The Hong Kong Film Award Best Actor Gordon Lam Ka Tung two days ago (the 12th) in the early morning was injured in an accident while working on I DID IT MY WAY (CHIM HUNG), instantly was unable to move and required an ambulance to rush him to the hospital. As of yesterday he still has not been released from the hospital as he was being held under observation. However Ka Tung responded through phone text message. "It's just a minor case!" He said that this time he accidentally injured his lung and thank everyone for their concern and well wishes! The film company responded, "A little bumps and bruises, to ensure safety he went to the hospital to be examined. It's no big deal, thank you for your concern!"

Reportedly when the accident occurred, Ka Tung was working on a gun fight scene on location in Tsing Yi. He was carrying a child actor and running ahead, suspected to have lost his balance due to the uneven road surface. He in order to protect the child actor he was carrying suffered an even more severe injury. Because at the time Ka Tung could not move at all, the team could only call an ambulance and rushed him to the hospital. On the set were director Kwan Chi Yiu, action director Chin Kar Lok and actors like Eddie Peng Yu-Yan. Everyone were very concerned about Ka Tung's condition. Yesterday Ka Tung said that he only injured his lung and was a minor case. He hoped to be able to leave the hospital as soon as possible.

Ka Tung in 2017 won the film TRIVISA (SHU DAI JIU FUNG) won his first Hong Kong Film Award Best Actor. This year he has two Best Actor nominations with HAND-ROLLED CIGARETTE (SAU GUEN YIN) and LIMBO (JI CHI) and is even the favorite. Would he be able to attend the event this Sunday? Ka Tung replied, "I don't know yet!"

Ka Tung actually had an accident while working on the film BEYOND THE SIN (NGOK HUNG JI OI) in the middle of last year when he worked on a jump from above in a junkyard. His face grinded again a burlap sack and his forehead was injured. He ended up at the hospital for 10 stitches and had a scar. At the time joked that men would also need to have some scars. This time he was again injured on the set, it was also because Ka Tung cared about his own performance. He also constantly served as the film producer, understood the needs of the production and the shoot. Thus for each dangerous stunt he would try to personally perform it and not use a double. He has not because of becoming a Best Actor become more careful and is rather professional.
