Character evaluation

From 1987 to the beginning of the 21st century, Charlie Cao, along with Anita Mui, Jackie Chan, Stephen Chow, Jackie Cheung, Maggie Cheung, Andy Lau and other first-line stars, starred in more than 100 funny police and bandit films, which is definitely a high-yield actor. Among the many roles he plays, he always plays the villain, which can be regarded as a villain banner of Hong Kong films. (Sina entertainment review) Charlie Cao is a Hong Kong comedian who impresses the audience most by playing the role of an abominable beast in clothes and a snob who is often teased. Charlie Cao's acting skills are very poor. He plays the role of a man who is impatient and looks like a monkey. He usually grins obscene. When he does it, he grins his teeth, bares his nose and glares at his eyes. (online review of Jinyang)
