Cherie Chung Cho-Hung (Chinese: 鍾楚紅; pinyin: Zhōng Chǔhóng; born 16 February 1960) was arguably the queen of Hong Hong cinema in the 80's. After appearing in the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant in 1979 she was scouted by legendary producer/director Johnnie To and cast in his film THE ENIGMATIC CASE. From there she could sometimes star in six or more films per year. To Western fans she is most known for her frequent co-starring roles with HK superstar Chow Yun-Fat, as well as Tsui Hark's classic PEKING OPERA BLUES. After teaming up with Chow again in John Woo's caper comedy ONCE A THIEF she, like many Chinese actresses, retired to marry and start a family.
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.
