In praise of Cherie Chung...

[Leongsam]

Anyone with sound horn or shazam would have been able to find out the names of those 2 songs. I knew the english song was by a chinese person. It has that very typical sappy sounding tune which western artists typically don't do.

I don't have shazam. All I had to do was listen to a few lines of those crappy, half baked lyrics, entered them into google, added the keyword "lyrics" and viola.

Cherie Chung is no doubt a beauty but her roles are limited. I find Maggie Cheung a more versatile actress.

Cherie Chung is short. She is pretty but 沒有氣質。

Chow Yun Fatt is already a legend in HK cinema. To me his best work were the gangster/hero bloodshed movies in the 80s. I absolutely love <英雄本色> -- must have watched it 20 times already.

He was fantastic in this movie. Those were his best days, I have lost a little interest in him since he went hollywood and epic films like Crouching Tiger, etc. A Better Tomorrow also had 2 of my favourite HK stars in it, Leslie Cheung and Ti Lung.
But for anyone who hasn't done so, please don't bother watching the sequels.

Many Fatt Gor's fans here...
I prefer his early works like Woo Viet and 1941....
For gangster action my favorite next to better tomorrow is flaming brothers with an equally suave Alan Tang and Patrick Tse has a cameo.

My favourite scene was Hao Ge (Ti Lung) bandaging up Mark Gor's wounds on the mountain overlooking HK. Mark then says his reason for doing one last hit was not to show anyone he's the best, but to prove that he can reclaim something taken away from him. SOLID!

The other one was their carpark reunion .. "我等了你三年。。三年啊!"

Absolutely NO ONE ELSE can ever pull those 2 scenes off. Not even the best actors of Hollywood.

a little bit of insider story for 英雄本色. original lead only 2, 狄龙 and 张国荣 and 周润发was supporting role. you can see it in the show too as the story actually revolve more on 狄龙 and 张国荣. but when the show hit the cinema in HK, due to the response they even reprint the poster to put 周润发 in the lead list.

If some American or pro white person were to read this might be offended and disagree with you
