Biography from TheMovieDB

Maggie Poon Mei-Kei, who played “Bean Curd” in the movie ‘Spacked Out’, had no previous acting experience. Originally, she only accompanied her classmates to audition at Milky Way Image. She did not participate in the audition, but a staff member saw her, took her phone number, and took a few photos for the record. However, director Lawrence Ah-Mon gave up on her in the first round of interviews because he felt she looked too much like a doll and not like an ordinary person, so Maggie was not originally among the main cast. But assistant director Four Tse Liu-Shut met Maggie while filming an advertisement before shooting ‘Spacked Out’. She played a rebellious girl very well. Four Tse Liu-Shut showed the advertisement to the director, Lawrence agreed with her performance, and asked Maggie to play the role of “Bean Curd”.  After ‘Spacked Out’, Maggie was invited by director Soi Cheang to play the female lead ‘May’ in the movie ‘Diamond Hill’, and then filmed the horror film ‘Inner Senses’ directed by Chi-Leung Law, where she played Cheung Siu Yu. In the movie, Maggie had several scenes with Leslie Cheung. Her last film was director Wilson Yip Wai-Shun’s ‘SPL’, after which she faded from the screen.

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.
