    • The One-Armed Swordsman (1967) The One-Armed Swordsman catapulted Wang to stardom, both launching a long-running franchise and defining many of his successive roles.
    • Golden Swallow (1968) This is the sequel to the groundbreaking film Come Drink with Me (1966) starring the first Kung Fu queen, Cheng Pei-Pei. Most western audiences remember Cheng for her role as Jade Fox in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000), but that came after a long career in that spanned over a hundred Wuxia films.
