i've only been a fan of tony for a month or two. the first movie that i saw he's in is hero. i saw that a couple of years ago. so far, i've seen in the mood for love, chungking express, fighting for love, infernal affairs trilogy, the tigers, '97 aces go places, confesssions of pain and lust, caution (edited version). i believe i'll be watching tokyo raiders this weekend.

Tony never works with Stephen Chow in a movie, but they did work together in a few TVB series at the very early stage of their career. Tony was the lead actor, and Stephen was just a side cast at that time. Check out these two:

Hi karengoh here, welcome to this family. I have been his fan since his day in TVB (over 20 years) starting of with Police Cadets chronology, Heavely Sword, Duke of Mount Deer, Hup Hak Hang and many more series.

Well if you like romantic and humourous movie like I do, I love his "Blind Romance" with Chingmy Yau and "Fighting For Love" with Sammi Cheng.

I like Happy Together too. Purple's recommendation are good. Dr Mack is also one of my favorite. Needless to say actually I like his acting very much and love to watch all his movies and tv series. Like Purple said its difficult to choose which is the best.

So you like days of being dumb well that is his collaboration with Jacky Cheung, if my memory does not fail me.

Infact he also sing too, I have a collection of his album, Sand and so on. I love the song, he sing in Blind Romance.

Wow Hong.

You are superb, like you I have watched all the films listed by you including City of Sadness, Ashes of Time, Healing Hearts, Sound of Colours and He Ain't Heavy, He's my Father (collabration with Carina Lau as his mother) except Flower of Shanghai.

How about Tokyo Raider and Seoul Raider?

Well, I think to search for HongKong films in Canada is easier than in US.

Enjoy watching Penny Lane you ahve so many choices.

Hi Karengoh,

There are a number of sources for Hong Kong films in the US. First off, and by far with the most complete catalog is us.yesasia.com. Also take a look at 5starlaser.com (they have some things that Yesasia no longer has) and also sunentertainment.com (they seem to have some older things in stock that have gone out of print and no one else has). Yesasia and 5starlaser offer free shipping on many items. While your pocketbook may be poorer after discovering these DVD sources, your soul will be richer.

I would say Eagle Shooting Heroes is the funniest one, although the gags are more local. Check it out at: http://tonyleung.info/tony/?p=33

Days of Being Dumb (http://tonyleung.info/tony/?p=31) is very good too.
