The second prince Lei Zhenyu (Xu Erniu) has no intention of fame and does not want to compete with the eldest prince Lei Zhenhuan (Zhang Yi) for the title of God of War, so he leaves a letter and runs away. Living in the countryside, he took in three common people as his disciples, among whom he looked at Ying Ziyang (Xiao Yulong) with special eyes. On the other hand, with the help of his aide Duan Ronglu (Wang Wei), Huan usurped his father and killed his uncle. He became known as the "God of War" and succeeded to the throne. At the same time, Yu was shocked to hear that his father had passed away and went to Beijing to attend the funeral. He then exposed the evil deeds of Huan and Duan Ronglu, and the brothers turned against each other. Yu was even more miserable and was deprived of his martial arts skills. In the end, Yu pinned all his hopes on Yang and regarded him as his adopted son, and he and Huan then pursued the name of God of War.
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.
