The Many Faces Of
Lam Ching-Ying

Please excuse the low quality of some of these images, but they're captured from my personal video tapes, and some are old and often viewed and others are copies of copies of copies of format conversions of tapes released in other countries. This doesn't lend itself to the highest image quality for stills. There's only a smattering of his varied appearances up here currently, but more is sure to follow after the site settles down.

I Love Maria
Besides the sharp businessman look he sports in most of his scenes in this movie, Lam Ching-Ying also shows up as a biker-hero type.

Lam Ching-Ying brings his Eternal Sifu character into the modern age, and alters his outward appearance to match. Probably my favorite Lam Ching-Ying movie.
