A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).

William Duen Wai-lun, born 1958, was a one of the real life bodyguards of Jackie Chan along with Jackie Chan Stunt Team member Ken Lo, a role he performed from 1988 to 2003. He worked on many films with Jackie Chan and his stunt team and even did a few stunts himself. He was known more as a character actor than a stuntman, often playing police officials, including controversially in the movie High Risk (1995), which mocked Jackie Chan. In the movie Gorgeous (1999) he and fellow Jackie Chan bodyguard, Ken Lo, parody their real selves by playing bodyguards to the films antagonist L. W. Lo, played by Emil Chau.

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.
