Overview from TheMovieDB

According to legend, the Buddha’s aide the Roc arbitrarily goes to the mortal realm to cause havoc. The Buddha sends his envoy to go after the trouble maker. The envoy and the Roc engage each other in a duel. Fast-forward five hundred years and an injured man is lying in the wilderness. Luk Ching-yee, female embroiderer in a small village, comes to his rescue. He becomes a laborer at the embroidery workshop and dyehouse. The man runs into enlightened monk Master Wai Yuen in his dream, and his mysterious background is unraveled. He recalls his real name Lee Sau-yuen. He is also reunited with his old buddy Fong Chi-peng. Sau-yuen and female constable So Yau become adversaries. During repeated confrontations, the duo covertly begin to have affectionate feelings for each other. However, Ching-yee also makes advances to Sau-yuen. Black demon crisis then hits the small village. To save the mortals, Sau-yuen decides to forget love and desire. Everything is actually karma. Fate is predestined.

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.
