Corey Yuen
Corey Yuen (chinesisch 元奎) war ein chinesischer Stuntman, Schauspieler, Filmregisseur, Filmproduzent und Kampfkünstler. Des Weiteren war er auch als Martial-Arts- und Action-Choreograph tätig, u. a. für Filme wie The Transporter 2, Red Cliff oder Shaolin.
Yuen war sowohl in Hongkong als auch in Hollywood tätig.
Als Kind besuchte er Yu Jim-yuens Pekinger Oper- und Schauspielschule in Hongkong, wo er seine späteren Kollegen Jackie Chan (Yuen Lau), Sammo Hung (Yuen Lung), Yuen Biao, Yuen Mo, Yuen Qiu, Yuen Tai, Yuen Tak und Yuen Wah kennen lernte, und gehörte zur damals im chinesischen Film- und Opernkreis bekannte Theater- und Akrobatiktruppe The Seven Little Fortunes (七小福 – „Die Sieben Kleinen Glückssterne“).
Sein Tod wurde erst am 12. August 2024 der Öffentlichkeit preisgegeben, u. a. durch Jackie Chans Microblog auf Weibo zum 65. Jubiläumsfeier der Yuen-Familientruppe der Peking-Oper (元家班 Yuán Jiā Bān) in Peking.
