The most notable Characters out of these two films that Van was acting as was Blackie from Hong Kong action film The Adventurers. Blackie is seen in several scenes. One scene where Blackie slits the throat of uncle Tung with a knife. One scene where his base of operations gets shut down by the rescuers of Mona, including Wai Lok-yan (protagonist) and Paul ("Get up you punk! Back up!"). One scene where Blackie has a SPAS-12 in hand, a bandage on his forehead, uses a hostage as bait, and kills the hostage with his SPAS-12. Finally, another scene where Blackie collides with Wai Lok-yan in his black car. Blackie's final appearance is when he is recovered, but injured from his car crash and yells out to his fellow assassins to get Wai.
