15-6-09 : OCEAN DEEP

 

Thoughts inspired by Chen Tai Chi training with Hou Sifu

I've been passionate about martial arts and martial arts movies for as long as I can remember. The two aren't, as you might imagine, necessarily inclusive. I've met dozens of kung fu movie fans who have never trained in martial arts in their lives. Simil...Read more

8-6-09 : THE MAN WHO WOULD BE CAINE

 

Memories of David Carradine

"(Death is) an end, perhaps, as waking is an end to sleep"  Carradine, as Caine, in the Kung Fu episode 'Superstition' .

The Korean comedian Margaret Cho once observed, in Rolling Stone magazine, that the TV series 'Kung Fu' should have been call...Read more

6-5-09: SHANGHAI EXPRESS (part two)

 

On location for Teddy Chen's Bodyguards and Assassins, and my turn to play the Queen's Road Ripper.

Still recovering from the M1NT party of the night before, I checked out of the hotel and headed over to the studios where my old friend Teddy Chen is shooting his film Bodyguards and Assassins (formerly known as Dark October).  Its being shot at the same studios where they shot Ip Man and Fearless, and where I'd previously visited the set of Warlords.

I first worked with Teddy Chen when ...Read more

5-5-09 : Shanghai Express

 

Visiting China's second city (part one)

Given that our company made a film called 'Shanghai', you'd think I'd have spent more time in that city than I have. In fact, our 'Shanghai' was shot in London and Bangkok, and I've only been there for the film festival and to visit other people's sets. I caught a midday flight out of Hong Kong, and arrived at the Ritz-Carlon mid-afternoon. To my shame, I don't speak Mandarin, so I called on the services of fellow A-n-Der Shell Zhu to h...Read more

4-4-09 : Chips off the old block learn to rock

 

Hitting The Fifties with the terrible trio...

Its a sad fact that I'm reaching the same age as my favourite Hong Kong hangout, The Fifties.

This off the beaten track hole in the wall is situated on the 3rd floor of the California Entertainment Building on D'Aguilar Street in Lan Kwai-fong. It has a rocking house band, The Magic Touch, and they actively encourage patrons to sing.

(Some so-called friends of mine go "Oh, its just karaoke...", but, no, its a live ...Read more

Ann Hui knocks down a Red Cliff!

prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" / 

This year the Hong Kong Film Awards returned to their familiar venue at the Cultural Centre in Tsim Sha Tsui.

Day 2 of the Hong Kong Film Market

 

 

The second day of Filmart showed no major decline in the floor traffic and buzz of projects pitched, pondered and passed upon.
