When police officers, lawyers or triad members have difficult problems that they cannot solve, an underground organization called "The Fixers" will step in. Mastermind Szeto Sam Ping leads the group, consisting of legal expert Leoi Leoi, computer expert Mak Ping On, flirty thief Chan Dai Man and former government official Bak Seon. The team of five uses extraordinary tactics that trend on the borderline to help their clients solve difficult problems. Under the leadership of the courageous and intelligent Szeto Sam Ping, the team is invincible. But when he re-encounters his brother, OCTB officer Mak Hang Zik, whom he has not seen for many years, he finds out that his mother Szeto Yan Yan has dementia. To make up for his past mistakes, he mends his relationship with his family and experiences a family warmth that he never had before. However, the appearance of a mysterious person pushes everything that Szeto Sam Ping has to the brink. The identities of the team members are exposed one after another. Hunted by both the police and triads, breaking with his own brother and left to fight alone, how can Szeto Sam Ping fix his own problem?

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.
