Trivia
Attended same opera school as Jackie Chan.
Weighs 220 pounds.
Longtime friends with Jackie Chan and directed Chan in Mr. Nice Guy.
He was first called Sammo in Hong Kong because of his resemblance to a popular Chinese cartoon character. The character's name was "Sam Mo" which is Cantonese for "three hairs," which is all the cartoon character had.
Eldest grandson of Zhi-gong Chen.
When his work first started getting released in the West, he was billed as Samo Hung. It was not until years later, after English-speakers kept mispronouncing his first name as 'say-mo', that the M was doubled to get the 'Sammo' that we are more familiar with now.
