Check out his IMDB. Dude's worked as a director or action director/2nd unit director on a ton of good stuff. In recent years he's also done some total junk (The Emperor and the White Snake, I'm looking at YOU), though in his defense the problem with Dr. Uwe Boll's In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale wasn't the fight choreography he was tasked with handling.

He did the action stuff on Flying Dagger and it's really good. Not the House Of Flying Daggers but the utterly insane 1993 movie with Maggie Cheung and the other Tony Leung.

No, he's an arms dealer, and Jackie Chan is the world's least convincing lawyer. Also everyone is a kung fu master. EVERYONE.

Didn't Bolo Yeung play a lawyer in some movie as a bit part just to be something other then huge henchman ?

A truly remarkable movie, be careful not to to read the Wikipedia article which spoils many amazing twists like

And the kid is played by a 14 year old girl who ended up a wushu champion and finally a HK cop! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angie_Tsang

Hong Kong Legends had a great special edition Iron Monkey DVD where they interviewed her and Li Fai who played the scarred witch and showed some footage from a wushu competition..
