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.
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!
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.
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.
A few year ago Mr Chow announced that after his passing he will donate all his money and assets to charity .. knowing he is not speaking the truth and he living a thrifty life last week he announced that he have no intention to donate his hard earned money to those charity organisations.. blaming his wife control his spending double talk and hypocrisy
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
he doesn't aged after all these years... he still looks the same wow 🥰 what a beautiful man inside and out.
facial and hiking
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!
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.
Best charismatic actor
Chow Yun Fat is one of my most favored actors in film and he has a golden heart. What's not to like.
Cho Yun Fatt he is the best and a wonderful person! 👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

My favourite was the TVB series... the fishmonger ... or something like that. Mong Zhong Yan
Wow what a hard working really tallented actor and generous kind human
One of the biggest star yet, most humble awesome person.
Chow is a very versatile actor and can play most roles.
I love Chow Yun Fat. One of the world’s greatest actors. A humble, super nice guy to boot!🕺😎
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 🏆🏆🏆
Chow yun fat is number 1 ❤❤
One of the humblest super-stars in my life time.
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.
If you watch his comedy movies, you will like him more and more.
One of the best actor
Very humble, give all his money to help others in need
nearly undefined brilliance with longevity === true greatness, all aspects on screen !!!
I love his movies, he is a great actor and even better human being
I like him in action drama.Great actor 😊
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.
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.
Chow is always a hardboiled god of gamblers to me.
A true megastar! Excellent video!
Great actor
Legend ⭐⭐⭐
he sounds like an amazing person !!!
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 Yun Fatt is the Ken Watanabe of the Chinese world.
Mr. Chow, I LOVE A Better Tomorrow.

And Fine❤❤
Aktor kesukaan aku, punya wajah yang kalem🥰
Thanks for your work! Great Video about this Legend

Hong Kong a lot super Star 💫✨ from poor family 😊 friendly and kindly people's like
Chow famous actors, n humble well done
18:18 i didn't even realize that was him!
I'm still remember kick-ass scene of Chow Yun-fat that light a cigarette with dollar bill in the better tomorrow. Lol
My father once was his senior when he worked in an advertisement company with other famous actress in Hong Kong namely Michelle 米雪
He was a nice '큰 형님' with a warm smile to the boy who is now a middle-aged man...
Please, this man is great. Husband, father,son, love of my dreams. Lucky wife and lucky husband. Get it now.syb.
What a fantastic human being
To me he is the ideal man
To me he will always be God of Gamblers
The Bund is my all time favorite!! ❤
My favourite movies are ‘A Better Tomorrow I & Ii,’ ‘God of Gamblers I & II’
Mine is The Bund. (Shang Hai Than.)
"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.
A wonderful person 🙋❤️🇵🇭
Chow is the greatest actor of our times.
❤❤❤❤
I love him from the release of " a better tomorrow" , he's the best ❤
I wished he made a comeback in John Wick 2014 as, rightfully he was the icon that inspired Gun Fu.
his mom is terrible for disapproving the women he chooses to have in his life, is not her life to live, is his.
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.
Congratulations BEST bund cwf IDOL'S OILFIELDS global success💎💕🎶🌎💎
I don't see chow yun fat n movie for long time?
I ❤ chow yun fat in anna and the king.
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"
Semoga suatu saat aku bisa bertemu Chow yun fat ❤
Loved him in Anna and the King.
Der Mann mit den lächelnden Augen. 😊
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 you please do how David Schwimmer lives?
can sometimes run into him on the bus in Happy Valley in HK when he goes to the wet market..
Historical period movies.
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
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 👍
Man in the net is a good movie by him.
A Better Tomorrow need to Be Remake in Holywood
I'm 😢 think 😮❤😊
23:24 are you sure it's $100 thousand per month when describing a person who doesn't spend much 😂???
❤❤❤❤❤
He travels on the MTR in Hong Kong, I’ve never been lucky enough to see he,
He's juz a "nomadic~actor" in his "crafted-life"...afterall those years, ...one still couldn't pinpoint the 'mirage on the Big Road'.
💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️
50000000 millions billions dollars for u babez 〽️
i prefer his action star work
God of gamblers , made me a gambling addinct hahahaha
Star n fans all aged !
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.
👏🤩🥰 🇵🇭🇺🇸🥰
When he got married at Sg 's flat, his father in law said "marriage is hard work !" bec of the crowds n press there !
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.
I like see costar with black people?
Ahhh jet Li bud …
Great actor! Great human! But no mention of "Hard-Boiled"?
Kevin hurt please 🥺
香港並非所有人都喜歡他
Why they don't like him?
I know Chow Yun- skinny
A few year ago Mr Chow announced that after his passing he will donate all his money and assets to charity .. knowing he is not speaking the truth and he living a thrifty life last week he announced that he have no intention to donate his hard earned money to those charity organisations.. blaming his wife control his spending double talk and hypocrisy
