Benz Kong Tao-hoi, born in Hong Kong in 1956, grew up in an acrobatics and magic family: his grandfather was a strongman who performed in Hong Kong from the 1950s, and his parents ran the No. 7 theatre of the Lai Yuen amusement park, training successors through their troupe. Third of six children, he practised acrobatics while at school and performed from childhood alongside singers such as Anita Mui. He entered films in 1975 as a stunt double and bit-part player and became a full action director in 1983. His conjuring background made him a sought-after gambling-technique adviser during the 1990s poker-film boom, and he worked for years with Tung Wai and followed Sammo Hung into action design, co-founding a production company in 1991. He won his first Golden Horse nomination for action choreography in 1994 and a second in 2004, made his directing debut in 2007, and was nominated again at the 61st Golden Horse Awards in 2024.
