The Benny Chan Muk Sing directed SHAOLIN (SUN SIU LUM JI) asked Xiong Xinxin who was best known for his role Club Foot Seven in ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA (WONG FEI HUNG) for help. Even Shaolin Temple's Yanneng was amazed with this elder's extraordinary skills. In one scene Yanneng led Shaolin disciples against Xiong Xinxin, Master Xiong who was
ferocious in the fight took a kick from a stunt man in his right kneecap and aggravated his old wound, leading to him pulling a muscle. He immediately collapsed and could not move. The on the set doctor had to apply ice on his injury.

Everyone originally wanted to send Xiong Xinxin to the hospital for x-ray, but he insisted on continuing. Soon another stunt man injured his finger and lips. The series of injuries that day had him laughing helplessly. "Can anyone tell me if today is Black Friday? On the other
hand, I expect injuries from an action film. Otherwise would I still be considered an action actor?"
