In the final years of the Qing Dynasty, famous kung fu master "Big Saber" Wang Wu (Eddy Ko) falls to the invincible martial arts of evil cult leader Lian Bixie (Wong Lung Wai), and has all of his family killed except for his young son Wuji. Bearing the vendetta, Wuji (Ng Kong) grows up a disciple of the Drunken Beggar (Tso Tat Wah). With his supreme "Drunken Fist" kung fu, the righteous and brave young man roams the martial world and has numerous dangerous encounters with the most vicious villains. He is also romantically entangled with Xian'er (Moon Lee), Drunken Babe (Yip Yuk Ping), and his best friend, the Little Sword Immortal (Lau Kar Yung)
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.
