It’s hard to find a true friend, but it is even harder to find a friend who will sacrifice himself. Therefore, the friendship of Wang Wu (Ng Cheuk Hai, Ron) and Tan Si Tong (Wong Chung Chak, Bosco) during the Qing dynasty is still a story with relish. Wu has thought that studying is a very hard work for him. He learns to become down to earth only when his mother, Mrs Wang Yuen Xin Yi (Shiu Mei Ki) sends him to the school of kung fu. At the school, Wu meets Tong, who has come here for escaping from marriage. Tong is very versatile, and Wu is very active. They both admire each other’s talents. Under the coaching of Chen Dao Yang (Lau Chung Yan), their kung fu techniques have improved a lot and they have cultured with a righteous heart. On top of the teacher-student relationship, the three have soon built up a friendship. Tong, who tries to get rid of his wife Li Run (Yeung Yi), meets Princess Chao Lan (Yeung Sze Ki, Shirley) at the school. However, Lan only loves Wu...
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.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
