Career
Chow's first film role was with Goldig Films, which is note page 3. Chow appeared in the 1980 TV series The Bund. The film, which chronicled the rise and fall of a gangster in 1930s Shanghai, was a huge success in Asia and made Chow a celebrity.
Although Chow's television success sparked his interest, his aim was to become a film actor. However, his occasional ventures into low-budget films in the 1980s came after Goldig's ones were disastrous. The bulk of Chow's movies produced by Goldig Films under exclusive agreement in the 1970s earned high gross profits of over HK$ 1 million per movie. These figures are higher than those who performed in the early 1980s, including Modern Heroes (), Soul Ash (), and The Bund (). Note the following info is based on a list of movies [1].
He finally came to a conclusion in the 1986 gangster action-melodrama A Better Tomorrow, which swept the box offices in Asia and established Chow and Woo as mega stars. At the Hong Kong Film Awards, A Better Tomorrow awarded him his first Best Actor award. It was the highest-grossing film in Hong Kong at the time, and it set a new bar for Hong Kong gangster films. Chow quit TV entirely for the first time. With his latest photograph from A Better Tomorrow (1987), A Better Tomorrow II (1989), Prison on Fire (1989), A Better Tomorrow (1990), A Better Tomorrow (1991), A Better Tomorrow (1987), Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs (1989), a collection of Quentin Tarantino's "heroic bloodshed" films, including A Better Tomorrow (1990), A Better Tomorrow (1990), The Killer (1990), A Better Tomorrow (1990).
Chow is best known for his portrayal of honorable tough guys, whether cops or criminals, but he has also appeared in comedies like Diary of a Big Man (1988) and Now You See Love (1992) and Love in a Fallen City (1987), for which he was named Best Actor at the Golden Horse Awards. In the 1989 film God of Gamblers, directed by the prolific Wong Jing, in which he was by turns a suave charmer, a broad comedian, and an action hero, he brought together his disparate personae. Many people were taken aback, became extremely popular, broke Hong Kong's all-time box office record, andspawned a number of gambling films, as well as several comic sequels starring Andy Lau and Stephen Chow. The often stern demeanour and youthful appearance of Chow's characters have earned him the nickname "Babyface Killer."
The Los Angeles Times named Chow Yun-Fat "the world's coolest actor." Chow immigrated to Hollywood in an ultimately fruitless effort to imitate Asia's success. Both of his first two films, The Replacement Killers (1998) and The Corruptor (1999), were box office flops. Chow co-produced Anna and the King (1999), but the film failed at the box office. In the 2000 film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Chow accepted Li Mu-bai's role. Both the international box office and the Oscars recognized it as winners. Chow came back to Hollywood and appeared in Bulletproof Monk in 2003. Chow made a surprise appearance in director Dayyan Eng's Chinese rom-com favorite Waiting Alone in 2004, for the first time he had been in a mainland Chinese film. In the film Curse of the Golden Flower, directed by Zhang Yimou, he collaborated with Gong Li in 2006.

Chow was the pirate captain Sao Feng of Pirates of the Caribbean in 2007. However, his participation was forbidden when the film was shown in mainland China, where, according to Chinese unofficial reports, government censors believed that Chow's character "vilified and humiliated" Chinese people.
