Sammo Hung Kam-Bo's real name is Hong Jinbao. The nickname San Mao, which was later shortened to Sammo, and which in Cantonese means “Three hairs”, was given to him by his parents. Hun was born in 1952. Three years earlier, a film of the same name was released in China. Here are the parents and nicknamed the son born with hairs on his head, San Mao.
Sammo studied at the prestigious Yu-Jim-Yuen School (Beijing Opera School). The life of students in this school could not be called easy and festive: they were punished for the slightest oversight, or even just for prevention. Physical punishment was practiced. However, the competition, in modern language, in this school was not small. San Mao was even more difficult than the others, as he was far from thin. But, despite his tangible weight, he perfectly mastered all the subjects that were taught in school - and acrobatics, and pantomime, and singing, and kung fu.
The school staged the play “Seven Little Lucky”, for which the most gifted students were selected. In the play about the seven brothers, Yen Hung Kam-Bo played an older brother. Since then, he has received another nickname: Big Brother. One of the lucky ones was Jackie Chan. The performance was a success, it was played not only for the Chinese, but also for foreign guests. Later, the Ian brothers were filmed as stuntmen. And some of them, like Sammo, later became movie stars.
Sammo, under a contract with the Hong Kong film company Golden Harvest, became the head of the stunt crew, which included Jackie Chan. Sammo Hung Kam-Bo has worked extensively with Bruce Lee and other actors. It was he who created a new genre in cinema: kung fu action movie. Sammo Hung Kam-Bo is known as a stuntman (weighing 100 kg), combat choreographer, producer, director and actor. Russian viewers know him from the film “Chinese city”. /
