S V5: How many styles did you train and which style suited you best? Love in a Fallen City. Photo courtesy of Celestial Pictures. Almost as long as there’s been a Chinese cinema, there have been Shaw Brothers. The three oldest brothers, Runje, Runde, and Runme, founded the Tianyi Film Company in Shanghai in 1925. Shortly thereafter, Runme and the youngest brother, Run Run, opened a branch of the company in Singapore, eventually expanding to Hong Kong. The Shaw empire crashed with the Japanese invasions, first in Shanghai in 1937 and then Singapore and Hong Kong in 1941. But after the war, thanks to the “more than $4 million in gold, jewelry and currency (they buried) in their backyard” they were able to re-open, first in Singapore and then, in the late 1950s, in Hong Kong. Shaw Brothers, with its massive Movietown production lot, became the dominant movie production house in the colony, vanquishing its rival MP & GI (later named Cathay) by the end of the 60s. Synonymous with two of the Hong Kong’s most uniquely impressive genres, the huangmei musical of the early 1960s and the martial arts movies of the late 60s and 70s, Shaw Brothers was the home of directors Li han-hsiang and Cheng Cheh, Chor Yuen and Lau Kar-leung, and stars like Jimmy Wang Yu, Ti Lung, David Chiang, Alexander Fu Sheng, Gordon Liu, and Kara Hui, all under the direction of Run Run and his wife, producer Mona Fong. They made bright, glossy Mandarin-language genre films with high production values under factory conditions, the closest anyone has ever come to replicating MGM in its heyday. But in 1970, Shaws production chief Raymond Chow left to form the Golden Harvest studio, which thanks to the massive success of Bruce Lee, a willingness to make movies in Cantonese, and new talents like Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, and Michael Hui, quickly began to eclipse the Shaws. By the mid 1980s, exhausted from competition with Golden Harvest and other upstart studios like Cinema City and unable to ada .

There have been many foreign actors (Gweilo's) in Asian Action and Kung Fu movies since the genre exploded on the international scene back in the early 1970s. Old School Kung Fu fans know Roy Horan and his works for, among others, Seasonal Film Corporation; Richard Harrison and his participation in numerous ninja movies from the team of Joseph Lai and Godfrey Ho; but there's one Anglo actor who ran the gamut in HK/Taiwan cinema--appearing in big studio productions, independent films, Bruceploitation pictures, ninja movies, HK New Wave and American and Italian action movies. A martial arts instructor of various styles, the legendary John Ladalski has done it all and worked with virtually everybody in the Asian Martial Arts/Action film industry. Of all the foreign actors featured in this unique genre, Master John Ladalski is one of, if not the single most important contributor to Asian cinema's rich legacy of intricately choreographed fists, feet and clashing swords.
