Wong Cho Lam as Bucktooth So in “Rise of the Legend”
In the upcoming kung fu film Rise of the Legend <黃飛鴻之英鴻有夢>, Wong Cho Lam (王祖藍) portrays Bucktooth So, Wong Fei Hung’s loyal friend. For additional comic relief, Cho Lam has to wear a set of custom-made buckteeth, an important characteristic for Bucktooth So.
Despite his comedic appearance, director Roy Chow Hin Yeung (周顯揚) wanted the script to speak for itself and did not want Cho Lam to be too funny. Cho Lam explained, “My appearance is a great help. We have many action as well as dramatic scenes. My appearance can fine-tune the atmosphere a bit, to allow room for the audience to breathe.”
Cho Lam revealed that his character, Bucktooth So, and Eddie Peng’s (彭于晏) character, Wong Fei Hung, were not friends initially and “fought like street punks.” However, after going through several experiences together, the two spirited young men eventually grew close. Cho Lam said he felt pressured having to fight with Eddie because of his toned body and large muscles.
“Having to face someone as handsome as Eddie definitely makes me envious and jealous, but after working with each other and seeing how much he has worked behind the scenes, I had to ask Eddie how he was able to train his body to look so perfect.”

He’s living up to the bucktoothed/pigtailed chinaman stereotype
Sorry but that is the scariest poster ever. ANd it is not pretty.
It’s between a grunt and a smile lol.
He was never was pretty boy though
Sorry to his fans but… “did not want Cho Lam to be too funny. ” .. shouldn’t be too hard.
good concept…. interesting
Sigh. I surely hope he does not overdo the comedy aspect. I mean jacky cheung did bucktoothed so and he was funny yet realistic.
Yeah it will be toned down, since its not based on his own material.
wow! is this a tv film or a movie film??? 🙂
this guy is not funny at all,i dont know but i cant stand his “funny” acting,its so annoying to watch sometimes.i dont understand why they cast him for this role,he will never be that good as diky cheung. also he is not that talented as i first thought, the script which he wrote in come on,cousin is crap, i already stop watching it after the first week.
note to self, skip all of HK movies for a few years, there is no hope left.
Disagreed totally
I just hope that TVB would stiop giving any roles to Wong Cho Lan. Do they realize that the viewing public abhors to watch his shows !!! Overacting, childish, and in most cases if not all insults your intelligence !!!! He should be put in the Cold Room for Good !!!!
