COREY YUEN KWAI - renowed director

    Corey Yuen Kwai  is a Hong Kong actor, film director and producer.

Corey was one of Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao's best friends during their days in the Peking Opera School. They spent those days training in a harsh militarisic style under the watch of Master Yu. Corey would go to appear as an extra in Hong Kong films during the chop socky era.

Corey is now one of the top action directors to hit both Hong Kong and the United States. In 1985, he was the first Hong Kong director to successfully bring Hong Kong style action to an American film with No Retreat No Surrender with the soon to be famous kicker Jean-Claude Van Damme. Working with the top stars of Hong Kong, Corey has began an alliance and friendship with action star Jet Li. The two have worked together for more than 8 years and Corey has brought his brand of action in Jet Li's 3 American films, Lethal Weapon 4, Romeo Must Die, The One, and Cradle 2 the Grave. Corey also directed The Transporter and So Close, released in late 2002.
