Jimmy Wang Yu in Once Upon A Time in China

Postby pjshimmer » Sun Apr 01, 2001 6:53 pm

Recently, I was approached by several people with the<br>same question: Did Jimmy Wang Yu star in Once Upon a Time<br>in China 1? If so, was he Iron Robe Master Yim?<br><br>I saw on the database that Wang Yu was not Iron Yim, but the slave from America, which I am still a little skeptical about. I always thought Wang Yu was Yim, but after some searches I've come to the conclusion that Robe Yim is played by Yan Yee Kwan. However, I thought Wu Ma is the one who played the slave from America. If Wang Yu is the slave, then who could Wu Ma have been?<br><br>

Wang Yu was the slave. Wu Ma appears in the beginning by introducing Aunt Yee to Wong Fei Hung. <br><br>Silver Fox

Thanks. I'll have watch the video again to verify. I swear though, Robe Yim looks so much like Wang Yu! It had me for a long time there.<br><br>
