...brothers have often collaborated as actors and stunt coordinators, billed as the Yuen Clan. In The Miracle Fighters, a delirious carnival of a film that plays like a ber-Cirque du Soleil, Yat-choh is the young hero, Cheung-yan a cranky lady wizard, Sunny the nasty Sorcerer Bat and Brandy a clown-face warrior condemned to live in a jar.

...naturalistic style stuck in my mind. I ended up at the same acting school he had attended, and in 1960 we did a TV movie of the play that had made him famous, Eugene O'Neill's The Iceman Cometh.
