Yuan Kui is a banner in the action movie industry. As a representative figure in Hong Kong's martial arts instruction circle, his style is more realistic than Cheng Xiaodong, but more "floating" than Yuan Woo-ping. He is good at designing powerful, elegant and beautiful martial arts movements, which can embody the essence of Chinese martial arts.

Much of the credit for Michelle Yeoh's convincing punching and kicking skills in "The Royal Sisters" must be attributed to Yuen Kui's direction and his deft use of camera angles.

In the action film "Ma Yongzhen" independently directed by Yuan Kui, Takeshi Kaneshiro's fierce and swift skills left a deep impression on the audience.

Yuan Kui is not only suitable for directing single fights, such as the gas room fight in "The Bodyguard of Zhongnanhai"; he is also suitable for shooting melee scenes with hundreds of people, such as the melee in "Fang Shiyu". Yuan Kui designed them to be well-organized and orderly. .

As an actor, Yuen Kui has appeared in classic Hong Kong films many times, such as "Fist of Fury" and "The Gambler". But his most impressive role was as Li Guobang in "Fang Shiyu 2", where he always kept the mantra "safety first" on his lips.
