'''Hung Yan-yan''' (born 25 February 1962, also credited as 熊欣欣 or Xiong Xin Xin)<ref name="hkmdb" /> is a [[Hong Kong people|Hong Kong]] [[martial artist]], [[actor]], [[stuntman]] and [[action director]] originally from [[Liuzhou]], [[Guangxi]], China. He was the stunt double for martial arts superstar [[Jet Li]].
==Early life==
Hung was born in [[Liuzhou]], [[Guangxi]], China in 1962.<ref name="hkmdb" /> He was placed in a [[martial arts]] school at age 12 after he was taken away from school. Hung trained for 12 years and won multiple championships.
==Film career==
After training, he went to [[Hong Kong]] and was discovered by famous [[filmmaker]] [[Lau Kar-leung]], who was at that time filming ''[[Martial Arts of Shaolin]]'' starring [[Jet Li]], and hired Hung as Li's [[stunt double]]. He then moved to Hong Kong in 1988. There, Hung became a stuntman, later an actor and action director. He had small roles as an actor.
Later, Hung was Jet Li's stunt double in ''[[Once Upon a Time in China]]''. Some of the action scenes were too dangerous for Li because of an ankle injury. Hung was then Li's stunt double again in the sequel, ''[[Once Upon a Time in China II]]''. He was also featured a role as the leader of the [[White Lotus|White Lotus Sect]], Kau-kung "Priest" Gao.
He featured in ''[[Once Upon a Time in China III]]'' as Kwai Geuk-Chat known as "Clubfoot Seven" Chiu-Tsat. He was so nicknamed due to his disability, being the seventh member of wealthy rival martial artist, Chiu Tin-bak's gang. A fighting enforcer, he fights [[Wong Fei-hung]] (Li), loses and is terribly injured after Leung Foon ([[Max Mok]]) accidentally releases a stampede of horses from a stable. Clubfoot Seven is then kicked out and abandoned by his former master, Chiu Tin-bak when he called his student Clubfoot a "useless cripple", and becomes discipled to Wong instead. Despite his [[clubfoot]], he showcases his skills which includes his electrifying acrobats and moves. Hung reprised his role as Clubfoot in the next two sequels which do not feature Li, instead it featured [[Vincent Zhao]], who was much younger than Li and more physical so Hung was not much featured as a stunt double. He reprised his role again in the ''Once Upon a Time in China'' TV series and in ''[[Once Upon a Time in China and America]]'' which again features Jet Li and is the last of the ''[[Once Upon a Time in China (film series)|Once Upon a Time in China]]'' series.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=SLTB&p_theme=sltb&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=100F9CD937FB234B&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM|date=September 5, 1997|title=Kung Fu, Old West Saddle Up|author=Sean P. Means|newspaper=[[Salt Lake Tribune]]|accessdate=28 April 2010}}</ref>
He was the main villain, Prince Twelve, in [[Yuen Wo Ping]]'s ''[[Hero Among Heroes]]'' starring [[Donnie Yen]]. His role was first a friend of Yen's character, who turns him into a drug addict and later betrays him.
Hung also followed [[Tsui Hark]] to [[Hollywood, Los Angeles|Hollywood]] in 1998, making a brief performance in ''[[Double Team (film)|Double Team]]''.
After working briefly in [[Cinema of the United States|Hollywood]], he returned to Hong Kong. Hung was action director in [[Chin Siu-tung]]'s ''[[Blacksheep Affair]]'' and again in Tsui Hark's 2000 film, ''[[Time and Tide (2000 film)|Time and Tide]]'' starring [[Nicholas Tse]].
He later returned to Hollywood as stunt choreographer for ''[[The Musketeer]]''.
==Personal life==
Hung is married to Carrie Choy, a former actress, and they have one child. He learned [[English language|English]] by reading books.
