My teacher once interviewed Billy Chong (HK movie star) and Mr. Chong mentioned that he learned Heqitao (Hapkido) in Hongkong. It is amazing, but Hapkido used to be well-represented in Hongkong movie industries in the 70s. Some of the masters gets roles as well, such as GM Ji Han Jae in one of Bruce Lee's film.
Recently my teacher discovered that another Hapkido master, Ing-Sik Whang, is also a movie star who appeared in many movies. Here are his filmography.

Very interesting, isn't it? Now I know why some of the techniques in Hongkong movies looks like Jujutsu
If it used to be quite well known, how come Hapkido isn't famous in Hongkong now? Anybody knows the answer why?
