* Played with in ''[[Grand Theft Auto San Andreas]]'': His underlings blatantly let Wu Zu Mu, a powerful but blind Chinese gangster, win whenever they play anything, including moving the cup when he plays office golf or lying about their cards in Blackjack, which leads to funny moments when Carl, not caring, beats him regularly. [[Anti-Villain|Judging]] [[Even Evil Has Standards|by his]] [[Affably Evil|personality,]] "Woozie" a nice enough guy, especially to his men, that he probably wouldn't care if his minions beat him or not, but to his experienced mooks them it's better being safe than sorry. |
