Lam Ching Ying

林正英 Master For All Seasons

Sifu Lam Off Screen

Lam Ching Ying lived in a world of his own. He rarely let the outworld into his life. Rarely can we find private photos of him on the Internet. I would like to share with you what I have found.

Working with Bruce Lee

A mysterious game - "Game of Death"

 On Kim Tai Jung's official site, he states that he saw 90 mins of Bruce Lee continuous Game of Death film footage back in 1975 with Lam Ying Ching (this did not include any pagoda scenes but Lam stated these were all filmed by Bruce Lee).  Lam Ying Ching can be seen playing a karate fighter in outside picture stills against Bruce Lee.

Rumours - Original Unedited Footage (over 4 hours exist)

                       -Full Original Script by Bruce Lee (100 pages exist)

Original Cast - Bruce Lee, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Ji Han Jae, Dan Inosanto, James Tien, Chieh Yuan, Nora Miao, George Lazenby, Hwang In-Shik, Bob Baker, Bolo Yeung, Lam Ching Ying, Wu Ngan, Lee Quin, Betty Ting-Pei

Personally I think they are all somewhere in Lam Ching Ying's legacy, as he once mentioned that Bruce handed his notes over to him, just before his death!!!

Private Photos

25th Hong Kong Movie Awards 1983

A fade black and white newspaper cutout.

  A really unique photo of  a smiling Ying.    

    

This is the one and only photo with punctual details. It was took on the 27th September 1992 in Shibuya Pantheon in Tokyo, Japan. At the Tokyo International Fantastic Film Festival Crazy Safari was presented. Lam Ching Ying was the Featival's guest star.

This picture was taken in Hong Kong around October 1987 when Mr. Vampire became a huge hit. As I understood a certain Japanese traveling company organized a "Spirit Vision Tour" to Hong Kong. Part of the program was a meeting with the Sifu himself.  

This photo I published is collected from a Japanese ladies site. I couldn't get in touch with her. If she contacts me I will do as she wishes: link back or remove it. Thank you!
 

Lam and Miss Yuan King Tan


Lam Ching Ying and Miss Yuen King Tan's heartbreaking relationship is still mysterious and there are missing details but I try my best to see clear and let you know the reality behind the gossips.
I am doing a  full research on this subject in official Chinese sites, newspapers and I use reliable sources, interviews, memoirs.

Hare are two pictures featuring them back in 1996. I don't know exact details, except the second one which was made on a New Years Eve Party '96.
