Watching City Hunter I thought he was at least 6ft! He has really long legs for his height which definitely helps him look taller...


I think 5ft10¼ is fair, today doesn't really look any different...

About 3cm smaller thzn me in person stands loose in photos 5-10.25 is possible not as tall as 179 or as short as 177cm 177.5-178.5 is arguable

@Editor Rob,

Could 5’10.25-10.5” be a Better Fit?

Editor Rob

He’s not much shorter than Kane (Who’s not under 181cm).
I think 5’10.25” would fit him better, Always looked a Strong 5’10” guy.

What do u think Rob?
Editor Rob
There's a chance...at times his posture doesn't seem that great, maybe even a fraction of height has been lost given his age and all the fighting and real stunts he's been doing in films.

@Editor Rob,

Well if someone like DMEYER (who we all know is a legit 5'11.5" guy) met Gary and said he's 3cm shorter, then Gary would be 5'10.25".
I think that would be a fair mark for him, he still looks 5'10-10.5" range next to other celebs, he's more of a Strong 5'10er than someone like Scott Adkins!

Rob, could 5'10.25" be closer?

You could make a case for a strong 5ft 10, though I wouldn't argue Gary looked like a 5ft 11 guy, overall that seems too high for him.

@Editor Rob,

Is over 5'10" flat possible?

I feel he's much more of a strong 5'10" guy (like 10.25" or 10.5") rather than someone like Scott Adkins (weak 5'10" imo).

What's your thought on this?
Josh Jeffords said on 8/Jan/17
Been watching this guy since the early 90s he always looked above average.
He was often in great shape too no idea where lean skinny is coming from.
I feel peak he was 5 10.5 to 5 11 good build 190 210, heavier than Don wilson.
His acting has always been weak makes good thug that's about it.
Andrew M said on 21/Feb/15
I'm surprised Gary hasn't done better as a leading man, with his martial arts ability and the fact he's a decent enough looking bloke. Not his fault the dialogue in "Epicentre" wasn't great.
Perhaps he just couldn't master an American accent? Dig, dig, Hollywood!
Dmeyer said on 6/Jul/14
Thanks rob i think strong 5ft10 flat is good he is probably 177.5-178cm night Like a légit 5'10 no more , he dosnt dip under 5'10 thaugh from wath i saw
Dmeyer said on 6/Jul/14
Rob please look again i think he realy could be just. Solid 5ft10 Like 10.25in at best he was shorter than Aaron eckart in person 5'10.5 is too high i think he Wakes at 5'11 5'10-10.25 in night
Editor Rob
maybe 5ft 10 flat is nearer after another look
Dmeyer said on 3/Jul/14
Solid 3cm shorter than me in person Max 5'10.25 not shorter than 5'10
Elfoersaan said on 30/Jun/14
Gary Daniels looked virtually the same height as Jackie Chan in City Hunter (1993). He was 3 cm taller max! Either Chan is/was taller than 174 cm or Daniels is shorter than 179 cm. Also pictures of Daniels with Snipes and Stallone (sure they are lifters) tells another story. Gary Daniels is 178 cm tops!

Hi Rob, if Gary Daniels is 5'10.5 and Eric Roberts is only 5'8.5, what do you make of these photos:

Click Here plus 6'1 Steve Austin

I think Daniels maybe stoops/bows his head a little in photos, but I still think he's a legit 5'10 - so maybe Roberts is taller than listed, or perhaps wears lifts - but doesn't seem so in his photo with you! I'm confused!

Editor Rob

This drew my attention as I'm a fan of Gary Daniels - and happen to be an honest 180cm myself!

Click Here

Quite a few pictures here with Eric Roberts (178), Jackie Chan(174), Jet Li(168), Stallone(???!), and a few others - all them say to me that 180cm/(5'11) seems a little too tall for Daniels. I think he comes off taller than he is due to his lean physique.

In particular, Cary-Hiroyuki-Tagawa (the one who always plays the stereotypical asian villain) is listed as 180cm (5'11) on i_mdb - he is clearly taller than Daniels in this photo - so maybe Daniels is my like 1756cm (ish).
