Legendary Hong Kong actor Ng Man-tat, who died February 27 of liver cancer at the age of 70, is best known for his comedic roles, most specifically those alongside Stephen Chow Sing-Chi. But Ng was more versatile than most movie fans give him credit for, having won several best supporting actor awards throughout his career. His performance as Rambo, a former triad member who has to resort to washing cars for a living, won Ng the Best Supporting Actor award at the 10th Hong Kong Film Awards in 1991. This movie is perhaps most famous for Chow and the late Anita Mui's chemistry. One of Ng's final roles, he very nearly turned it down because he was due for heart surgery at the time.
