    Whether it was LUK SIU FUNG's Sai Mun Chui Sheut, DAGGER LEE's Ah Fei, THE TWINS' Little Fish, or the title character of THE LEGENDARY FOK, Tony Wong Yeun Sun always cut a striking image as a wuxia hero and made each role his.

    Felix Wong is great as XF, his acting is great as usual. However, he is too hairy and his costumes are kinda dirty but it's not Felix fault.

    I believe that if anyone were to equal or better Barbara's Huang Rong, Chingmy has the best shot.

    Think she was not under TVB contract and was more into movies. Cost too much to put her in TV I think.

    Yes. She was both canny and lucky enough to bypass the TVB factory system (the usual first stop for Miss Hong Kong pageant contestants) and directly go into motion pictures.

    Sleeping with Wong Jing does wonders for your career....

    As for the Tsun Kwong story, well, all I have to say is that in person, his voice is really loud and pierces the house.
