Biography
If Wong Yu had shaved his head, take some of his fighting skills away, added some acrobatics, and knocked out his top row of teeth, he would have been this guy's double. Not that he can't fight, because he can, just not well enough to handle the Heavyweights of the kung-fu world - Wang Lung-Wei, Wang Jang-Li, or Whang In-Sik. To tell the truth, he couldn't beat Bruce Le, but that's not his job. His job is to make you laugh, and in that case, he was a master at his craft.
He tried to handle the action in Kung Fu, The Invisible Fist, but Yasuaki Kurata, quickly change his mind about that (with a few swift blows, of course). He even tried again, in Bruce Lee's Greatest Revenge, and though he showed some fighting skills, just like that film (unless you wee a fan), you wouldn't remember it. He took the kind of abuse that was meant for the Hero (before he has to go into the mountains to train, in order to take revenge). Yet, his only problem is the beatings just keep on coming, and he just keeps taking them.
He's been around for a long time and his antics have never changed. He's done work for Shaw Bros' (The Deaf-Mute Killer, Restless Cricket), Golden Harvest (Chinese Connection as an extra), and numerous Independent film companies. Some of his best work has been along side (2) of kung-fu's better performers - Bruce Liang (Ruthless Revenge, Incredible Master Beggars) and master villain Ku Feng, who he has worked with him countless times (The 4 Invincibles and the outrageous Crack Shadow Boxers).

One of his better performances, was in the film, Crazy Horse, Intelligent Monkey, fighting along side former Shaw actor, Chi Kuan-Chun. I though he was excellent in Dragon's Never Die, playing Alex Lung's brother as they go around the countryside kicking butt (Lung) and taking names (him). He showed in this film (as well as in Bruce, D-Day At Macau), that he was a top comedic actor and an excellent acrobat. A favorite of mine, he has one of the most recognizable faces, in kung-fu films.
