I'm a Malaysian Chinese. I grew up watching them. 80s was the golden era of HK entertainment. Now, no more. Sad but true. They went through hardships to make it big. Now, the present generation don't go through all those anymore. No wonder the standard has dropped tremendously now.
wow - excellent actors here. i like Felix Wong most although i think Kent Tong was the most talented, but hard luck he had to withdraw from tvb after Babara Yung's suicide.... definitely affected his career. Felix is a legendary actor too - so many different roles in so many varied settings played superbly.
Two are missing, Andy Lau and Tony Long. These are great actors from the 80s and 90s. I still want to see them on the screen even though they are getting older now.
Honestly, Andy and Tony have been the most successful out of the 5 tigers- since they have been true movie stars for many years and won many acting awards along the way. Andy has even been a very successful singer as one of the 4 major Canto-pop Heavenly Kings.
