[QUOTE="indzman"][QUOTE="Thomas-Crown"]my favourite actor would be a chinese/Hong Kong actor Tong Leung Chiu Wai (In The Mood for Love 2001, Hero 2002, Infernal Affairs 2002, Red Cliff 2008) and then, of course, the legendary Marlon Brando. :DThomas-Crown
omg ... i absolutely like Tony Leung ( Bullet in the head , Hard Boiled ) , Chow Yun Fat ( The Killer , Better Tommorow , Once a Thief ) , Nicholas Tse ( Police Story 5 , Invisible Target ) , Actress Vicki Zhao Wei ( Shaolin Soccer , So Close , Red Cliff ) .
Hong Kong actors ( besides Bruce lee , Jackie Chan and Jet li ) are underated , they are very much talented when it comes to acting .
P.S - I'm planning to see Tony Jaa's new movie ONG BAK 3 .
You have taste, my friend. :) Tony Leung is an amazing actor, watch out for his up and coming martial art epic, The Grandmasters which, also directed by my one of my all time favourite director, Wong Kar-Wai. However, no release dates yet since it is one of those independent Art-house movies. It has been in production for 8 years now. lol :P CHun Yun Fat, too is another amazing actor... Although his best work are from when he was still in the Hong Kong cinema. A Better Tomorrow was his breakthrough performance in the HK film industry. Onk Bak 3 is excellent for an action movie... The stunts are an amazing. :D Although the story suffered because of it. However, we don't go and see Ong Bak for the storyline but rather the stunts. :P If you are into Hong Kong Cinema, may I suggest you watch Johnny To's films such as P.T.U. Into the Perlious Night 2003, Election 2005, Breaking News 2004, Exiled 2006... Ok, may be I should stop since it is a handful already. lol :P I have watched and really enjoyed Johnnie To's Heroic Bloodshed movie EXILED ( any movie with Anthony Wong is amazing ... imo ) . Really need to watch ELECTION ( couldn't find a english subtitle copy so far tbh ) .
Tony Leung and Chow Yun Fat are amazing actors ... and they completely rock at emotional acting . I'll definately check out THE GRANDMASTERS if its available with english subtitle .
John Woo was my main inspiration towards Hong Kong Filmography ( 've seen each and every of his movies and he catpulted actors like Chow Yun Fat , Tony Leung to Stardom ) .My main theme is Heroic Bloodshed and john Woo was King of it followed by Ringo Lam and Johnie To .
Tony Jaa was completely natural in Ong Bak 1 & 2 , Tom Yum Goom .
HaHa ... I'll definately cultivate you now regarding more awesome Hong Kong Movies Tom :P
