鄧衍成(Billy Tang Hin-shing,1951年6月18日—2020年7月1日),香港電影導演,以拍攝將極端暴力與色情元素混合的「剝削電影」見稱。他1979年加入麗的電視任助理編導,參與《天蠶變》《天龍訣》《浴血太平山》《甜甜廿四味》等劇集,其間師從導演黎大煒(以《靚妹仔》成名)與賴水清(後以《倚天屠龍記》聞名),累積拍攝實務;1982年升任編導,其後在麗的及亞洲電視執導《大將軍》《唐伯虎三戲秋香》《101拘捕令》等劇,1983年因電視台人事變動一度離職,轉赴新加坡發展。1988年,他與李志毅合導《血衣天使》(Vengeance Is Mine),首次執導長片,該片由關之琳主演,屬強暴復仇題材。1989年,他獨立執導《龍在天涯》,遠赴三藩市拍攝,由李連杰與周星馳主演,成為兩人唯一一次銀幕合作。其後他專攻罪案題材,作品往往以誇張血腥的場面刻畫人性陰暗面,挑戰觀眾的心理底線,因而被冠以「香港第一殺人導演」之名。1992年,他與李修賢合作《羔羊醫生》,取材自真實連環殺手林過雲的案件,由任達華主演,公映後票房理想,並開啟《機密檔案實錄》系列。其餘代表作包括《弱殺》(1994)、《替天行道之殺兄》(1994)、《慈雲山十三太保》(1995)、《烏鼠:機密檔案》、《古惑女之決戰江湖》、《黑獄斷腸歌之砌生豬肉》及《炭燒凶咒》等。他亦擅長改編真實奇案,令作品帶有強烈的紀實感,並在亞洲電視執導《勝者為王》《精武門》《我和殭屍有個約會》等劇集。2000年後他轉往內地,主要拍攝電視電影與劇集,題材橫跨古裝武俠與現代刑偵,2010年代仍持續創作,遺作為合拍劇《飛虎之雷霆極戰》。他以其凌厲的視覺調度,長期成為香港 cult 片影迷研究的對象。2020年7月1日,他因鼻咽癌離世,終年69歲。

Billy Tang Hin-shing (18 June 1951 – 1 July 2020) was a Hong Kong film director known for 'exploitation' pictures that fuse extreme violence with sexual content. He joined Rediffusion Television (later ATV) in 1979 as an assistant director, working on serials such as Reincarnated, Dragon Strikes, Bloodbath on Tai Ping Shan and Sweet Sweet 24, and learned production under directors Lai Tai-wai (who made Nomad) and Lai Shui-ching (later known for the television adaptation of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre) before being promoted to director in 1982; he then helmed ATV dramas including The General, Flirting Scholar and Warrant 101, leaving briefly in 1983 amid a reshuffle and moving to Singapore. In 1988 he co-directed Vengeance Is Mine with Lee Chi-ngai, his first feature, a rape-revenge story starring Rosamund Kwan. The following year he made his solo debut with Dragon Fight, shot in San Francisco and starring Jet Li and Stephen Chow — the only time the two stars appeared together on screen. He then specialised in crime subjects, probing the dark side of human nature through graphic brutality that tested the audience's limits, and earned a reputation as the city's leading director of murder films. In 1992 he worked with Danny Lee on Dr. Lamb, drawn from the real serial-killer case of Lam Kor-wan and starring Simon Yam; it performed well at the box office and began the Secret Files series. Other credits include Red to Kill (1994), Brother of Darkness (1994), The Untold Story of the Thirteen Taipans of Tsz Wan Shan (1995), Underground Judgement, Those Were the Days and the prison drama Chinese Midnight Express. Adept at adapting real crimes, he gave his films a strong documentary feel, and at ATV he directed series such as Who's the Winner, Fist of Fury and My Date with a Vampire. From 2000 he shifted to the mainland, mainly making television films and series spanning period martial arts and modern crime stories, remaining active into the 2010s; his final work was the co-produced series Flying Tiger III. His forceful visual staging has long been studied by Hong Kong cult-cinema fans. Billy Tang died of nasopharyngeal carcinoma on 1 July 2020, aged 69.
