Ti Lung was named "Three Dragons of Kung Fu Movies" along with the legendary Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan. He specialized in playing heroic characters that are vigorous and righteous, which earned himself the title "Standard Hero".

As a child, he started his apprenticeship in a tailor shop, and also received martial arts training from Chu Wan, a well-known Wing Chun teacher. In 1968, Ti Lung enrolled into the Shaw Brothers Performing Arts Training School. His extraordinary acting ability won him the leading role in Chang Cheh's 1969 film Dead End through the internal audition.

Director Chang has mentioned that the combination was perfect as their styles complement each others to give the best dramatic effects. The many films they co-starred in included Have Sword, Will Travel (1969), Vengeance (1970) and Heroic Ones (1970). Ti Lung's majestic presence, charismatic charm as well as powerful emotional performance have earned him acclaimation from all over Hong Kong, Taiwan, and South East Asia.
