About me: Hong Kong Film Net is one of the largest and longest-running sites dedicated to movies from Hong Kong.
Created in 1998 as a small John Woo tribute site, it has since expanded to having nearly 1000 reviews, with over 1700 pages of content. It is also home to the
Hong Kong Movies FAQ.
HKFilm.net has been referenced in books such as "Dragon: Asian Action & Cult Cinema" and on DVD commentaries like "My Schoolmate the Barbarian".
Materials on the site have also provided references for organizations like the Far East Film Festival in Udine, Italy.
But don't think that HKFilm.net is ever taking itself too seriously -- the steady beer intake of the webmaster will insure that its' virtual tongue is always firmly planted in cheek.
Along with informative sections like the biographies of dozens of stars and directors, HKFilm.net also takes a look at things like Hong Kong movie-related video games and is the home to several MST3K-esque commentaries done with buddies from fellow Asian movie review sites like City on Fire.
So, if you're a well-honed vet or a mewling newbie to the world of Hong Kong/Asian movies, step on over here and prepare yourself for the unmigitated smorgasboard of filmic delights that awaits.
Who I'd like to meet:
Anyone with an interest in movies, ones from Hong Kong in particular.
DO NOT bother messaging or adding this profile if your interest is in "trading" bootleg movies. If you can't afford $5 for a VCD, then perhaps it's time to find a new hobby.
Also, please be respectful of other people's bandwidth with your comments - don't post tons of YouTube clips or other things which tend to make the page load slowly.
Yeah, I didn't have any idea about Wu Jing or Russel Wong being in it and was completely shocked when Tony Wong first came on screen. I was with two buddies and I started laughing in joy pretty loud right there in the theater when I first saw him. ^_^
