Yuen Wah himself appeared later on in the equally classic “No dogs and Chinese allowed” park scene as a smirking Japanese who is at the receiving end of Bruce’s fist after unwisely spouting a denigrating insult.
Yuen Wah only appeared late in the movie, had less than 10 minutes of screen time and only had three brief lines, but the way he looked, acted and moved was imminently eye catching.
Wah trounces a couple of people in the movie but engages in only a brief fight testing his son; loving dad that he is by a sneaky attack with a rod, a chain and a knife.

 Hong Kong Cinema - Hero 1997, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Yuen Biao
Yuen Biao (Prodigal Son, Knockabout) plays a major role as the triad leader Tam See and one of several members of the Seven Fortunes opera troupe involved in the production, others include Yuen Tak, Yuen Wah and the direction by Corey Yuen.
Both Yuen Biao and Kaneshiro are being continuously betrayed and ambushed by Yang's henchmen, but by the time these encounters occur any emotion or concern for the leads has already been extinguished.
Yuen Wah is a superb fighter and the thought of Yuen Biao, Yuen Tak and Yuen Wah being choreographed by Corey Yuen is mouth-watering, but remains another unfulfilled opportunity.

 YUEN Qiu
Biography: Yuen Qiu has the distinction of being one of very few female stunt actors in Hong Kong during the 1970s, although she will now likely be remembered best as the chain-smoking landlady in Stephen Chow's martial arts comedy Kung Fu Hustle.
She was given the name "Yuen Qiu" as a performance name that she would continue to use professionally to honor her master.
Yuen Qiu's first break into feature film came in 1973 when she was cast in Not Scared to Die, an early Jackie Chan film.

Yuen Wah plays a villainous rapist who manages to unlock a magical time machine that transports him to the future.
Yuen Biao finds modern day Hong Kong a bit of a culture shock and this isn't made any easier by an exploitative hooker played by Maggie Cheung who treats him almost as her personal slave.

 Amazon.ca: Hero: DVD: Corey Yuen,Takeshi Kaneshiro,Biao Yuen,Jessica Hester,Wah Yuen,Tak Yuen,Valerie Chow   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
As thousands of refugees make their way from Shantung to Shanghai, Ma Wing Jing (Takeshi Kaneshiro) and his brother Ma Tai Cheung (Yuen Wah) follow the horde in hopes of finding a better life in China's largest city.
When Ma Wing Jing discovers that the whole of Shanghai is run by a mere two triad bosses, his appetite for power is only exceeded by his unquenchable thirst to make a name for himself in the criminal underworld.
Though it appears that his friendship with triad head Tam See (Yuen Biao) has served well to set him on the fast track to notoriety, Ma Wing Jing's hasty takeover of one of rival crime boss Yang Shuang's (Yuen Tak) provinces soon sparks a desperate and bloody turf war.

Corey was one of Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao's best friends during their days in the Peking Opera School.

 Kung Fu Mahjong (2005)
The film's title and elder stars (Yuen Wah and Yuen Qiu) are an obvious nod to some little film called Kung Fu Hustle, but Wong Jing does more than borrow from Stephen Chow's leftovers.
Wong also calls upon TVB star Roger Kwok to parody his own performance from the TVB drama Square Pegs, and the whole concept of Kung Fu Mahjong is lifted from every other gambling film ever made.
Yuen Wah is Chi Mo-Sai, a professional gambler who's more adept at getting his butt kicked than actually cleaning up at the tables.
