Hi people, I'm a newcomer. Like the feel of this forum, and the people seem quite decent too Cool

Actually I have only just started to really really like TL, after I watched Infernal Affairs I guess. After that I watched Hero, and The Lucky Star, and bought (VCDs) his wacky gay performance in Gorgeous, and Fighting for Love which he starred with Sammi Cheng.

Since you guys are talking about language, I can speak quite good Mandarin, Cantonese and English(plus Malay, I'm from Malaysia). Chinese is the best language in the world!! Twisted Evil

OK then, till next time, =)

Wah.. actually you are lucky. In malaysia, you are able to speak cantonese, chinese, english and even malay. I remember i learnt cantonese is when i am in a very small age. That time my father brought alot of cantonese cartoon and that how i learnt. But right now, I nv used it to as a communication language. Confused

My chinese is ok but i am not very good in my english. Still trying to cope with it Razz

anyway let's all of us brush up in whatever language that you want to learn Smile

we can do it!!

Oops, the Anonymous up there is actually me. Mr. Green

Well, I've never actually seen TL's chinese series, only movies. I'd really like to watch him in 'Duke of Mount Deer' ( I think that's the name of the series, not very sure) which is an old one with Andy Lau as his co-star. I've never seen Police Cadet either, don't see how I can access it...

Knew TL since forever, but only got to really LOVE him these days, I love his comedies, he is so funny! Laughing

He was ultra-cool in Hero too, although he got stabbed in every other scene, haha. Hero is really really nice, highly recommended, go watch it!

'Nuff said, till next time

I don't remember if i ever have watch the Police Cadet but I always watch the cantonese drama b4 he began his movie life. The best part of his is that whatever movie or drama he acted in. Everytime when i watch again, I never feel sick n tired of watching. Embarassed

Talking about language, I learnt jap b4 and I guess i have already return back to my teacher. Thought of learning it again and maybe brush up my cantonese hehe so that I can use it when i go to hong kong hehehehehe Mr. Green

Hi I'm a newbie from Indonesia Wink

Start this Tony craze just recently

a bit embarassed coz i know he's been around forever. But then again I'm not chinese and I just started my interest in chinese movies only about a year ago. I started out with cheesy romance stuffs (still watch them unfortunately... hahaha... they're so addictive), except probably ITMFL and crouching tiger hidden dragon. My friends introduced me with more serious stuff, and I say, wow, I never really took notice to these things before. Now, I even enjoy watching oriental movies more compared to hollywood's. I think the cinematography is fabulous, simpler yet more beautiful. And somehow the way they depicted things, love for instance, is purer, more honest.
Haven't watched many of Tony's movies, only the recent ones, but I love each and everyone of it especially, ofcourse, Hero. Can't stop raving about it...
Anyway, I think TL is a truly gifted actor. And I think sharing these thoughts with you guys will be fun indeed Smile

Mu99le, know what? I'm as surprised as you:) isn't internet is such a wonderful thing... I'm a female (no wonder I worship TL so much huh Wink

), working somewhere in south jakarta.
A friend of mine lent me the pirated ITMFL vcd. Ugh, the quality of the picture is sooo bad, that's why I can't wait to get my hands on the DVD. My friends said it's available in Mangga Dua. It's sorta hard finding TL movies here, so far I've only watched ITMFL, Chungking Express, Fighting for Love, Chinese Odyssey and Hero... and I just got Happy Together DVD!! Yayy!!!
Hey let's exchange info on where we can get TL movies in Jkt Smile

yes indeed, since I discovered the internet my online hours just kept increasing Very Happy

Before I could only watch Tony's series in pirated video casettes and read his news once in a while in Chinese mags my dad used to buy in Glodok. But now, I can get his news, pics and even video clips on daily basis!!! I must thank the person who invented this internet thing...anyway, i never thought of going to Mangga 2 to look for Tony movies! (telmi Razz

) Can you tell me in which shop you get those movies? I also haven't watched many of his movies, because the times when I was really CRAZY about him was when he's still doing the series. When he shifted to movies in 1990s that's when private TVs came and then I shifted my attention toward Western stars. But I still kept an ear to his news and when I finally bumped into this site, I was totally stunned by how GOOD he still looks after so many yrs and I fell for him once again! Razz

I thought most of his ex-fans must have left for newer, younger stars, that's why I'm so glad to meet you! We can share where to get Tony merchandises in Jkt!!!

p.s: have u watched Infernal Affairs? It's really good! I love watching him and Andy Lau working together again! I have the pirated version but some scenes in it were cut out, so I'm planning to look for the original one tomorrow (my friend said she saw it in Citraland). I'll tell u if I get it!

Hi Mu99le,
Yeah, Mg2 has quite a good selection of movies, esp. for the dvds (unfortunately the pirated ones Embarassed

). I got several Zhang Yimou's and Chen Kaige's there. My friend got his Happy Together there (btw I just watched it and love it very much!!!) and according to him there's plenty ITMFL. the best place, as far as I know, is the stalls on 2nd floor of Mg2 Mall, just opposite the lift.
Other option, you can check the blockbuster vcds (original ones). they're everywhere, I find a lot in disc tarra and other record stores. it got several TL's titles, but mostly it's the cheesier romance stuff hehehe (chinese odyssey 2002, fighting for love, love me love my money). I bet they'll release my lucky star too in due time. the quality is rather so so, but then again it's quite cheap (at most Rp 30,000)
if that also fail, if you have somebody living in KL, I've been told that you'll have better chance of finding good movies there. I've just sent a long list to my friend there Smile

infernal affairs... hmm.. I'm not really keen on watching gangster movies... too many bloodshed... but I'm quite interested on the dual ending... maybe I'll give it a try Smile

Hi Mu99le,
Yeah, I think they also have VCD in Mg2, but I don't know whether it's as complete (or maybe more complete) than the DVD. as far as I know my friend finally bought chungking express vcd there coz the dvd is not available.
I'll check it out for you coz probably I'll gi there this weekend Smile
