Biography

Alexander Lo, a renowned martial artist, made a name for himself in the world of Tae Kwon do, winning the prestigious Taiwan 1978 championship. This accomplishment paved the way for his transition into the film industry, courtesy of his older brother, actor Tong Lung, who introduced him to the esteemed director Robert Tai.

Lo's cinematic journey was marked by his frequent collaborations with Tai, with whom he shared a creative partnership that spanned multiple films. Notably, Lo worked on a series of Ninja-themed movies, including Wu Tang vs. Ninja (1987),The Super Ninja (1984),Shaolin vs. Ninja (1983),Ninja Condors (1987),and Mafia vs. Ninja (1985). His repertoire also included Shaolin films, such as Shaolin Chastity Kung Fu (1981) and the iconic Shaolin vs. Lama (1983).

In 1984, Tai directed Lo in the ambitious nine-hour epic, Ninja: The Final Duel (1986). Following this project, Lo decided to step away from acting, but he continued to be involved in the film industry as an action choreographer. Lo's partnership with Robert Tai endured, and he worked on films such as Fist of Legends 2: Iron Bodyguards (1996).

Lo's professional path was also marked by his close friendship with African-American kick-boxer Eugene Thomas, with whom he frequently collaborated. In these films, Lo and Thomas often played contrasting roles, either as a black and Asian duo or as arch enemies, showcasing their impressive martial arts skills and adding depth to the cinematic narratives.
