Biography

After she finished school, Moon joined the RTV television studio – making her debut in a series called Affection on Earth – and went on to appear in a number of series for them during the early 80s.

Her film debut took place in 1981 in the lightweight comedy To Sir with Love. She continued doing television and started doing action scenes on a regular basis in the series - Drunken Fist Boxing. Then came Angel in 1988. With this film the “Girls with Guns” genre was born. The “Girls with Guns” has its fans and its detractors – but there is really nothing like it anywhere else in world cinema. Sure the budgets tended to be small – the plots often substandard – but the actresses in this genre are astonishing and the action is fast, furious and deliriously fun. Seeing women – whether playing the heroine or the villainess – standing toe to toe with men and depending only on their physical abilities to defeat them is a thrill. Many of these action scenes are the equal of any in HK film – and only their regretfully small budgets consigned them to a “B” film status. Angel was a smash hit – and Moon along with her co-star Yukari Oshima were on their way to becoming action stars. As mentioned earlier, Moon had trained in ballet and modern dance – but had also studied kung fu upon becoming an actress under Tsui Siu Ming. So thankfully she was chosen to be one of Charlie’s Angels in this film and her fight scenes are fabulous and brutal – in particular the last one against Yukari. She has stated that she wished she had done more dramatic films – but that was not to be – her course as a femme fatale action queen was set. Over the next six years Moon was to appear in approximately twenty five action films – some classics – some not very good – taking a lot of physical punishment and performing some seriously dangerous stunts. In Devil’s Hunters, an explosion was poorly planned and Moon had to spend a fair amount of time in the hospital.

By 1993 the “Girls with Guns” genre was played out (the box office results in Hong Kong for many of these films was very low and many of these films are much better loved in the West than at home in HK) – the budgets were getting even smaller – often being filmed in the Philippines – and Moon basically walked away from it. She was so typecast by now that it was impossible for her to get other more dramatic roles. Her last film was in 1995 – more a film focused on kung fu children than on Moon – called Little Heroes Lost in China. Moon went back to her first love – dance – she teaches it – and has occasionally been in a TV series.
