Along with Yuen Biao (who performed the acrobatics/stunts), Kim played Bruce's character with ease and he proved to be such a force with producers, that they used him again a few years later. The film would be a sequel to Game of Death and Kim would not only double for Bruce Lee again, but get the role of his brother. The film was Tower of Death. In the finale, Kim took on fellow Korean Hwang Jang-Lee in one of the best choreographed fight scenes in Hong Kong cinema history. Kim was known as "Tang Lung" at the time. In 1982, Kim starred alongside a Jackie Chan look-alike named Jackie Chang in a cheap exploitation movie called "Fist Of Death" (also called "Bruce & Jackie To The Rescue"), where they respectively played characters ripped off from Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan's most iconic characters. In 1985, TOD producer Ng See-Yuen was looking for an actor to play the ghost of Bruce Lee in his crossover film No Retreat, No Surrender, which marked the film debut of Jean Claude Van Damme. Kim was chosen again to play Lee to Kurt McKinney's bullied martial artist. After this movie, Kim returned to Korea where he is a businessman.
