Tony Leung Ka Fai

Jane March, Tony Leung Ka Fai

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

THE LOVER is Fit, for a Woman Like Me!
I love this Movie, I love the story plot, and most of all, I love Jane March and Tony Leung for doing this. Excellent job! Now, it's obvious to me that anytime the title,"THE LOVER" is heard, I glow from the inside. That happened to me the first time I seen it on ON ...

Ashes of Time

Brigitte Lin, Leslie Cheung

Cav Distribution, 1998

Wong Kar Wai's masterpiece, a milestone in art and beauty....Kidnapped and mutilated by impious DVD companies.
(5 stars for "Ashes of Time", 1 star for this or any known DVD edition. What a shame.) One of the best most awarded films and one of the most deep explorations of loneliness and sorrow, justly ranking among the best produced Honk Kong films of the 90's, this ...

Dragon Inn

Tony Leung Ka Fai, Brigitte Lin

Tai Seng, 2001

One of the greatest WuXia films
As a Chinese who has watched a lot of martial arts movies I can tell you this is a true classic! If you like the great HK actions movies like A Better Tomorrow, Die Hard, Once Upon a Time in China you will love it. It's better than Crouching Tiger, and it's much much ...

Election

Simon Yam, Tony Leung Ka Fai

Tartan Video, 2007

First in the series from the modern master of Hong Kong cinema.
Election is the first film in this gangster series (Triad Election is the sequel) from the greatest filmmaker currently working in Hong Kong, Johnnie To. If you aren't familiar with Mr. To's work, imagine John Woo with less action (at least in this film - watch Exiled, ...

3 Extremes

Ling Bai, Pauline Lau

Lions Gate, 2006

3 masterpieces

THE LOVER is Fit, for a Woman Like Me!
I love this Movie, I love the story plot, and most of all, I love Jane March and Tony Leung for doing this. Excellent job! Now, it's obvious to me that anytime the title,"THE LOVER" is heard, I glow from the inside. That happened to me the first time I seen it on ON ...

Zhou Yu's Train

Gong Li, Tony Leung Ka Fai

Sony Pictures, 2004

I Saw It Enouh Times To Love It
Zhou Yu's Train is certainly one of those films that some may not like the first time around. If you read up on it on some websites, they'll even tell you that you might miss a few things. I believe in this also but this movie for me gradually turned into one of my ...

Black Panther Warriors

Alan Tang, Brigitte Lin

Tai Seng, 2002

Gun and swordplay madness
Alan Tang plays Black Panther, a mercenary who gets hired by Melvin Wong to retrieve evidence from the police station. He brings all of his mercenary friends along on the mission and this is a very strange bunch. One guy always has to have a passifier in his mouth or ...

Jackie Chan - The Myth (2007)

Jackie Chan, Hee-seon Kim

Sony Pictures, 2007

One of Jackie Chan's Better Releases, of Late.
Lately I'm on a martial arts kick (no pun intended). Very much enjoyed the visual artistry of fare such as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Curse of the Golden Flower, Hero, Iron Monkey and House of Flying Daggers. But, I've always been a fan of Jackie Chan's "modern" ...

A Better Tomorrow III

Yun-Fat Chow, Tony Leung Ka Fai

Tai Seng, 2000

BETTER TOMORROW III
I OWN ALL OF THE BETTER TOMORROW SERIES, ANY CHOW YUN FAT FAN WOULD NOT OWN JUST ONE, THEY FIT TOGETHER, BUT BETTER TOMORROW III IS MY FAVORITE OF THE THREE. THERE IS A GREAT LOVE STORY, QUITE UNLIKE 1 AND 2(THOUGH THEY ARE REALLY GREAT MOVIES). ONE OF CHOW'S BEST ...

Prison on Fire

Chi Hung Ng, Victor Hon

Tai Seng, 2001

The Shawshank Last Castle Redemption
When I first read about this movie, I was expecting a fire in a prison and Chow and his buddy trying to get out. What I got instead was a beautiful drama about friendship in the midst of prison. It was almost a combination of "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Last ...

Election

Tony Leung Kar-Fai, Simon Yam

Panorama, 2006

Election
The time has come, as it does every two years, for the senior members of Hong Kong's oldest Triad, The Wo Shing Society, to elect a new chairman. Fierce rivalries emerge between the two eligible candidates, Lok, respected by the Uncles is the favourite to win. But ...

The Lover of the Last Empress

Ping Ha, Rongguang Yu

Tai Seng, 1999

The Rise of the Empress Dowager
Previously, I've only thought of Tzu Hsi as the old imperial Empress Dowager who ruled China for a half century. "The Lover of the Last Empress" is not a Chinese action movie. It's a drama chronicling the rise of Tzu Hsi from imperial concubine to Empress. There's a ...

She Shoots Straight

Agnes Aurelio, Fat Chung

Tai Seng, 2004

A personal favorite
Policewoman Mina (Joyce Godenzi) marries into a family of cops and has to gain acceptance from them AND battle a Vietnamese gang. This is a very good action movie (not great) with plenty of gun play and martial arts. Joyce Godenzi is a personal favorite of mine and ...

Victim

Tony Leung Ka Fai, Ching Wan Lau

Tai Seng, 2000

Superb thriller from Ringo Lam.
The Victim once again proves that Ringo Lam is perhaps Hong Kong's greatest director's with a stylish and gripping film that is on par with Lam's Full Contact. This horror/thriller revolves around a computer engineer who is kidnapped by loan sharks...P>Trying to solve ...
