We male #AAPI #ChineseAmericans have few positive male movie icons. heroes.

For us #Boomer Chinese-American, this was #BruceLee, who died far too young. Not only did he have a white wife, he was a "bad dude" & dispelled the negative sexual stereotypes of Asian men that still exist.

While I don't think he's the greatest Asian hero of all time, as the following article suggests, #ChowYunFat was a successor to Bruce & his partnership with John Woo is akin to that between Mifune & Kurosawa but while significant within the genre of Asian action films, far less groundbreaking than the Japanese collaboration was.

In any event, if you never seen #HardBoiled, #ABetterTomorrow & #Killer, you should make the effort to do so, because they are ground breaking movies in the modern #HongKongMovie genre & are essential to a full understanding of Asian action films.

Here's a link to a great trailer for one of the all time best Hong Kong action films . . . #HardBoiled (1992) directed by #JohnWoo & co-starring #ChowYunFat & #TonyLeung -- which is going to be shown in restored 4K format in a limited release in theaters on Jan 25-26 & 28.

#Movies . . .

#HardBoiled (1992) a classic #HongKong #ActionMovie -- directed by #JohnWoo before he crossed over to directing movies in the #US & starring #ChowYunFat (#CrouchingTiger) and #TongLeung (#10Rings) --is getting a wide but limited screening in the US (far wider than when it was originally released) on Jan 25-26 & 28.

I've got it on DVD but I'm going to my local #AMC to watch it on the BIG SCREEN anyway. 😎

The Seventh Curse (1986)
https://horrorcultfilms.co.uk/2023/02/the-seventh-curse-1986/
#88FILMS #chowyunfat #hongkong #review #film #cinema #action #horror

No spoilers, but I was left stunned & shattered by the dramatic & explosive ending of ALL ABOUT AH-LONG (1989), a heartfelt & heartbreaking drama about a father & son dir. by #JohnnieTo.

Struggling single dad Ah-Long (#ChowYunFat) must choose between his happiness & what's best for his son when the boy's well-off mum (#SylviaChang) unexpectedly shows up in Hong Kong after a 10-year absence & asks to take her son to live with her in the US.

Moving from start to finish.

#HongKongCinema #Movie

Not the cheeriest of movies to end the year on, but #AnnHui's THE STORY OF WOO VIET (1981) is a gripping & powerful film. Shattered hopes await #CherieChung & #ChowYunFat in this part political drama, part gangster film about Chinese-Vietnamese refugees trying to flee to the US but who get caught up in Manila's gritty underworld with tragic outcome. [3/3]

#HongKongNewWave #Cinema #Film #Movies

#HNY. Wishing everyone a new year filled with good books and films.
