Chen Kuan-tai remains one of our favorite old school Shaw Brothers stars, because of his badass demeanor and excellent kung fu. Whether teaching respect to uppity youngsters in The Teahouse, taking on three Venoms singlehandedly in Crippled Avengers, or defending the honor of Shaolin Temple in Men from the Monastery (released this week by Celestial/IVL), Chen is truly The Man. This interview by HKCinemagic is not at all recent, but after just stumbling across it this week, I wanted to make sure that more people had a chance to read it.
