In the 1980s and 1990s, many classic Hong Kong dramas accompanied us through countless days and nights of childhood and adolescence. In addition to the protagonists, there were many supporting characters in the better movies that also added color to the movies and attracted countless audiences. Let’s talk about the supporting characters who appear in the movie, in no particular order.

You may not know the name, but when it comes to Father Young and Dangerous, everyone should know what he means.
Lin Shangyi was originally a member of the Hong Kong football team. After hanging up his boots, he became a football commentator and guided Hong Kong for more than 20 years. He passed away in Hong Kong in 2009. Occasionally, he also took on some movies during his lifetime. Jiang is very old and spicy. Lin Shangyi played many roles with sharpness and edge, which left a deep impression on people. Signature character: The priest in "Young and Dangerous" who preaches to a group of Hong Xingzi. Classic lines:
Pheasant: Who are you hanging out with? Father
: I hang out with God. God is very righteous. Little brother, you can hang out with him too. I used to be nicknamed "Lao Pao" and I had smoked poisonous powder. Who am I afraid of? My eldest brother is Jesus! I have been preaching here for more than 30 years. I’m afraid it’s not possible to get them all to believe in Jesus, but if you let them kill people, ask them if they will go?

Although he is a supporting role, he is the godfather of Jacky Cheung, Lin Yilian, and Liming, and is known as Brother Xiu. In the 1950s and 1960s, he starred in many literary films and was very popular among Hong Kong audiences. After the 1970s and 1980s, I mainly worked on TV series and appeared in supporting roles in some movies. I think Hu Feng is very representative among Hong Kong actors. He can be upright and humorous, shoot serious dramas, meticulously portray characters, shoot comedies, and laugh and laugh, and he can still be remembered by you.

6, Roland
When it comes to ghosts and dragons, how can we leave out Roland? If you haven’t been scared by Sister Luo Lan while watching a ghost movie, you must have seen a ghost, haha. (It turns out that Roland was so beautiful when she was young)
A few decades ago, Hong Kong film genres were relatively single, and Roland was involved in making literary films. Later, Hong Kong films became more and more diversified. She did not retreat from the film industry, but took up He has played many supporting roles to this day.

History of Uncle Hua: Around 1933, he dreamed of joining the film industry. When watching a movie, he saw the words of a Shanghai film company in the end subtitles, so he and his friends took a boat from Hong Kong to Shanghai and signed up to join that film company.

10, Cheng Kui'an
When it comes to "Da Sha", basically no introduction is needed. To play gangster characters, people like Andy Lau and Tony Leung need acting skills. Dasha needs it. If you open your eyes wide, you are already a bad guy. If you go shopping with a knife, you can make the whole street restless! Movies without him in the 1980s and 1990s were basically not considered gangster movies. It's a pity that he has passed away and I can no longer watch Dasha's movies.

"Uncle Tat" is known as the most expensive supporting actor in Hong Kong, and his salary is higher than that of many leading actors. It’s not easy to not sing or take photos, but it’s all about superb acting skills and hard work. Watching Stephen Chow's movies without Ng Man-tat is like eating bread without water, it's much harder to swallow. However, if there is no Stephen Ng Sing-chi, everyone will support him; but if there is no Stephen Ng Sing-chi, everyone is more forgiving, forgiving him for having to support his family.
