Chow is well loved in HK. A genuine down to earth good guy. Also, he didn't sell his soul for money and bowed down under pressure like a lot of people in HK. Especially the celebrities. Respect!
Personally, I look at him like the Asian version of Keanu Reeves. He was rich but never spent money on luxuries. I miss my childhood days when his movies were always playing on my local TV on Saturday nights.
I've been watching Chow Yun Fat movies with my mother who's living in a nursing home. She really likes him and by watching all his movies I can say he is a very versatile actor. I just knew him through his big hits like Crouching Tiger and Hard Boiled etc. He performs well in shoot-them-up, romantic, historical, and comedies. He is such a humble person and down to earth guy. As one of the comments below said he kind of like Keanu Reeves. Sad about the pregnancy tragedies but at least he and Jasmine Tan have a beautiful marriage. They are such a good looking couple! Thanks CYF for all your great movies and TV shows!!
Chow is a legend in his own right...i like his film Replacement Killer. We dont need to compare him with Jackie Chan or Bruce Lee. Compare an apple with apple.
Wow what a prolific actor. I did not know of all these movies he has done most of his life. China has a treasure with him. His good looks and great acting have carried him far. He excels as the bad guy. But, he has a few comedy gigs that are really good too.
Well researched and great content. Thank you for doing the due diligence to showcase the multi faceted and beautiful human being that is Mr Chow. He is a legend and one of the remaining icons of a bygone era of awe inspiring Hong Kong entertainment (TV and cinema). It’s such a shame that is no longer there. Handsome, talented, humble, charismatic. He is one of a kind. Please feature more of the icons from that beautiful bygone era. Leslie Cheng, Anita Mui, Andy Lau. Powerhouses of talent 🙏🏼
Regarding 23:23, the narrator misspoke when he said that Chow Yun-fat needs "$100,000 to $150,000" a month for the most necessary things. Instead Chow Yun-fat actually said he needs $100 to $150 a month for the most necessary things.
My first exposure to Chow was when “the Bund” arrived in the US in the form of Video tapes for rental. It was well written and Chow maneuvered to be the crime boss without violence. Since then he has a nick name in that translates into “crocked lip Fat” because of the way he talks. Good to learn is also not a bad guy.
Sou muito sua fã Chow yum fat mandem por favor um filme dele dublado em português muito lindo seus filhos de ação muitos fantásticos cenas intensas , que Deus te abençoe e te proteja falo aqui do Brasil Fortaleza ceará.🙏🕊️🤍
In Hong Kong it is very common for artists be it actors or singers to have English names like Andy Lau, Jackie Chan but Chow Yuen Fatt is one of the few who goes by his Chinese name. Fun fact Chow Yuen Fatt has not worked with Jackie Chan for a good reason which I won't mention here. I didn't say he doesn't have one, he doesn't go by it. It is a very presidential name 😁
16:45 Mandarin is not a dialect language, it is the official Chinese language. Cantonese, Chow's mother tongue however is a dialect from the Guangdong province of China
21:41 you really are old, who ask for autographs these days? Selfies of course 😂 I said you are old because you mentioned Chow sister saying "it was she" which is correct but that's the old way. Anyway, thanks for the video, very informative.
Good luck to Chow my hero and beautiful wife Jasmine and may they continue with their charities and live a gorgeous life
I love who he is, humble, genuine, and a lifetime experience hiker.
He is my drinking buddy and we often go to the local brothels.
@@chinaboss6683sure 😂😂😂😂😂😂
A Very down to earth and genuine person
Yes I met him and he isn’t stuck up at all.
he doesn't aged after all these years... he still looks the same wow 🥰 what a beautiful man inside and out.
facial and hiking

Você conhece ele pessoalmente Chow yum fat
Personally, I look at him like the Asian version of Keanu Reeves. He was rich but never spent money on luxuries. I miss my childhood days when his movies were always playing on my local TV on Saturday nights.
Keanu Reeves is also Asian by his Chinese grandma. But yea, Chow Yun Fat is just a cool as Keanu.
Chow yun fat- john lee
Keanu reeves- john wick
Chow Yun Fat drives a Porsche, U know or not ?
I would see Keanu is an American version of Chow Yun Phát LOL, when Chow became famous Keanu was still a kid.
Very true such a good man
Chow Yun Fat is one of my most favored actors in film and he has a golden heart. What's not to like.

My favourite was the TVB series... the fishmonger ... or something like that. Mong Zhong Yan
Chow yun fat is number 1 ❤❤
Chow is a very versatile actor and can play most roles.
Chow is a legend in his own right...i like his film Replacement Killer. We dont need to compare him with Jackie Chan or Bruce Lee. Compare an apple with apple.
One of the humblest super-stars in my life time.
I love his movies, he is a great actor and even better human being
Legendary actor and a great human being. Those whom have seen his Autumn Story...should look it up. One of the all time best love story IMO.
A true megastar! Excellent video!
If you watch his comedy movies, you will like him more and more.
I like him in action drama.Great actor 😊
nearly undefined brilliance with longevity === true greatness, all aspects on screen !!!
I can remember back in his younger days all the ladies would be tripping over themselves. His a true legend and a great human being 🏆🏆🏆
Great actor
he sounds like an amazing person !!!
Legend ⭐⭐⭐
Very humble, give all his money to help others in need
He is simply.....fantastic!The most beautiful smile on the screen🎉🎉🎉.
Чоу Юн - Фат !!! Лучший из Лучших!!!!! Браво !!!!
Wow what a prolific actor. I did not know of all these movies he has done most of his life. China has a treasure with him. His good looks and great acting have carried him far. He excels as the bad guy. But, he has a few comedy gigs that are really good too.
More like Hong Kong but technically Hong Kong is part of China after 97 so...
Chow is always a hardboiled god of gamblers to me.
Mi actor favorito ..mi persona favorita .. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for your work! Great Video about this Legend

Aktor kesukaan aku, punya wajah yang kalem🥰
Mr. Chow, I LOVE A Better Tomorrow.
And Fine❤❤
Chow Yun Fatt is the Ken Watanabe of the Chinese world.
It's too bad Hollywood didn't know what to do with him. He's duch a great and versatile actor. He's so handsome and charming as well
Why too bad? Hollywood has so many stars and Chow made successful movies in Hong Kong.
It is hard to find a good script for him.
Regarding 23:23, the narrator misspoke when he said that Chow Yun-fat needs "$100,000 to $150,000" a month for the most necessary things. Instead Chow Yun-fat actually said he needs $100 to $150 a month for the most necessary things.
A wonderful person 🙋❤️🇵🇭
To me he is the ideal man
Chow famous actors, n humble well done
The Bund is my all time favorite!! ❤
Hong Kong a lot super Star 💫✨ from poor family 😊 friendly and kindly people's like
My first exposure to Chow was when “the Bund” arrived in the US in the form of Video tapes for rental. It was well written and Chow maneuvered to be the crime boss without violence.

What a fantastic human being
"A better tomorrow". If u grasp the native language, it is a movie like no other. The movie actually exemplifies his inner character.
Even Andy Lau didn't make a box office that good. I like both of them though.
My father once was his senior when he worked in an advertisement company with other famous actress in Hong Kong namely Michelle 米雪
Please, this man is great. Husband, father,son, love of my dreams. Lucky wife and lucky husband. Get it now.syb.
I love him from the release of " a better tomorrow" , he's the best ❤
Chow is the greatest actor of our times.
He was a nice '큰 형님' with a warm smile to the boy who is now a middle-aged man...
Que gran gran actor,alla por los 90 me veía sus peliculas en VHS y ahora tengo su colección en DVD...
So handsome. Loved him in Anna and her King.
I'm still remember kick-ass scene of Chow Yun-fat that light a cigarette with dollar bill in the better tomorrow. Lol
My favourite movies are ‘A Better Tomorrow I & Ii,’ ‘God of Gamblers I & II’
Mine is The Bund. (Shang Hai Than.)
I ❤ chow yun fat in anna and the king.
To me he will always be God of Gamblers
Sou muito sua fã Chow yum fat mandem por favor um filme dele dublado em português muito lindo seus filhos de ação muitos fantásticos cenas intensas , que Deus te abençoe e te proteja falo aqui do Brasil Fortaleza ceará.🙏🕊️🤍
Congratulations BEST bund cwf IDOL'S OILFIELDS global success💎💕🎶🌎💎
❤❤❤❤
Semoga suatu saat aku bisa bertemu Chow yun fat ❤
Der Mann mit den lächelnden Augen. 😊
Loved him in Anna and the King.
18:18 i didn't even realize that was him!
I would use Cantonese to say this "永遠嘅發哥，最好嘅發哥，親民嘅發哥，最神嘅發哥"
his mom is terrible for disapproving the women he chooses to have in his life, is not her life to live, is his.
I wished he made a comeback in John Wick 2014 as, rightfully he was the icon that inspired Gun Fu.
Historical period movies.
I'm 😢 think 😮❤😊
I don't see chow yun fat n movie for long time?
❤❤
Seems like humans we should keep 🌎
In Hong Kong it is very common for artists be it actors or singers to have English names like Andy Lau, Jackie Chan but Chow Yuen Fatt is one of the few who goes by his Chinese name. Fun fact Chow Yuen Fatt has not worked with Jackie Chan for a good reason which I won't mention here. I didn't say he doesn't have one, he doesn't go by it. It is a very presidential name 😁
can sometimes run into him on the bus in Happy Valley in HK when he goes to the wet market..
Can you please do how David Schwimmer lives?
Anyone knows the title of the first scene? (0:00-0:13) Thanks 👍
Ought to be A Better Tomorrow 1 (i doubt it's A Better Tomorrow 2)
Thanks 👍
There's a mistake in the narrative @23:25. He needs $100 to $150 a month, NOT $100,000 to $150,000 a month.
AI narration error
Man in the net is a good movie by him.
❤❤❤❤❤
💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️
3:26 its not a rumour. Its the truth. Idy chan admitted in an interview that zhe felt responsible and nursed him back to health
I heard that he suffered some stomach issues so she took care of him.
He's juz a "nomadic~actor" in his "crafted-life"...afterall those years, ...one still couldn't pinpoint the 'mirage on the Big Road'.
A Better Tomorrow need to Be Remake in Holywood
50000000 millions billions dollars for u babez 〽️
He travels on the MTR in Hong Kong, I’ve never been lucky enough to see he,
i prefer his action star work
👏🤩🥰 🇵🇭🇺🇸🥰
16:45 Mandarin is not a dialect language, it is the official Chinese language. Cantonese, Chow's mother tongue however is a dialect from the Guangdong province of China
Star n fans all aged !
23:24 are you sure it's $100 thousand per month when describing a person who doesn't spend much 😂???
21:41 you really are old, who ask for autographs these days? Selfies of course 😂 I said you are old because you mentioned Chow sister saying "it was she" which is correct but that's the old way. Anyway, thanks for the video, very informative.
When he got married at Sg 's flat, his father in law said "marriage is hard work !" bec of the crowds n press there !
God of gamblers , made me a gambling addinct hahahaha
香港並非所有人都喜歡他
Why they don't like him?
Kevin hurt please 🥺
Ahhh jet Li bud …
