A few years ago, I had a long interview (almost three hours I think) with Hong Kong artist Bobby Yip a.k.a. Baat Leung-gam (八兩金), one of the coolest person I've ever met. Due to his incredible look and eccentric attitude, he often plays lackeys or bad guys in movies.
Bobby Yip (LUCKY GUY - 1998)
He made his debut as an actor in 1993 in the action movie
First Shot / 廉政第一擊, a rip-off of Brian De Palma's

After directing so many short documentaries about Asian cinema the last four years, I've decided to do something completely different. In September 2007, I started to work on a feature-length musical documentary called Rock 'n' Roll Girls, which will mainly focus on multitalented workaholic indie French artist

Since the beginning of 2004, all the short documentaries that I made about Asian cinema (more than 100) were released in DVD in France as extra features. Among them, only two were released in other countries.
The first one, Fast and Dangerous, which contains an interview of director Andrew Lau, was released in France first, in 2005, on the French edition of Legend of Speed, and then in South America in 2007, on...Read more
When you hear "martial arts novels", you can think of several famous writers of Chinese literature. But when you hear "mystery martial arts novels", only one name can pop in your mind: Gu Long.
Born in Hong Kong in 1937 as Xiong Yao-hua, he was the most popular martial arts novelist of Taiwan, where he emigrated when he was 13. In deep passion for literature since his childhood, he shows a big interest ...Read more
