Austin Wai
aka Hui Tien Sze
He was a great screen-fighter and a competent actor with star-quality looks, yet Austin Wai is likely remembered primarily as the brother of the Fabulous Kara Hui. This is (sadly) due to Austin being a member—and probably the president—of the Born Too Late club. These were the guys that if born five years earlier would be household names amongst fans of action cinema. The Born Too Late factor and other would-be greats will be explored further in later articles, but in the meantime, check out Austin in Gang Master or Five Superfighters for a taste of what he might have been capable of with an earlier start.
