History Creator / SammoHung

* StoutStrength: He's heavyset but extremely strong as his fight scenes illustrate.

Sammo grew up along with Creator/JackieChan and Creator/YuenBiao, and the three were raised to become performers of Peking Opera, alongside other kungfu legends like [[Film/KungfuHustle Yuen Wah, Yuan Qiu,]] and Cory Yuen[[note]]Contrary to popular belief, Creator/YuenWoPing was not part of the Seven Little Fortunes. Wo Ping's surname is really Yuen; the Seven Little Fortunes just adopted the surname Yuen in honor of their teacher Yu Jim-yuen. Sammo's "Yuen" name is Yuen Long. However, like them, Wo Ping was also a student at the China Drama Academy.[[/note]]. The Peking Opera tradition is famed for its highly acrobatic fighting scenes, which the three carried with them to their film productions. Sammo's trademark over-weightedness comes from a period in his youth, when he was bedridden with disease for three months and was unable to train. In 1988, a biographical film of the Seven Little Fortunes, ''Painted Faces'', was released, with Sammo portraying Master Yu.
