The Szema family murdered the Tong family in order to monopolize the weapons industry. Twenty years later, the chief of Brocade Guards, YUEMAN FUNG (CHENG SIU CHOW, ADAM), fights against MRS. WONG (WANG MING CHUN, LIZA) of the biggest escort carrier in town. During the fight, they realize they might know each other… FUNG has changed his name, put on an eye patch and become a Brocade Guard. His wife, TONG PIK, has married WONG. They live with humiliation while they wait for the day of revenge. However, they both are in situations where they can’t reveal their identities. PIK hires MANG LUI (LAM RAYMOND) as a fighter. He falls in love with PIK’s daughter YEE (YEUNG SZE KI, SHIRLEY). Ironically, LUI is PIK’s son, whom she lost many years ago, and so love between the two is impossible. How can love and hatred end between two generations?
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.
