Tommy Tam Fu-Wing (born 19 August 1946 in Guangdong, Republic of China), better known by his stage name Ti Lung, is a Hong Kong actor, known for his numerous starring roles in a string of Shaw Brothers Studio's films, particularly The Sentimental Swordsman and its sequel, and in the classic A Better Tomorrow.

Biography

Très tôt, Ti Lung suit une formation dans l'art martial Wing chun, sous la tutelle de maître Chu Wan.

Il est découvert en 1969 par le grand réalisateur de la Shaw Brothers, Chang Cheh qui le fait débuter avec un petit rôle dans le film Le Bras de la Vengeance (Return of the One-Armed Swordsman)(1969) ; il est ensuite révélé par le film Dead End qui est son premier rôle principal. Il apparait dans de nombreux films d'arts martiaux de la Shaw Brothers durant les années 1970 et reçoit des prix au Golden Horse Film Festival et à l'Asia-Pacific Film Festival en 1973 pour le film Frères de sang (Blood Brothers). Il tourne régulièrement avec Chang Cheh, puis continue avec un autre grand réalisateur du studio: Chu Yuan ; il tourne aussi deux films en tant que réalisateur au milieu des années 1970.
Mais aux débuts des années 1980, l'arrivée de jeunes talents tels que Jackie Chan ou Michael Hui dans des films qui combinent action et comédie fait passer de mode Ti Lung, et sa carrière commence à décliner.
En 1986, John Woo le fait revenir sur le devant de la scène dans ce qui sera le plus gros succès chinois des années 1980, Le Syndicat du crime et sa suite. Sa carrière relancée, il enchaîne sur Tiger On The Beat, True Colors, City War, Just Heroes, films surfant sur la vague du film de Woo.
Depuis le milieu des années 1990, des problèmes de santé l'ont obligé à mettre sa carrière en suspens. Il fait cependant occasionnellement des apparitions au cinéma - notamment dans Blade of Fury, The Bare-Footed Kid, The Killer’s blues, Combats de maître 2 (1994) ou Three Kingdoms (2007). Il joue l'un des rôles principaux du film The Kid from the Big Apple en 2016.

During an operation, Wong's subordinate Sam Mok (Simon Yam) shoots Wong in the back heavily injuring him. Meanwhile, Governor Murray MacLehose delegates Sir Barry Drainage to investigate the corruption happening in Hong Kong. Drainage's assistant Annie Ma (Maggie Cheung) also enlists Wong for help. After investigating, Wong discovers that Mok was forced to shoot him earlier. Wong then recruits Mok alongside two elite cadets from the police academy to assist him in gathering evidence of corruption groups and begins Hong Kong's first strike against corruption.
