Editing Sam Hui (section)

===Film===
Hui signed a contract with [[Orange Sky Golden Harvest|Golden Harvest]] in 1971.{{Sfn|Yip|1994|p=12}} On a personal note, Hui is closer to his middle brother Ricky (deceased 8 November 2011) than to their oldest brother Michael. Sam and Michael reportedly fell out with each other after their pre-1985 successes.{{Citation needed|date=May 2021}} However, in Michael's ''[[Chicken and Duck Talk]]'' (1988), Hui appeared in a short 1-minute cameo, playing the role of himself as [[master of ceremonies]] at the grand opening of Danny's Chicken, and contributed to its theme song for its end credits entitled "You Have Your Say" ({{lang|zh|你有你講}}). Then in 1990, the three brothers reunited in ''[[Front Page (film)|Front Page]]'', a lampoon on Hong Kong's sometimes over-zealous entertainment news industry. Hui also collaborated with several popular singers such as [[Leslie Cheung]] both musically and on-screen culminating in the hit single written by Hui and composed by Cheung entitled ''Silence is Golden'' ({{lang|zh-hk|沉默是金}}), which Cheung also sung as a solo track on his 1987 album, ''[[Hot Summer (album)|Hot Summer]]'', as well as the catchy tune, ''I've Never Been Afraid'' ({{lang|zh|我未驚過}}) in 1989 as the end theme for ''[[Aces Go Places 5: The Terracotta Hit]]''.

Hui also starred in the ''[[Aces Go Places]]'', a series of Hong Kong action–comedies in the 1980s, with [[Karl Maka]]. The theme song for his 1986 action movie ''[[Aces Go Places IV]]'' a.k.a. Mad Mission 4: You Never Die Twice, was "[[A Little TLC]]" with Cantonese lyrics by Lin Zhenqiang (title: "Xin Si Si") and it was  one of RTHK's Top 10 Gold Songs in 1986<ref>1986 RTHK Top 10 Gold Songs Awards</ref> as well as the winner of the 9th Chinese Golden Melody Awards<ref>https://ent.sina.com.cn/y/2007-01-19/17511418520.html</ref> and "Best Original Film Song" at the second Hong Kong Film Awards.<ref>https://www.hkfaa.com</ref>

He was once seriously injured while filming ''[[The Legend of Wisely]]'' in [[Tibet]] due to lack of oxygen, thereafter falling very ill and many of his fans pointed out that this near fatal accident may have been pivotal on his decision to retire as they superstitiously believed that he was haunted by a spirit.{{Citation needed|date=May 2021}}
