6 Shots From 6 Films: Special Chow Yun-Fat Birthday Edition!

Posted on May 18, 2026 by Bradley Crain

Chow Yun-Fat is one of the great international movie stars, and he’s my favorite living actor. Today is his 71^st birthday, and I’ve been watching and reviewing his movies like crazy this month. I’ve had a ball. I’ll have new reviews to share soon, but today I’m sharing six fun screen images featuring the Hong Kong legend!

*John Woo’s ONCE A THIEF (1991), laughing with Cherie Chung & Leslie Cheung!*

*THE CORRUPTOR, with a chokehold on Byron Mann!*

*ANNA AND THE KING (1999), dancing with Jodie Foster!*

*CURSE OF THE GOLDEN FLOWER (2006), in a toxic relationship with Gong Li!*

*Letting the Bullets Fly in LET THE BULLETS FLY (2010)!*

*Looking debonair in Johnnie To’s OFFICE (2015)!*

4 Shots From 4 Films is just what it says it is, 4 shots from 4 of our favorite films. As opposed to the reviews and recaps that we usually post, 4 Shots From 4 Films lets the visuals do the talking!

Happy 70th Birthday, Chow Yun-Fat!
