五虎將 Five Tigers is what they are called, the five young and rising stars of
TVB in the early 80s. Even though they were called Five Tigers, they
had only worked in two productions - a mini-series <Yang's Sega
(1985)>, a reunion movie <Tigers (1991)>. Tony was the
youngest of the Five Tigers, he actually only paired with Andy and
Felix, to a small extent. Other than their screen appearances,
Five Tigers are not really close buddies. Felix and Miu Kiu Wai have
been good friends for years, but otherwise they all have their own sets
of friends outside of the group. Incidentally, the name of Five Tigers has more
symbolic meaning
- it marks the highlight of TVB at the golden 80s when they had an unusual crop of talents and star powers.
