Plays Ding Peng, one (along with Liu Chia-Liang) of the disciples of Long-Armed Devil (Yeung Chi-Hing), who kill several of the disciples of Qi Rufeng (Tien Feng). Incidentally, Tong designed the sword-lock weapon for the movie, and along with Liu served as fight choreographer.

Shaolin Prince (1982):
Plays the twin-sword-wielding monk that Zi-Tai (Derek Yee) must fight to prove himself when he arrives at Shaolin. Also served as one of six fight choreographers for the film.
