Jing Mou Mun
Jing Wu³ Mén
Fist of Fury
The Chinese Connection 1972 Bruce Lee / Lay Siu-Lung (Chen Zhen), Nora Miao (Yuan Le-erh), Lo Wei (Inspector), Robert Baker (Petrov), Hoshimoto Riki (Susuki). Written and Directed by Lo Wei. (Cantonese with English Subtitles). 110 VCD

'A' Gai Waak
'A' Jì Huà
Project A 1983 Jackie Chan / Sing Lung / Chéng Lóng (Dragon Ma), Sammo Hung Kam-Bo / Hóng Jinbao³ (Fei), Yuen Biao / Yuán Biao (Hung Tin Tze), Lau Hak-Suen (Admiral), Dick Wei (Lor Sam Pau), Isabella Wong (Winnie), Mars (Jaws), Cheung Wu-Long, Kuen Wing-Man, Kwan Hoi-San, Lee Hai-Sheng, Tai Po, Wu Ma. Written by Jackie Chan / Sing Lung / Chéng Lóng and Edward Tang. Directed by Jackie Chan / Sing Lung / Chéng Lóng. A 'A' Gai Waak / 'A' Jì Huà / Project A was not merely a breakthrough for Jackie Chan / Sing Lung / Chéng Lóng -- it marked his transition from a kung-fu artist to a comedy-action star who did his own stunts -- but, along with its sequel, it is arguably one of the pinnacles of the modern Hong Kong cinema. Chan plays a coast guard officer in turn-of-the-century Hong Kong doing battle with the pirates who infest the South China Sea. Coming to his aid are Yuen Biao / Yuán Biao, as a police official, and Sammo Hung Kam-Bo / Hóng Jinbao³, as a good-hearted scoundrel. Most of the action takes place on land; the set pieces include a mad bicycle chase through narrow streets, and Chan's famous tribute to Harold Lloyd, in which he dangles from a giant clock, and plummets through two awnings. (Left-Cantonese/Right-Mandarin, No Subtitles). 118 VCD

Afei Zhèng Zhuàn
Days of Being Wild 1991 Leslie Cheung Kwok-Wing (Yuddy), Maggie Cheung Man-Yu / Zhang Man-Yu (Su Lizhen), Carina Lau Ka-Ling / Liu Jialing (Leung Fung-Ying), Andy Lau Tak-Wah/ Liu Dehua (Tide), Rebecca Pan (Rebecca), Jacky Cheung Hok-Yau (Zeb), Danilo Antunes (Rebecca's Lover), Hung Mei-Mei (The Amah), Tony Leung Chiu-Wai (Cameo). Cinematography by Christopher Doyle. Produced by Alan Tang. Written and Directed by Wong Kar-Wai. The film that launched Wong Kar-Wai as Hong Kong's leading art-house director has always been more popular with critics (it swept the Hong Kong Film Awards) than with audiences. Set in Hong Kong in the 1960s, it tells the story of a violent young man (Leslie Cheung Kwok-Wing), who romances and dumps a pair of women, before heading off for the Philippines in search of his birth mother. Andy Lau Tak-Wah / Liu Dehua plays a cop who befriends one of Cheung's castoff girlfriends; later on, as a sailor on leave, he meets up with Cheung in Manila. Days of Being Wild was meant to be the first of two parts, but because of the movie's financial failure, Part II, to have starred Tony Leung Chiu-Wai as a gambler, was never completed. 94 VCD (on order)

Police Story III: Supercop
Supercop 1992 Jackie Chan / Sing Lung / Chéng Lóng (Kevin Chan Ka-Kui), Michelle Yeoh / Yeung Chi-King / Yáng Zi³qióng (Inspector Yang), Maggie Cheung Man-Yu / Zhang Manyu (May), Kenneth Tsang (Chaibat), Yuen Wah (Panther), Ken Lo, Bill Tung Piu / Dong³ Piào (Uncle Bill), Josephine Koo, Wong Siu, Lowei Kwong, Philip Chan, Law Tit, Shum Wai, Yee San Hon, Sze Tsuen Wai, Tuen Wai Lun, Wong Yue Man. Martial Arts Choreographer Stanley Tong Kwai-Lai / Táng Jì-Li³. Executive Producers Jackie Chan / Sing Lung / Chéng Lóng and Leonard Ho Koon-Cheung. Produced by Willie Chan and Edward Tang. Directed by Stanley Tong Kwai-Lai / Táng Jì-Li³. Jackie Chan's Hong Kong cop is teamed up with Michelle Yeoh's straitlaced police inspector from mainland China for an undercover assignment that lands them both inside a drug-smuggling gang, posing as brother and sister. They win the confidence of Panther, a high-ranking gang member, who brings them to Hong Kong to meet the boss; but their cover is blown in Malaysia by Chan's jealous girlfriend. For the climactic chase sequence, which involves a train and a helicopter, Chan and Yeoh both do their own life-threatening stunts. In the slightly cut American version, they also do their own English dubbing. VCD (on order)

Police Story IV: Project S
Supercop 2 1993 Michelle Yeoh / Yeung Chi-King / Yáng Zi³qióng (Inspector Jessica Yang), Yu Rongguang / Yu Wing-kwong (David Chan), Emil Chau Hua Jian / Chow Wah-Kin (Martin Lee), Athena Chu Yun / Zhu Yin (Annie Lee), Louis Fan Siu-Wong (Alan Wong), Jackie Chan / Sing Lung / Chéng Lóng (Inspector Chan) (Cameo Appearance), Bill Tung Piu (Uncle Bill), Eric Tsang Chi-Wai (Robber in drag), Dick Wei Tik (Ah Shuen), Bowie Lam Bo-Yee (George), Alain Guernier (Roger Davidson). Action Coordinators Bruce Law Lai-Yin and Stanley Tong Kwai-Lai / Táng Jì-Li³. Martial Arts Coordinator Stanley Tong Kwai-Lai / Táng Jì-Li³. Executive Producer Leondard Ho Koon-Cheung. Produced by Leung So-Hau and Barbie Tung. Written by Mok Tang Han, Sui Lai Kang, and Stanley Tong Kwai-Lai / Táng Jì-Li³. Directed by Stanley Tong Kwai-Lai / Táng Jì-Li³.Spurred by the runaway success of SUPERCOP, Michelle Yeoh reprises her role of Inspector Yang, a no-nonsense cop from mainland China whose dazzling beauty conceals her sharp mind and martial arts mastery. Sent to Hong Kong to bust up a crime syndicate, Yang is flung into a tailspin when she discovers the gang is headed by her ex-lover. Can Yang find a compromise between her heart and her honor? Performing her own fight sequences and stunts, Yeoh combines grace and fierceness to deliver an unforgettable wallop. Fellow stunt wizard and action superstar Jackie Chan contributes a memorable cameo appearance as his SUPERCOP character foiling a robbery while in drag. Director Stanley Tong Kwai-Lai / Táng Jì-Li³ (STONE AGE WARRIORS) keeps the action hurtling forward with the unrestrained glee of a precociously able child on a joyride.

Dung Che Sai Duk
Dong Xié Xi Dú
Ashes of Time 1994 Leslie Cheung Kwok-Wing (Ou-yang Feng), Tony Leung Ka-Fai (Huang Yao-shi), Brigitte Lin Ching-Hsia (Yin Mu-Rong/Yang Mu-Rong), Tony Leung Chiu-Wai (Blind Swordsman), Carina Lau Ka-Ling / Liu Jialing (Peach Blossom), Jacky Cheung Hok-Yau (Hung Chi), Maggie Cheung Man-Yu / Zhang Manyu (The Woman), Charlie Yeung (Young Girl), Li Bai (Hung Chi's Wife). Action Director Sammo Hung Kam-Bo / Hóng Jinbao³. Cinematography by Christopher Doyle. Written by Louis Cha Liang-Yung (Novel) & Wong Kar-Wai. Produced by Tsai Sung-Lin. Directed by Wong Kar-Wai. This controversial art-house swashbuckler, peopled with characters from the classic Louis Cha Liang-Yung novel The Eagle Shooting Heroes, failed commercially, despite a cast that includes eight of the biggest stars of the Hong Kong cinema. Leslie Cheung Kwok-Wing plays a loner plays a loner who lines up work for assassins-for-hire; Tony Leung Ka-Fai is a young swordsman with a knack for making enemies; and Maggie Cheung Man-Yu / Zhang Man-Yu portrays the woman in the hearts of both men who sets the story in motion with her "wine of forgetfulness." Exquisitely photographed in the Yuli desert of mainland China, the film's narrative unfolds entirely out of sequence -- a device that many viewers find maddening. The movie won multiple awards from the Hong Kong Film Critics Society, including Best Picture of 1994, and picked up a Golden Horse for its cinematography. 100 VCD (on order)

Rumble in the Bronx 1995 Jackie Chan / Sing Lung / Chéng Lóng (Ah Keung), Anita Mui Yim-Fong / Mei Yan-Fang (Elaine), Françoise J.C. Yip Fong-Wa / Ye Fang-Hua (Nancy), Bill Tung Piu / Dong³ Piào (Uncle Bill), Marc Akerstream (Tony), Garvin Cross (Angelo), Morgan Lam (Danny). Written by Edward Tang & Ma Fibe. Directed by Stanley Tong Kwai-Lai / Táng Jì-Li³. Jackie Chan / Sing Lung achieved his dream of American success when New Line Cinema released a dubbed and recut version of this action comedy, shot almost entirely in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. He plays a Hong Kong cop (Ah Keung) who comes to the Bronx to help his uncle sell his grocery store to businesswoman Anita Mui Yim-Fong / Mei Yan-Fang (Nancy), and then sticks around to help Mui protect the establishment from a nasty group of bikers. When the bikers steal diamonds from some mafiosi, however, they find they need to ally themselves with Chan to save their own skins. 104 VCD

Cradle 2 the Grave 2003.02.28 Jet Li (Yahoo! Site, Official Site, IMDB Site) is amazing as always -- the last old school, traditional, kung fu master. Also starring DMX (Exit Wounds) and Mark Dacascos [Le Pact des Loups (The Brotherwood of the Wolf)]. Martial arts choreography by Corey Yuen [Eastern Condors (1986), Righting Wrongs (1986), Fong Sai Yuk (1993) aka The Legend, Fong Sai Yuk 2 (1993), Hero (1997), Kiss of the Dragon (2001), The Transporter (2002)]. Of course not the legendary masterpieces like Jet Li's Hong Kong films, but better than most of his other American movies. Filmed on location at my favorite night club, Le Prive in Koreatown -- the most exclusive night club in Los Angeles ($300 a table, secret password to get in, not to mention the clientele!, but I digress). Grade: B DVD
