Yue Tau Wan
(Yu Tau Wan)
Actor
When cross-eyed bumpkins were all the rage in Hong Kong martial arts movies,
Yue Tau Wan could be widely seen in various small parts providing comic relief. He
was often paired with his kindred spirit To Shiao Ming, such as the opening scene of
Dirty Kung Fu where they played crooked swindlers out to rob Wong Yu of his
money (and his life).
Other roles include the dopey constable who fights Jackie Chan in a Buddhist
temple in The Young Master, one of Simon Yam's henchmen in The Big Brother,
one of Chan Sing's gang of crooks in the Michael Hui comedy Security Unlimited,
and bad guy John Shum's father in the Sammo Hung classic Pedicab Driver.
Yue Tau Wan can even be glimpsed in Enter the Dragon, as one of the fighters
surrounding Bruce Lee in Han's underground lair, and briefly in John Woo's
The Killer, as a gunman getting blown away by Chow Yun Fat.
