Johnny Wang Lung-wai, born in Hong Kong in 1948 with family roots in Shandong, was a Hong Kong martial arts actor and action director active from the 1970s to the 1990s who also directed and wrote films. He trained in martial arts from childhood but had little interest in schoolwork and changed schools repeatedly, and was expelled after a fight shortly before graduating. He worked briefly in an office, found the routine unbearable, and — already a music lover — became a professional guitarist, marrying and having a daughter and son in that period. In his mid-twenties he quit the band to advance his career and joined Chang Cheh's Chang Gong studio as a second-intake actor, befriending classmate Bryan Leung. After the studio closed he followed Chang Cheh to Shaw Brothers as an action actor, appearing mostly in Chang's and Lau Kar-leung's films as a villain — often the mortal enemy of Alexander Fu Sheng's characters — and later turning to action choreography. In 1985 Mona Fong promoted him to director; when the original writer of his debut died, he took on directing, writing, choreography and acting himself. He directed several more films before leaving the industry around 2009, and had trained in Hung Gar, karate (third dan), muay thai and western boxing.
