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." Wong also claims to have contributed to c. 50 film scripts without official credit so a full filmography is difficult to provide.
Casting
Wong frequently re-casts actors who he has worked with on previous movies.
