Biography |
|
Ricky Hui was a correspondent for the French Press Agency (AFP) in HK. He joined his brothers and made with them The Private Eyes in 1976, the story of a tight and grumpy private detective who investigates various adultery cases. The film was again written and directed by Michael, the brain of the trio, and it was a huge success all over Asia and in Japan in particular. To achieve this result, Michael polished the most typical aspects of the Cantonese humour and made mostly visual gags, which were more universal. The trio made another couple of movies together, The Contract (the trio in TV shows, 1978) and Security Unlimited (the trio in a security company, 1981).
Ricky Hui carried on playing second role sometimes by Michael side, but also in various John Woo's comedies Money Crazy (1977), From Riches To Rags (1980), Plain Jane To The Rescue (1982), To Hell With The Devil (1982) and other ghost and vampire films such as Haunted Cop Shop 1 & 2 (1987 & 1988) and Mr Vampire (1985).
Brother of Sam Hui Koon Kit, Michael Hui Kun Man and Stanley Hui Koon Miu.

Last sad news : November, 8th 2011, Ricky Hui was found dead by another brother Stanley Hui, after suffering a heart attack. He was 65 years old. |
