Lam Fung versus "Pigsy" Peng Peng

Here's a funny little something from the February 1960 issue of Southern Screen: Patricia Lam Fung taking on Peng Peng, who started working in Shaw Brothers' Cantonese division in 1959 but is most remembered for his role as Pigsy in the series of films based on Journey to the West that the studio made from 1966 to 1968. The two guys who first try to take him down are Lui Kei (on the left) and Ko Leung (on the right). Lui Kei also got his start in Shaws' Cantonese division. By the end of the 60s he would become one of Cantonese cinema's top leading men, most famously with "Movie-Fan Princess" Connie Chan, but in the 70s he was back at Shaw Brothers, in the director's chair this time, making films like Sexy Girls of Denmark (1973) and Mini-Skirt Gang (1974).
