Sergeant Ko Fai completed undercover operations many years ago, and there is always a cloud hanging over him. Ko Fai is reassigned to a police precinct that is Crime Squad Station Sergeant Fong Chi-kiu’s territory. While investigating cases, the duo gradually familiarize with each other and develop tacit understanding. Chi-kiu is so dedicated to her job that she has no time for taking care of her family. Her son hangs out with the wrong crowd and gets into trouble. Hotpot restaurant lady boss Lo Sin-man was naive when she was young as she slept with gang boss Law Wai and gave birth to a girl called Lo Siu-po. Fortunately, Ko Fai has always taken care of Sin-man and her daughter. Siu-po becomes a KOL and wants to step into the spotlight by engaging in reckless maneuvers. She gradually descends into the abyss as she reveals how drug dealers go about their business. To protect their loved ones, Ko Fai and Chi-kiu become guardians of the night and are determined to eradicate the villains!

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.
