Filmography

Feature films

Regarding Wong's early work as a screenwriter, film scholar Peter Brunette noted that "different transcription systems from Chinese make compiling a filmography for a Chinese director an exercise in creativity and hope."[1] Wong also claims to have contributed to c. 50 film scripts without official credit so a full filmography is difficult to provide.[2]
