A treasure is hidden inside a circus. One step closer to the treasure; one step closer to danger. Ten Tigers, the gang who used to rob on the horseback, was arrested a few decades ago. A legend saying that a treasure was buried in Panyu by the Tigers pasted on ever after. An antique from the Qing Dynasty is excavated during the construction work for the expansion of the Fei Cheung Zoo in Panyu. It is later verified as part of the legendary Ten Tigers’ treasure. A foreign investor sends an archaeological professor and his grandson HO CHUNG FUNG (CHAN HO MAN, BENNY) to search for the rest of the hidden treasure in order to protect these national relics. After the news of their expedition spreads, different people get interested in the treasure...
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.
