Carl Scott R.I.P (1961-2025)

Carl Scott was working as an extra on Ng See-yuen’s bonkers Bruce Lee exploitation flick, Bruce Lee: The Man, The Myth, in 1976 when producer Pau Ming decided this kid had something special. Scott had studied under Sijo Steve Muhammad, founder of the Black Karate Federation, and he knew several styles of kung fu, which made him more adaptable to Hong Kong action choreography than the “One Punch and Done” karate guys. Pau went to Scott’s mother and asked if her 15-year-old son could come to Hong Kong and star in a movie. She agreed, but insisted he be back in time to start 10th grade.

Soul Brothers of Kung Fu (1977) was the start of Scott’s career. One of Hong Kong’s best screen fighters to come out of the States, you only have to watch him in Soul Brothers to see how fast he was and how much charisma he radiated. Scott would star in two more movies for Eternal Films, paired with Billy Chong, their other charismatic, super-athletic action star who never got enough recognition, and then he retired from filmmaking. He seemed to have taught martial arts, worked as a security guard, and started a family. He passed away in May, 2025, another legend gone.
