Filmography

Action Jackson (1988)

Synopsis Leong's Role Leong's Dialogue Leong Dies
A tough Detroit cop (Carl Weathers) goes on a manhunt for drug dealers. Dellaplane's Chauffeur
The head honcho Dellaplane's chauffer and right hand man. He is only visible for a couple of minutes, total. First, there's a brief closeup of him watching Craig T. Nelson as he whoops the hell out of one of his karate students. A short while later, the villain finds it necessary to shoot Sharon Stone through the gut after she has fallen for the hero. Leong bursts in the door, gun in hand, to see what the trouble is.
Once the karate kid has been severely beaten, Dellaplane tells Leong to take him away — thus leading to his only dialogue in the film: "Yes, sir." During one of the climactic battle scenes. He only has time to show off a few martial arts tornado kicks before some large black man puts a bullet in the poor guy.

Beverly Hills Cop 3 (1994)

Synopsis Leong's Role Leong's Dialogue Leong Dies
A ruthless cop (Eddie Murphy) searches a large theme park for a money counterfeiter. (nameless mook)

Big Trouble in Little China (1986)

Synopsis Leong's Role Leong's Dialogue Leong Dies
Trucker Jack Burton (Kurt Russell) ends up in the wrong place at the wrong time when his friend recruits him for a rescue mission into the depths of Chinatown. Wing Kong Hatchet Man
One of Leong's most remembered roles is that of one of the lead Wing Kong thugs. This role provides Leong more screen time and action than most of his "nameless thug" roles: he battles yellow turbans in an alleyway, twirls his cleavers with great skill, and fights for his life with a pole arm in the climactic battle.
A raucous scream as the alley fight begins. In the final battle, when a good guy slices open his belly, and his insides become his outsides.

Bill And Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989)

Two high school dufuses (Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter) are granted the gift of a time traveling phone booth so that they can pick up historical figures for a major school report. Genghis Khan
The great Mongolian barbarian, Genghis Khan. This role may be one of his most recognizable roles ever. In the movie, he is brought to 1988 to help two boys with their history report.

Grunts and Mongolian chatter. He also says "Bogus!" when he and Billy the Kid are surrounded by police on an ice rink. In 1227 AD.

Black Rain (1989)

Synopsis Leong's Role Leong's Dialogue Leong Dies
A ruthless cop (Michael Douglas) hunts down members of the Japanese Yakuza. (nameless mook)
A bad guy. In the final siege on the enemy base, it shows a few guys with coolie hats, walking around in back, talking to each other. Then one of them promptly removes a handgun from his shirt and blows away one of the guards. He then takes off his hat to reveal that it is Al Leong (cue dramatic music). It's hard to tell his exact role, but apparently he is posing as a gardener before silently doing away with one of the other bad guys. But a few seconds later he's trying to make his getaway when the good guy sidekick guns him down.
Something muttered in Japanese. Gunned down like a dog — by the sidekick! — while trying to get away.

Synopsis Leong's Role Leong's Dialogue Leong Dies
Two brothers that get dragged down into an underworld of cage fighting. Unfortunately, one of the brothers (Lou Ferrigno) was wounded in the Vietnam War, creating sort of an Of Mice and Men dynamic between the characters. "Tiger Joe" Lowell
When it starts, there is an undercover reporter who is secretly taking pictures of the cage matches in an underground arena. She snaps a few shots, and turns to see that Al Leong (extreme closeup) is watching her intently. So she takes off in her car. And big Leong steps out of the shadows to watch her go, lighting himself a cigarette. There are a few more gratuitous closeups before he finally confronts this female reporter, cornering her in a busy street. He takes her to the enemy hideout and reports to Mr. Yin (the head honcho) while he's in the middle of a conference. Unfortunately, one of the men there seems to recognize him and delivers a crushing blow to Leong's crotch, accusing him of being a cop. So he's hauled off to the little prison there, along with the reporter and one of the brothers who has been captured. So the three of them team up and escape, then go running through the bad guy hideout in search of the less-intelligent hero. One thing leads to another, and in the end there is a violent shootout in the arena.

"Do you really think you're fooling anyone, Miss Garrett?" - Leong to the reporter when he catches her taking the pictures.

"Yeah, there's a lieutenant that keeps a close eye on me, but by the time he figures out I'm in trouble it may be too late. I've already reported in for the day. He won't expect to hear from me again 'til tomorrow. Maybe he'll hear the shots. I hate to change the subject, but do you notice how the cheering has stopped? The first fight must be over." - Leong's essay while trying to make chit chat with the other prisoners.


"Look, Yin. This guy may be bleeding internally. We need a doctor." - to the enemy after bailing the hero from the ring.


"And if he loses?" - to the villain while discussing the fate of the heroes.

Not only was Leong a good guy, but he lived.

A group of terrorists lead by Alan Rickman take over an office building to steal the contents of the safe. Uli

It's his job to place the explosives on the roof to blow the hostages to smithereens. Unfortunately, some cowboy from New York plugs him on his way back from the roof.
Such classic lines as "You got it." and "Move it! Come on! Let's Go!" Toward the end while returning from the roof, shot by McClane (Bruce Willis).

He gets fired towards the end, but nevertheless survives, and makes it to the very end scene.
A bunch, but it's all said in context with his counterpart, Jeff Imada, as they are trying to find work after being fired. They have signs saying that they will "hench for food." Leong lives to hench another day.

A gigantic lizard tears apart Manhattan. (nameless cook)
One of the fishermen aboard the ship at the beginning. He gets a long closeup shortly before the big lizard takes a swipe at him.
Leong's dialogue is lost in the noise from the ship being torn apart. Leong is sitting there, then a gigantic claw swings in front of him, and when it moves away, Leong is gone.

Raven
Raven, the ruthless henchman assigned to steal back the sacred jade from a bunch of Playboy models. He spends most of his time flying after them in a handy little chopper equipped with rockets and machine guns. He kills one of the main characters, and cops a feel as he "pats down the body". After that it's just more flying around and chatting with Kane, the villainous bad guy. This movie has some of the most screen time for him in his career.

Synopsis Leong's Role Leong's Dialogue Leong Dies
A tough New York City cop (Dolph Lundgren) investigates a series of murders that have been performed by a belligerent mullet-wearing alien being. Luggage Salesman
For some reason, an extraterrestrial packing a Calico isn't enough of an enemy in this film. So why not throw in a drug dealer as well? Leong plays an Asian luggage salesman who has apparently been dealing some sort of illegal substance. When Dolph goes under cover to investigate, Leong makes the typical movie mistake and pulls a gun on him instead of going quietly. In an unusual turn of events, this doesn't result in Leong's immediate death at the hands of the cop, and Leong is able to make his escape (but not for long).
"Don't be foolish. Tell the white boys to kiss my ass." - just before exiting the shop. Just after leaving the shop. The hero (Dolph Lundgren) pursues Leong a few feet only to find his body propped up against an alley wall. It is unclear what exactly happened to him, but it would be a safe bet to say that the seven foot tall alien had something to do with it.

Nothing but a death grunt as he is done in by rocky road. Leong fires several rounds with a pop-up machine gun before taking an ice cream cone to the head. Leong cements his reputation as an actor of quality on-screen-deaths, by dying from an ice cream cone and making it convincing.

A kid (Brandon Lee) is hunted by dueling mobs after witnessing a murder. Minh
Minh, the Asian gangster's right hand man. He gets plenty of screen time to himself in this one, including the scene in which he breaks into the jail to assassinate the rival bad guy with ninja stars.
He doesn't say a word, but he is almost always in the background to back his boss. Leong is the second to last one to die in this movie. He has a no holds barred fistfight with Brandon Lee, giving him plenty of opportunity to show off his martial arts skills against this black belt legend. As Leong's deaths go, this one is very satisfying -- at least he gets a fighting chance. He does pretty damned well, too; better than anyone else Lee faces in the movie.
