Master Cheung gets injured after fighting with the cult leader Suen Ci. He runs away and meets his future apprentice Szeto Man Mo, as well as the government official’s daughter Lam Chor Yin. Mo is engaged to Yin but he is not devoted to her at all. Even though Yin loves him wholeheartedly, Mo deserts her on their wedding day. Soon after, Mo falls for an actress Fa Ying Fung, knowing nothing of her veil of deceit. After being hurt seriously by Fung, Mo realizes that Yin is his true love and he returns to her eventually. Unfortunately, Yin’s spirit is captured by Ci on their wedding night. In order to rescue his wife, Mo starts practicing black magic but this leads to disastrous outcomes.
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.
