Donnie Yen has built up a reputation as among the greatest martial arts stars of all time, due in no small part to his incredible roles in old-school kung fu movies. While Yen later earned recognition in major series like John Wick, Star Wars, and Ip Man, he got his start in the 1980s and truly broke out as a major star during the 1990s. These earlier films showcased his impeccable skills as an actor, director, and talented martial artist.
9 Shanghai Affairs Donnie Yen as Tong Shan Donnie Yen directed and starred in Shanghai Affairs, a film whose straightforward stylings were a big improvement upon Yen’s directorial debut, Legend of the Wolf, from the year before. Shanghai Affairs starred Yen as Tong Shan, a doctor who returns from Britain to care for the sick who cannot afford medical care in his village.
Cat was a far deeper character than the average kung fu assassin, as between hits, he contemplated life and was content to throw himself into his work to avoid fully facing his ethically questionable behavior. However, Cat’s life is thrown into a whirlwind when he falls in love with a beautiful policewoman and is forced to confront the true realities of his existence. As a truly underappreciated release from Yen, Ballistic Kiss was a firm showcase of his skills as a director and producer.
