Wong Jing is one of Hong Kong's most prolific, talented and controversial filmmakers. His directorial style, at best, manages to combine commercial appeal and artistic aspects. Most of his films were among the biggest box office hits, partly due to possessing an amazing sense of what would play well. Some of his films have achieved groundbreaking success, artistically as well as financially. His films are so popular that in the mid to late '90s, Wong's movies accounted for as much as thirty percent of the total box office take in Hong Kong. Genre-wise, he's done comedy, drama, romance, action much of today's output. Those wanting to get a bit of a H.K. film industry lesson, while having fun doing it, would be well-advised to check out Challenge of the Gamesters.
Son of Tian-Lin Wang
His favorite films are Its A Mad Mad Mad Mad World, The Godfather Trilogy, The Cincinatti Kid and Die Hard.
Sometime makes cameo appearances in his movies. Such as comedy movies with Stephen Chow.
Attacked outside his offices in 1994 by unidentified assailants. This attack was widely believed to have been retaliation for injudicious remarks, ordered by Triads, or Chinese organized crime figures.
Founded B.O.B. & Partners Co. Ltd. in partnership with director-cinematographer Wai-Keung Lau and writer-producer Manfred Wong. The B.O.B. stands for Best of the Best.
A Chinese Jurassic Park (when asked what film he would make if he could,have an unlimited budget and cast).
From the West, my idol is Norman Jewison - the director who directed The,Cincinnati Kid; which gave me the idea for God of Gamblers. From Asia,Sammo Hung and, of course, Bruce Lee (when asked who are his influences,for films and television).
