'''Samuel "Sammo" Hung Kam-bo''' ({{lang-zh|t=洪金寶|j=Hung<sup>4</sup> Gam<sup>1</sup>-bou<sup>2</sup>}}; born 7 January 1952)<ref>{{Cite web |title=Sammo Hung Kam-Bo - Rotten Tomatoes |url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/sammo_hung |access-date=2023-11-05 |website=www.rottentomatoes.com |language=en}}</ref> is a Hong Kong [[actor]], [[martial artist]], [[film producer]] and [[Film director|director]], known for his work in [[martial arts film]]s, [[Hong Kong action cinema]], and as a [[fight choreographer]] for other actors such as [[Kim Tai-chung]], [[Jackie Chan]], [[Yuen Biao]], and [[Yuen Wah]].

Hung is one of the pivotal figures who spearheaded the [[Hong Kong New Wave]] movement of the 1980s, helped reinvent the martial arts genre and popularized the zombie-like [[jiangshi fiction|jiangshi genre]]. He is widely credited with assisting many of his compatriots, giving them their starts in the Hong Kong film industry, by casting them in the films he produced, or giving them roles in the production crew.

Both Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan were often addressed as "Dai Goh", meaning "Big Brother", until the filming of ''[[Project A (film)|Project A]]'' (1983), which featured both actors. As Hung was the eldest of the kung fu "brothers", and the first to make a mark on the industry, he was given the nickname "Dai Goh Dai", meaning "Big, Big Brother", or "Biggest Big Brother".<ref name="WuJing">{{cite web |title=Martial Arts Movies and TV Series - Wu Jing |work=Big, Big Brother Sammo Hung |publisher=Wu Jing.org |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160530121606/http://wu-jing.org/News/M02/2002-02-BigBigBrother_Sammo_Hung.php |archive-date=30 May 2016 |url=http://www.wu-jing.org/News/M02/2002-02-BigBigBrother_Sammo_Hung.php |url-status=usurped |access-date=2008-01-31 }}</ref>
