Like her “Kung Fu Hustle” co-star Yuen Wah, Yuen Qiu was one of the famous Seven Little Fortunes (the childhood Peking Opera performing troupe which ... included Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung). She started her martial arts training in the Peking Opera school at the age of 10. After 7 years of training, Yuen Qiu began her movie career as a stunt person and became one of the very few well-known stunt women in the Hong Kong movie industry at that time. Her first feature film role was in the 1973 movie “Not Scared to Die”, starring Jackie Chan. Later, she had a brief appearance in the James Bond film “The Man with the Golden Gun”.
