Easily Lau Kar Leung.

A real martial arts master. LKL's family lineage can be traced all the way back to original shaolin disciples and his father studied under Lam Sai Wing, Wong Fei Hung's star pupil.

His family is the originator of the Hung Gar fist - the style most often seen in the kung fu pian.

Not only is he an amazing martial artists, but he has made some of the most amazing films of all time:

36th Chamber of Shaolin
Heroes of the East
Disciples of the 36th Chamber
Legendary Weapons of China
Martial Club
Mad Monkey Kung Fu
Dirty Ho
Challenge of the Masters

Also, LKL, along with Tong Gaai, choreographed many of the best Shaw Brothers kung fu flicks.

It is no exaggeration to say that without the Lau family, martial arts cinema would not be the same as it is today. LKL shaped the genre more than any other single person.
