Boisterous Bruiser: Wang-wu may be a huge, burly, muscular brute of a man, who wields a sword as big as he is, but he also has a jolly personality and friendly demeanor in his scenes interacting with Hu-qi and other resistance members.

Died Standing Up: Wang-wu in his final scene. After getting shot by dozens of riflemen, he stood himself upright on the roof of General Chong's mansion and raises his BFS as high as he can as he expires.

BFS: The default weapon for Wang-wu. His giant blade is larger than any other characters' and throughout the movie he uses this weapon to take at least 50 names.
