The martial arts movie ‘Ip Man’, starring Donnie Yen as the legendary master of Wing Chun and teacher of Bruce Lee, goes from strength to strength. What an amazing film it is, evidence that prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /Hong Kong can still turn out a great kung fu flick! If we were back in the 70s, it would already be in theatres in the US, re...Read more
prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" / Thoughts on Woo and me… (part two)
I reconnected with John and Terence when I attended the American Film Market in LA, a couple of years back. Red Cliff was then in its planning stages. One evening, I went to visit the prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /US offices of Lion Rock. The videogame sequel to Hard Boiled, Stranglehold, had just been finished, and I got to demo it. (I don’t kno...Read more
Thoughts on Woo and me… (part one)
prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /
I just attended the prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /Hong Kong premiere of part two of John Woo’s peerless period historical epic Red Cliff. I can’t actually remember the first time I met John, but I do recall very clearly the first time I saw his work.
I was in Taipei preparing for a film that never got made. It was called Black N...Read more
Siu-wong finally gets to shine in ‘Ip Man’.
prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /
Last night I attended the premiere of the new kung fu epic ‘Ip Man’, in which my old friend Donnie Yen delivers the performance of his career as the eponymous Wing Chun maestro (and teacher to Bruce Lee). In the lobby of the JP Theatre, I ran into Simon Yam, who couldn’t stay to watch the film as he was due on the set of the new Johnnie To movie. Also in the Ip Ma cast, and on h...Read more

Talking ‘Protégé’ and more with (and about) Daniel Wu (part two)
prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /
The casting of Daniel as a ‘protégé’ of Andy Lau is interesting, because, when Wu first came onto the scene, the press said he resembled prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /Hong Kong’s own rebel without a pause. Neither he (nor I) can see any real resemblance, besides maybe that roman nose... Maybe it’s that they both look g...Read more
