Deaf collar worker Tyler (Christian Kang Bachini) has a life no one would ever want. Orphan from the birth, he has been spending his youth in Shanghai under the custody of his uncle Ben (Jean-Charles Soirat), working in his import-export company since he was old enough to lift boxes. Only two things keep Tyler going and give him hope for the future. His greatest passion, Chinese martial arts and the dream of being, one day, able to open his own martial arts school, and a beautiful girl next door and best friend Christina (Dido Yi), who he is secretly in love with. When a gangster clan start making claims over his uncle business and threaten to hurt Christina, Tyler must unleash his inner fury and fight at risk of his life in order to protect the one he loves.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
