He is best known for his movies which he made during the 1970s and 1980s with Shaw Brothers Studio. One of his most famous films is The 36th Chamber of Shaolin which starred his adopted brother Gordon Liu. Before becoming famous, Lau worked as a extra and choreographer on the black & white Wong Fei Hong movies. In the 1960s he became one of Shaw Brothers main choreographers and worked on wuxia films like The One-Armed Swordsman. Only after the sudden boom of kung-fu movies in the early 1970s, Lau evolved into director. After Shaw Brothers collapsed in the 1980s, Lau moved on and continued directing and choreographing movies. His most famous non-Shaw film is undoubtedly Drunken Master II, which is regarded as one of the best martial arts movies by many fans. However it is a well known fact that the film's star Jackie Chan and director had argued hotly over the style of fighting. In real life, Lau is a practitioner of Hung Gar style kung-fu. Not surprisingly, many of Lau's films are about Hung Gar history and its practitioners. In fact, Lau has kung-fu lineage to the legendary Wong Fei Hung. fr:Liu Chia-Liang category:Hong Kong film directors|Lau, Kar Leung category:Hong Kong film actors|Lau, Kar Leung category:Shaw Studio|Lau, Kar Leung category:Martial arts practitioners|Lau, Kar Leung This article is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License.
