Irene Wan Bik-ha, formerly known as Wen Biyu, is a Hong Kong actress and singer and producer. Her father was an officer of the Republic of China Army. In her early years until she got married, she was known as a "sexy beauty" and was rated as loving beauty more than acting. However, in the 1990s, her film career sputtered when she agreed to star in All of a Sudden (1996), which would be her first, and only, time appearing full-body nude in movie and the hot scenes lasted more than 4 minutes (compared to Everlasting Love (1984) where she had 5 hot scenes, but she was only half nude, and the scenes were less than 2 minutes. And a lot of the hot scenes of her later films are not as daring as All of a Sudden (1996). This move failed to ignite her career. But she later went on to star in various TVB dramas.  In 2019, she was 53 years old, but there was a hot scene with two younger actors (the male actor 14 years younger than her and the female actress 27 years younger than her), causing mixed comments. Especially her gay hot scene with a female actress younger than her made the press talk excitedly. However, her lead role in this film still helped her win the Best Actress in a Leading Role award at the 8th Silk Road International Film Festival 2020.

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
