黃秋燕
Trained in China's national martial arts team along with future action star Jet Li, Huang was a shooting star in the Chinese celluloid who only appeared in two films between 1985 and 1986, both involving the Shaolin Temple. Martial Arts of Shaolin, helmed by none other than the master Lau Kar-leung, was an acclaimed blockbuster at the time. Huang and Li were later married in 1987, but as their career gaps gradually widened along the way, their relationship ended in divorce in 1990. Huang is currently residing in Taiwan.
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.
