The film was made in response to Li's fans requesting more realistic fight scenes, and is notable as most of the action sequences did not use CGI or wire work; only two scenes required CGI enhancement and only one scene involved wire work. Wire work was also added to one of the last fight sequences between Li and Cyril Raffaelli, only to add clarity to Raffaelli's kicks, as he was moving too fast for the camera. Nahon was also required to slow down this fight scene, as both Li and Raffaelli moved too quickly to be captured clearly at normal recording speed. The film is based on a story by Li. Plot Liu Siu-jian (Jet Li), a Chinese intelligence agent, is sent to Paris to help apprehend Chinese mob boss Mr. Big (Ric Young), who is involved in heroin smuggling.

Enter the Dragon – 龙争虎斗(1973) – Chinese Movies
English name:Enter The Dragon Broadcast time:July 26, 1973 Starring:李小龙(Bruce Lee)、John Saxon、Jim Kelly、茅瑛(Angela Mao Ying)、Ahna Capri、石坚(Shih Kien) director:Robert Clouse Introduction Today, we are going to talk about a film which is theatrical released in August 19, 1973.It is the last film completed by Bruce Lee (李小龙Lǐ Xiǎolóng) before his untimely death(英年早逝yīngniánzǎoshì), Enter the Dragon (龙争虎斗lóngzhēng-hǔdòu) was his entrée into Hollywood. The American-Hong Kong coproduction, shot in Asia by American director Robert Clouse, stars Lee as a British agent sent to infiltrate the criminal empire of bloodthirsty Asian crime lord Han (Shih Kien) through his annual international martial arts tournament. Lee spends his days taking on tournament combatants and nights breaking into the heavily guarded underground fortress, kicking the living tar out of anyone who stands in his way. The mix of kung fu fighting (choreographed by Lee himself) and James Bond intrigue (the plot has more than a passing resemblance to Dr. No) is pulpy by any standard, but the generous budget and talented cast of world-class martial artists puts this film in a category well above Lee's primitive Hong Kong productions. Unfortunately he's off the screen for large chunks of time as American maverick competitors (and champion martial artists) John Saxon and Jim Kelly take center stage, but once…- 0

Bruce Lee (李小龙Lǐ Xiǎolóng) originally intended Game of Death to be a more philosophical treatment of martial arts. He started working on the film in 1972, after completing Way of the Dragon. Reportedly he shot about 90 minutes of footage (连续镜头liánxù jìngtóu) for the end of the film (of which 23 minutes can be used today). He never wrote a screenplay(剧本jùběn) for it. He envisioned a pagoda set on an island off the coast of Korea, with each level guarded by a different martial arts stylist. Three challengers - Bruce's character (Jeet Kune Do), Chieh Yuan (traditional Kung Fu) and James Tien - fight their way to the top of the pagoda and ultimate victory. The footage he shot only covers the upper 3 levels, guarded by Dan Inosanoto (Escrima), Chi Hon Tsoi (Hapkido) and Kareem Abdul Jabbar respectively. There is a sign at Dan Inosanto's floor which reads "Fu Deen" (Tiger Palace) and one at Chi Hon Tsoi's which reads "Lung Deen" (Dragon Palace). Bruce…- 0

English name:Movie-fan Princess Broadcast time:June 22, 1966 Starring:陈宝珠(Connie Chan)、吕奇、姜中平(Chung Ping Keung)、罗兰(HelenaLawLan) director:黄尧 Introduction Today, I will introduce a Chinese film which called Movie-Fan Princess (影迷公主Yǐngmí Gōngzhǔ). So let us have a brief introduction. During the late 60s Connie Chan (陈宝珠Chén Bǎozhū) was the idol of Hong Kong’s “factory girls,” the young women who worked in the colony’s booming manufacturing industries. These women readily identified with Connie’s down-to-earth nature and can-do attitude. In Movie-Fan Princess she herself plays a factory girl who ends up becoming a movie star and being romanced by her screen idol played by Lv Qi (吕奇Lǚ Qí). Movie-Fan Princess was the first time that Connie was paired with Lv Qi, who would star as her leading man in 25 films over the next four years. Contemporary audiences are probably more familiar with the lampoons of Lv Qi than they are with the man himself. In this film, he plays a popular actor adored by Connie and all the other girls at the factory. Connie quickly loses her crush, however, when she finally sees him in person on the set of one of his films.

01:00 AM – Chinese Movies Reviews
Chinese:夜半一點鐘Tsui Kam-Kong and Jordan Chan Year:1995 Director:Wilson Yip Wai-Shun Producer:Andy Chin Wing-Keung Writer:Philip Kwok Wai-Chung, So Man-Sing Cast:Veronica Yip Yuk-Hing, Anita Yuen Wing-Yee, Elvis Tsui Kam-Kong, Jordan Chan Siu-Chun, Anthony Wong Yiu-Ming, Jessica Suen Huen, Farini Chang, Ivy Leung Si-Man, Hung Suet-Ying, Candy Hau Woon-Ling The Skinny:Positively mild horror comedy from director Wilson Yip that lacks the payoff to make it more than a minor distraction. Maybe okay for Wilson Yip completists or fans of the stars, but really, this is not a film worth seeking out. Reviewby Kozo:Minor horror-comedy from director Wilson Yip, who went to to direct actual good movies. 01:00 AM is a typical Hong Kong horror comedy, which means there are three stories related by a single thread. In this case, they all take place at 1:00 am, and involve ghosts of some sort. Periodically, people get scared and a variety of mild hijinks occur. Sometimes, there really isn't much to get scared about, and it's merely the characters reacting to imagined stimuli. In some ways, the events of this film are not dissimilar to those at a junior high school slumber party. In story one, nurse Veronica Yip must safeguard a comatose popstar (Anthony Wong Yiu-Ming), but she starts seeing him and some strange girl wandering around at 1:00 a.m. every evening.…- 0

The film's main character, Lian Nichang, is loosely based on the protagonist of Liang Yusheng's novel Baifa Monü Zhuan, which had earlier served as source material for the 1982 film Wolf Devil Woman. However, Yu saw the film as a Romeo and Juliet story and said that the lovers' struggle against fate and their heroic duty inspired him more than the familiar trappings of most martial arts adventure films. As such, the film departs significantly from the original source. A sequel, The Bride with White Hair 2, directed by David Wu, was released later in the same year. Plot Zhuo Yihang was raised by Taoist Ziyang of the Wudang Sect and groomed to become a young chivalrous swordsman.
