2009 HKIFF Opening Ceremony / "Shinjuku Incident" World Premiere - 3

More pics from the opening ceremonies of HKIFF and the World Premiere of Derek Yee's film 'Shinjuku Incident' ( 新宿事件).  These pics are from the two stage appearances that the director and stars of the film did. The first was in the main lobby of the convention center in front of the press, and the second was inside the theater right before the screening.   The pictures basically speak for themselves:

Not a lot of guys can pull off head to two baby blue... but Jackie Chan can!

(in Chinese that says '33rd annual Hong Kong International Film Festival' on the back wall)

Fan Bingbing has everyone laughing (I think this is when she said she gained a lot of weight during this filming because Jackie kept taking everyone out to dinner in Tokyo after filming wrapped).

Daniel gives one of those "What you talking about Willis?' reactions.

The requisite pyrotechnics!

Inside the theater:

Festival Director Shaw Soo Wei welcomes the cast once again before the screening started.

Jackie explains that this is 'No Action Jackie'....

Chin Ka Lok had everyone laughing w/ his statement about his role in the movie...  (Xu Jinglei quite enjoyed his joking).

last but not least, Derrick Yee says "I don't like introducing movies to audiences before the movie starts..."

MORE 'Shinjuku Incident' Content coming later today!  (vids tonight, more photos tomorrow!)
