Best known to many fans as Kung Lao in 2021’s Mortal Kombat, Max Huang (A Legend, Chinese Zodiac) has quietly built an impressive career as an actor, martial artist, stunt performer, fight choreographer and singer, making him one of the more versatile talents working in action cinema today.
A member of Jackie Chan’s legendary stunt team, Huang brought his athleticism to productions like Kingsman: The Secret Service, The Foreigner, and Police Story 2013 before stepping further into the spotlight as a leading man.
Now, Huang returns with a new project titled Max Huang: Life of Action, a documentary chronicling his journey into the highly competitive film industry. Directed by Rifaldi, the film is produced and written by Huang himself, who also serves as the action director and fight choreographer.

From a young boy in Germany inspired by martial arts films, to a member of the legendary Jackie Chan Stunt Team, to his breakout role as Kung Lao in Warner Bros. Mortal Kombat. This is the story the world never saw.
Max Huang stars as himself, alongside Harry Halim as Noorman Widjaja, Verrel Gautama as Young Max Huang, and Julian Latif as James, with Anna-Barbara Lackner-Widjaja, Noorman Widjaja, Lee Huang, and Stunt Team: Macho Virgonta Hungan, Mardiyono Sulaiman & Ricky Saladian.
🔥 Footnote: A documentary about Max Huang, written by and starring Max Huang?! To some, it may come across as a self focused project that feels a bit self indulgent. To others, it reads as a story about resilience, persistence, and someone determined to reach his goals. Whatever the interpretation, one thing is clear: this guy definitely puts in the work.
