Nicknamed "King of Hell", night taxi driver Qiao Zuozhi (played by Yang Chaokai) fully utilized the advantages of his profession: he frequently encountered ghosts, and finally lost all his wealth. It was not until he met his middle school classmate Gao Gu Ni (played by Huang Jiandong) that he completely overcame his fear of ghosts and monsters. Gu Ni and Zuozhi were best friends in middle school. After many years, Gu Ni had unexpectedly transformed into a scientist who specialized in the study of energy gathering of spiritual weapons. He was determined to develop spiritual power generation to save the earth's energy crisis and make money from it. Later, the two of them set up the "Demon Taxi Agency" together, hoping to save the world.
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.
