"Enter Three Dragons" American Theatrical Poster
KFC (via Toby Russell) has reported the death of Korean martial artist and actor, Chang Il Do, better known as Bruce Lai, who died at the age of 64 (not to be confused with Mun Kyong-sok, aka Dragon Lee).
Chang – who also goes by the names Chang Yi Dao, Philip Cheung or Cheung Yat Dao – is widely known for starring in a string of classic Bruceploitation movies. Some of his titles include Lau Kar Leung’s Return to the 36th Chamber (1980) and Godfrey Ho’s Enter three Dragons (1981).
Although Chang has long since retired from film, he has remained active in the Taekwondo community. He often showed up to public events with fellow martial artist, Hwang Jang Lee.
Our condolences go out to Chang Il Do’s family and friends.
