
Yuen Biao is Fantastic actor .
The most underrated action comedy actor of all time
The most agile, acrobati & speedy fighter of all.
日本語失礼致します…世間はジャッキーでも、私はユン様(元彪)推し💗動きが細やかで綺麗…みとれます✨懐かしいなぁ…いつ見ても萌ます❤
My favourite yuen biao movie is the prodigal son , not only showcases his martial arts ability but also his comedic acting as well....coupled with sammo hung ....
Sammo jakie yuan all have different fighting styles . Legends respect👌
He is fantastic
No argument here very underrated never got the recognition.
Yes Yuen Biao is underrated, sadly.
Fantastic talent. Always enjoyed watching his flips and his high kicks. Damn good actor too!
beautiful tribute! yuen biao's the best! tribute obviously lovingly made, and we watched with joy with some enthusiastic five year olds, one who said "wow, he's extra cooool!"
From Trinidad... utmost respect for Yuen Biao
Definitely have better acrobatic and fighting skills than Jackie Chan. His kicks are awesome too
Yes his movements are actually more crisp then Jackie's
7:35 the iconic moment. Mr. Biao will always be associated in my mind with this outer worldly kick
Increible!!
Yes ! ! !
I remember Him now - Yuen Biao
This Hero his Kung Fu is Real
Not Fake.
RESPECT, RESPECT, RESPECT.
Real Chinese Kung Fu Fighter
Everything about him is REAL.
Resident evil, 10 cuts from 5 angles to show a guy getting punched, these guys do a whole fight scene without cutting
What a style man! Real Chinese act.
4:34 for some reason I find this kick super impressive..
And also yuen is very underrated despite being so full of potentialities.
Yuen's physical capabilities were even better than Jackie's IMO. He had SO much potential, i wonder why he didn't really succeed. Politics or something?
Jackie and Sammo are not just great action stars, they are also good directors, writers, producers.

So in a way, he has the least "potential" among those three.
He did succeed IMO. Everyone can't or doesn't want the same type of success.
even though they are older now, i would like to see all 3 of them in a movie.i mostly like yuen biao from the 3 dragons.
Yuen Biao is definitely most agile but that's about it. Jackie had better explosiveness and executed fight moves more cleanly, he just had better physical charisma.
@Kurapika Giovanna He got lucky? really dude? Jackie almost died while doing Armor of Gods stunt. He was the most risk taker of the 3 dragons. Not lucky. lol

Τοο bad they grow older.i would like to see them in a movie together even though they are older.
3 legend : SAMMO HUNG, JACKIE CHAN AND YUEN BIAO
Holy shit,man's agile as fuck!
So much meta on that scene with the jump rope: that level of acrobatics would be enough from someone else, but from Yuen Biao Sammo Hung could ask much more as a director.

Grrr....bloody kids!
Love all the three brothers. Fantastic masters of their craft
Yuen Biao,definitely one of the best to come out of the Pe King opera school alongside with Sammo and Jackie..
Awesome
Greatness
Wow what ta moves....
His kung fu is perfect. Incredibly underrated.
I m callin' that estetick
Yuen Biao's most badass moment is at the beginning of Millionaire's Express where he jumps from the top of a two stories building which is set on fire, lands on the ground, stands up, walks to a bunch other guys, and start a conversation. ALL in one take! Big deal.

Matsie Smith yes , very cute 😍
thank you for uploading this 😘 I am a new fan of Yuen 😍 I first saw him in dragons forever. I was just plannng to watch old jackie chan movies but I ended up falling to Yuen Biao 😍❤️
A real legend
The greatest stuntman! 😎
He was better than jackie in flexibility and in techniques
Highly underrated actor
Without a doubt out of the three Biao is the more acrobatic while Chan is more agile and Hung packs more power. I'd rather get kick in the face by Chan or Biao than Hung.
7:32 - bliss from my childhood
5:45 I like how he know scissor kick 👍👍👍
He was really awesome to watch. I was also baffled as to why he didn't continue making more movies. He was in very good movies Millionaires Express, Prodigal Son, etc., he even made bunch of movies with big stars like Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung, so it is a bit puzzling and sad.
Scott Adkins should interview the three dragons in his YT channel
Agreed
Yuan biao have super fight scenes 👍💯👍

@@ΠαοΤασοςΠαο Yeah, me too.
Nice video
Yuen Biao is the best ever!!
Great master Yuen
he deseeves to be attributed in the tekken game same as samo hung is to bob and jackie chan is to lei wulong and bruce lee is to law
Yuen Biao always does the 540 kick, if it connects it stops short...if it doesn't, he lands and follows up with a turn kick...
Çok farklı bir aurası var ve çok iyi dövüşüyor fakat değeri bilinmemiş.
They don't talk about him that much but he is one of my favorites.
Incredible - this man is a natural acrobat and athlete.
Yuen biao super action star
The original master of park hour
Damn this guy is still kicking ass too. Great form and agility.
I just watched him in IP Man: The Legend Is Born. He was the Master of the school.
6:45 He is the only martial arts star I've ever seen that performed this kick. Maybe Scott Adkins did this in a couple of his films.
Acrobatics is much higher level than Jackie Chan
It not fair to compare them,Yuen biao learned martial arts and gymnastics in the same school that sammo hung did.
Jackie chan is the f Kung Fu master...chan the man..now Yuen biao,is one of my favorite,for me it is the four dragons of china Jackie chang Donnie yen Yuen biao and sammo hung.❤
素敵すぎ
いまも大好きです😊
Yuen biao best movie was the time warriors
Love the camera cuts
Thanks.i tried to show his acrobatic,parkour,fighting and kata style so everybody can see how good this man really is😄💪✌👏
youngest of the jackie chan n sammo hung trio....but the best in agility.
元彪是我最爱武打巨星，元彪年輕時好靚仔中年時更俊，元彪我永远爱你❤you
Superhuman.
台前一分钟，台下十年功，彪哥好样的👍👍👍
真的！從小就跟大哥哥姐姐看彪哥的戲，他都是超稱職與低調的主配角。縱使"敗家子"這齣雖演主人翁梁贊,但前大段還是以林正英演出吃重，直到"急凍奇俠"才完全是主角,也才後續有"西藏小子"作品~
Sammo Hung : Powerful , Funny
Yuen : Beutiful, Acrobatic
Jet : Traditional, Fast
Donnie : Serious, Diversity
Jackie?
Jackie.
Jackie. Silly, no fighting style
Jackie is Jackie, he can beat you with chair, table, stair etc
Jacky was an all rounder in the movies but mostly was known for his stunts.Hwang Jang Lee should join the list a great fast skilled kicker and a real fighter and multiple world champion.
@mr. majestic He also likes choy li fut and wing chun.
Yuen Biao, Jackie Chan, Samo Hung - the masters of martial comedy.
