Wang Lung-wei (born 1949) is a Hong Kong martial artist, actor, director, producer, and action choreographer, who has starred in over 80 kung fu films, mainly for Shaw Brothers Studios. [1] Wang's first Shaw Brothers film role was as Yu Pi in the 1974 Chang Cheh-directed film Shaolin Martial Arts . [1] This became a pattern, in that he was cast as the villain in the majority of his movies, with Martial Club being a famous exception. In 1985, Wang moved behind the camera, choreographing fight scenes, writing, and directing many movies such as Hong Kong Godfather . He retired from the industry some time before 2009. [1]
