TVB action drama, Tiger Cubs <飛虎>, has generated much excitement since its broadcast. The 13-episode drama featured thrilling action scenes and showcased the physical power of its Special Duties Unit (SDU) officers. Tiger Cubs cast, Vincent Wong (王浩信), Benjamin Yuen (袁偉豪), and William Chak (翟威廉) recounted the grueling filming process. Each actor had different memorable scenes in the drama. Vincent Wong Sacrifices Pelvis Tiger Cubs was praised for its cinema-like production quality in its action scenes. The actors portraying the SDU officers in the action scenes worked strenuously to achieve such exciting effects. Vincent Wong even sacrificed his pelvis for a car chase scene! Vincent said, “In one scene, I had to roll on the ground to escape from a car. I accidentally landed on a big rock, which shifted my pelvic bone. I received 2 to 3 months of physical therapy afterward!” Benjamin Yuen Remarks on Shower Scenes The running and car chase scenes showcased the superhuman skills of the SDU officers. However, female audiences may enjoy the shower scenes of the young, muscular SDU officers the most! Often praised for his figure, Benjamin Yuen revealed that he was quite body conscious during the filming of the shower scenes, which gathered together a dozen topless men. Benjamin commented on the group shower scenes, “Each actor has a different body figure. It is funny to gather together a group of men together in this manner. The most memorable aspect was that each time the guys filmed these showering scenes, they will do some push ups before the cameras rolled! Ha ha!” William Chak Recalls Dangerous Stunt Like Benjamin Yuen, William Chak was a former Mr. Hong Kong winner, renown for his fit figure. Since Tiger Cubs was his first TVB drama, William’s filming experience was especially eye-opening. Aside from the dangerous stunts involved, patience for a new actor was also criticial. William waited for 6 hours to successfully complete one action scene! William said, “In one scene, we had to climb up the rooftop of a jewelry store to chase after a criminal. Oscar Li (李嘉) and I were asked to be part of the scene. We had to wait 6 hours before it was filmed, in which we jumped from the roof of a first floor building. It is quite memorable!” The hard efforts of the cast of Tiger Cubs are well appreciated by the Hong Kong audience, who has rushed back home on weekend nights to watch the exciting broadcast of each episode!
