Ray Lui, a formidable screen presence whose career spans decades, has etched his name into Hong Kong cinema through a series of iconic roles that resonate deeply with physical media collectors. Born in Vietnam in 1956 and later settling in Hong Kong, Lui's imposing physique and intense gaze made him a natural fit for the heroic bloodshed genre and triad films that defined 80s and 90s action cinema. Collectors avidly pursue films showcasing Lui's raw talent. His turn as Cripple Ho in the seminal 1991 gangster epic *To Be Number One* is a cornerstone of any serious Hong Kong film collection, frequently seeing deluxe Blu-ray releases due to its enduring popularity. Similarly valuable are his collaborations with Chow Yun-fat and Andy Lau in films like *The Bund* (1980) and *Rich and Famous* (1987), often presenting challenges for completist collectors to find in their best uncut forms on DVD or Blu-ray. With his continued work, including the highly anticipated *Assassin* (2025), Ray Lui remains a vital figure whose prolific career offers a rich vein of collectible cinema, bridging classic Hong Kong action with contemporary thrillers.
