[COLOR=seagreen][B] Well I was just thinking about something. "Where have all the old HK films stars gone? Who is dead, and who is alive? People like Ti Lung, Anita Mui, Yuen Biao, Jackie Cheung (not chan) Richard Ng, Cynthia Kwan and all those other people who used to entertain us with their Shaw Bros. and Golden Harvest specials. Actually is Lo Wei still alive?
Well I think we need to create 2 petitions here.
Every member of this forum should send an email / sign this petition for miramax(b*stard company) to sell back the distribution rights to HERO.
Petition the internation film and movie institute to put miramax out of business for racist behaviour in regards to Asian movies.
shaolinwolf.com some movies here to drool over. :o just trying out the smily faces.
Last time I saw Anita Mui in My Father is a Hero and Jacky Cheung in High Risk. Hehe, quite old movies.

Yea!
LOL! I think he is a great movie martial artist. I don’t know what sort of “real” skill he has but he has always impressed me with his on screen presence.
well, he’ll be hitting the big screen in the near future. zu is being released stateside. sammo too. who else? that flick’s got more stars in it than you can throw a pointy stick at.
Lo Wei (the movie producer that started Bruce Lee & Jackie Chan) deceased.
Lo Lieh (Five Fingers of Death - one of the original Chop Socky flics of the seventies that helped start the first Kung Fu craze) deceased a little over a month ago.
All others mentioned in the opening thread are still alive, however as the HK film industry is at something a low you seldom see them anymore. Jacky Chueung & Anita Mui, still have singing careers of course. Cynthia Kwan is doing low budget stuff in China.
Yuen Biao helped behind the scenes on Shanghai Noon & is semi retired.
I like Sammo as much as anybody, and he’s probably my pick for best fight choreographer ever.
Which isn’t to say he hasn’t made some stinkers. I remember a American flick called “Silent Rage” or something showing on his IMDB page that was about a mute avenging the death of his son. Apparently it was SO bad that not only was it never released, even straight to video but it isn’t even listed in imdb anymore.
And who can forget his turn as a japanese heavy in “When Taekwondo Strikes”? The lucky ones, that’s who.
he also played a heavy (excuse the pun) in john woo’s early kung fu pic “hand of death.” and he did so with a big set of prosthetic buck teeth. that’s a must see. also look for cameos by jackie chan and john woo himself.
