A native of Beijing and born as Zhang Zi-Ting, Hang has starred in over 60 titles and numerous TV serials. He's a versatile actor who can tackle any role, including loving fathers, office managers and touch guys. He joined Shaw Brothers in 1968 and starred in two martial arts films "Tomorrow Is Another Day" and "The Fastest Sword", where he played Chu Ching's father in both of them. Later, Hang discarded his five-year contract with Shaw Brothers because of the traveling. He turned to work in various Taiwanese film companies during the 1960s and 1980s, where he starred in "Secret Agent Chang Kong No.1", "Clam Fairy" and "It All Started With A Bed". He had also appeared in "The Sword" produced by Hong Kong's Chang Jiang Films. Han is best remembered for his martial arts roles.
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.
