Clarence Fok Yiu-leung (1955–2024) was a Hong Kong director and producer who occasionally appeared in cameo roles. A graduate of the Hong Kong Polytechnic's design school, he joined RTV's training course in 1977 for six months of directing instruction, worked as an assistant director and moved to Television Broadcasts as a director in 1978. He shot his first feature in 1980, directed a 1981 youth drama starring Danny Chan and Leslie Cheung, and was promoted to producer at the station that same year; he left in 1984 to work full time in film. Known for quick thinking and speed, he made one of the earliest time-travel pictures and the first Hong Kong film shot in Moscow, and directed two very different Category III films, the first of which became an internationally celebrated cult classic that American director James Gunn has cited as a major influence. He also served as creative planner for Johnny Mak's production company, and from 2000 worked mainly on mainland television dramas. He died at Shatin Hospital on 1 February 2024, aged 68.
