This week we are discussing the 2002 wuxia epic: Hero (英雄). Join us as we talk about the stunning visuals, colorful chapters, understanding martial arts films, political readings, Indy's love of Tony Leung (and most of the cast, really), Chinese history, and a bunch of other things I've already forgotten.   I Love This You Should Too is hosted by Samantha and Indy Randhawa   Hero (Chinese: 英雄; pinyin: Yīngxióng) is a 2002 wuxia martial arts film[3] directed, co-written, and produced by Zhang Yimou, and starring Jet Li, Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Maggie Cheung, Zhang Ziyi, Donnie Yen and Chen Daoming.[4] The cinematography was by Christopher Doyle, and the musical score composed by Tan Dun. The film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film at the 75th Academy Awards. The historical background of the film refers to the Warring States Period in ancient China, when China was divided into seven states. In 227–221 BC, the Qin state was about to unify the other six states, assassins from the six states were sent to assassinate the king of Qin. One of the most famous incidents was Jing Ke's attempted assassination of the King of Qin.

In this episode of the Billion Dollar Podcast, we welcome Tony Leung, a finance professional with over 30 years in the industry. Tony shares his journey from banking to brokering and the lessons he's learned along the way. With years of experience at Mortgage Alliance, Tony provides advice on mentorship, client-first service, and strategies for work-life balance. Get inspired by his insights on building strong client relationships and succeeding in the mortgage broker industry.

Ist 2046 der ultimative Liebesfilm? Das verspricht zumindest der offizielle deutsche Untertitel. Oder ist es der ultimative Anti-Liebesfilm? Denn eigentlich geht es um die Unmöglichkeit der Liebe: Mr. Chow (Tony Leung) wurde das Herz gebrochen – das haben wir IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE mitverfolgt. Jetzt geht für ihn der Liebesreigen weiter. Aber er wird sich nicht mehr fallenlassen, er wird keine große Liebe mehr zulassen, auch wenn er sich verliebt, auch wenn er bedingungslos geliebt wird. Romantische Verstrickungen und Leidenschaft, Flirten und Aneinanderverzweifeln – aber keine Chance auf ein Happy End. Zumindest nicht für Mr. Chow. Im Podcast direkt nach dem Film sprechen Thomas und Johanna über die schönsten Frauen Chinas und Hongkongs, über Menschen am Rande des Bildausschnitts, Farben und Atmosphäre, über ein ungewöhnliches Science-Fiction-Element und über das beste Alter, um 2046 als Liebesfilm zu erleben.

This week on the podcast, we talk elite fabric movies, Tony Leung and Tony Leung accessories, and Craig and Josh's descent into being mahjong aunties in 2007's LUST, CAUTION!   https://patreon.com/swimfans https://linktr.ee/swimfans    

The final episode of our Hong Kong mini-series takes us into the 21st century! It's the cop drama-thriller box office dynamo, INFERNAL AFFAIRS!We're going full spoilers on the movie discussion this week. Consider yourself warned!Nick's theory that all Hong Kong movies from the time were Handover Movies continues to be true as we discuss Buddhist hell, avoiding undercover cop clichés, Andy Lau's unfathomable superstardom, and Tony Leung's cute nicknames.To wrap up the Hong Kong series, we're going over the "twilight of Hong Kong's film industry", how Infernal Affairs avoided the pitfalls of the industry, how it completes the journey that started with our 36TH CHAMBER episode, and our general thoughts and feelings on this unique place and time in film.

Summer of Hong Kong continues, and today we're pivoting from the 80's and martial arts into the 90's and emotions! And who else could we be talking about but Wong Kar-wai and his 1994 breakthrough, CHUNGKING EXPRESS!While a touchstone for HK cinema today, Wong Kar-wai's big splash into the arthouse scene was anything but at the time. We're discussing how Wong found his way to his style leading up to CHUNGKING, how it captured the Hong Kong attitudes at such a precise moment, and the different relationship phases we recognized in these characters, in addition to highliighting Tony Leung's sad eyes.We're also connecting CHUNGKING EXPRESS to our previous HK movie, YES MADAM and 36TH CHAMBER OF SHAOLIN to chart just how we've arrived here. Plus, we get some some surprise foreshadowing for our next episode and the finale of our Hong Kong series: 2002's INFERNAL AFFAIRS!

A Miami Vice-influenced cross between neo-Noir and over-the-top action, it's the story of two cops—one an alcoholic detective, the other an undercover cop playing hitman—taking down some Hong Kong gangsters. It has gung-fu, babies in peril, and the boxiest, beigest computers the 1990s could deliver.  Starring Chow Yun-fat, Tony Leung, Theresa Mo, Philip Chan, and Anthony Wong. Written by Gordon Chan and Barry Wong. Directed by John Woo.   Apologies to any listeners for the sound, this was recorded while Mary had a bad cold.

This episode was originally released May 17, 2021 This week we discuss the Wong Kar-Wai classic Chungking Express, the changing face of Hong Kong, stillness and transience, quirkiness and metaphor, and what a romantic comedy should be.   Chungking Express is a 1994 Hong Kong romantic crime comedy-drama film written and directed by Wong Kar-wai. The film consists of two stories told in sequence, each about a lovesick Hong Kong policeman mulling over his relationship with a woman. The first story stars Takeshi Kaneshiro as a cop obsessed with his breakup with a woman named May, and his encounter with a mysterious drug smuggler (Brigitte Lin). The second stars Tony Leung as a police officer roused from his gloom over the loss of his flight attendant girlfriend (Valerie Chow) by the attentions of a quirky snack bar worker (Faye Wong). "Chungking" in the title refers to Chungking Mansions in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong, where Wong grew up in the 1960s. "Express" refers to the food stand Midnight Express, located in Lan Kwai Fong, an area in Central, Hong Kong.   I Love This You Should Too is hosted by Samantha & Indy Randhawa

We are on a journey through the world of Wong, Kar-wai. Our first stop is his 2000 romantic Masterpiece (at least according to Indy) In the Mood For Love.  We discuss the romance of these forbidden lovers, the politics of Hong Kong, the effect of memory on film, the music, frames Within frames, the beautiful dreamlike look, and more! I Love This You Should Too is hosted by Samantha & Indy Randhawa In the Mood for Love (Chinese: 花樣年華; lit. 'Flowery Years') is a 2000 romantic drama film written, produced and directed by Wong Kar-wai. A co-production between Hong Kong and France, it portrays a man (Tony Leung) and a woman (Maggie Cheung) in 1962 whose spouses have an affair together and who slowly develop feelings for each other. It forms the second part of an informal trilogy, alongside Days of Being Wild and 2046. （英語：In the Mood for Love）是一部於2000年上映的愛情浪漫電影，為王家衛導演的第七部電影，靈感來自劉以鬯的小說《對倒》。電影由香港與法國合拍，梁朝偉、張曼玉共同主演。

Samantha reviews her favourite biblical western lovestory Redeeming Love, while Indy gets back into the world of Wong KarWai with a review of Days of Being Wild, and we get ready for In The Mood For Love and 2046.     I Love This You Should Too is hosted by Samantha & Indy Randhawa   Redeeming Love is a 2022 American Christian Western romance film directed by D.J. Caruso, who co-wrote the screenplay with Francine Rivers. The film is based on Rivers' 1991 novel of the same name, which was based on the Biblical story of Hosea, and is set in the American Old West during the California Gold Rush. It stars Abigail Cowen, Tom Lewis and Logan Marshall-Green.   Days of Being Wild is a 1990 Hong Kong drama film written and directed by Wong Kar-Wai. Starring some of the best-known actors and actresses in Hong Kong, including Leslie Cheung, Andy Lau, Maggie Cheung, Carina Lau, Jacky Cheung and Tony Leung, the film marks the first collaboration between Wong and cinematographer Christopher Doyle, with whom he has since made six more films.   In the Mood for Love (Chinese: 花樣年華; lit. 'Flowery Years') is a 2000 romantic drama film written, produced and directed by Wong Kar-wai. A co-production between Hong Kong and France, it portrays a man (Tony Leung) and a woman (Maggie Cheung) in 1962 whose spouses have an affair together and who slowly develop feelings for each other. It forms the second part of an informal trilogy, alongside Days of Being Wild[6] and 2046.   2046 is a 2004 romantic drama film written, produced and directed by Wong Kar-wai. An international co-production between Hong Kong, France, Italy, China and Germany, it is a loose sequel to Wong's films Days of Being Wild (1990) and In the Mood for Love (2000). It follows the aftermath of Chow Mo-wan's unconsummated affair with Su Li-zhen in 1960s Hong Kong and includes elements of science fiction.

In 2002, Tony Leung and Andy Lau starred in the Hong Kong classic Infernal Affairs, which Martin Scorsese remade in the US as The Departed; twenty years on, the inspiration flows in the opposite direction, Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street a clear reference point for this fictionalised tale of real-life stock market manipulation, deeply embedded corruption, and the growth of a multi-billion-dollar company from meagre beginnings on the back of scams, confidence, appearences, and lies, with Leung starring as charming, oleaginous company founder and Lau as the anti-corruption official on his tail. We had terrific fun in The Goldfinger. Which isn't to say it's a perfect film. We have our issues. The imagery could be more expressive - though director Felix Chong (another Infernal Affairs alumnus: he wrote the trilogy) clearly has an eye for visual impact, and there's lots to be impressed by. We'd like to know why Lau's corruption investigator believes that chasing Leung's CEO is worth the disruption and danger to his family, beyond simply justice. We'd like any similar insight into what drives Leung, beyond simply greed. And if it is simply justice and greed, we'd like it to be better sold, bigger and brasher. We'd like the clash between the two to be more explosive. And the rather pat ending induces eye-rolling. But never mind all that. The Goldfinger is an entertaining and exciting tale of the rise and fall of a business empire that lived and died based on the fundamental corruption of the system and interests that built and supported it. Recorded on 30th December 2023.

Christmas Break basically DEMANDS a break, so your favorite trifecta returns this week for a Criterion Break! We finally wrap up our year long stroll through The World of Wong Kar Wai boxset with the last two films, In the Mood For Love and 2046.

Es wird Zeit, dass im Nachtprogramm endlich einmal über den Mann gesprochen wird, dessen Art und Weise der Actioninszenierung stilbildend für viele teure und billige Actionfilme der Neunziger und frühen Nullerjahre wirkte. Die Rede ist von John Woo, und wir fackeln gar nicht lange sonder beginnen unser Gespräch über den "Meister der Zerstörung" sogleich mit seinem legendären Ballerfest "Hard Boiled" aus dem Jahre 1992, bekanntermaßen sein letzter Hongkong-Film. Da wird nostalgisch geschwelgt, die Coolness sowohl von Chow Yun-Fat als auch Tony Leung gewürdigt und bewundert, über die viele Action gemeckert,..., Moment, was? Nun, man lasse sich überraschen! Und da wir Filme gerne im Doppelpack besprechen, schieben wir gleich noch "Just Heroes" von 1989 hinterher, der hierzulande mit einiger Verspätung als "Hard Boiled 2" in die Videotheken kam. Ein idiotischer Einfall, fürwahr, für uns jedoch ein Zeichen, dem wir gerne folgten. Nun also viel Spaß, Bühne frei, es wird geballert!

This week, Michelle Yeoh makes her triumphant return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe - but this time, she's playing a different character with a bit more to do than in her brief GUARDIANS 2 cameo. Yeoh appears as Ying Nan in Destin Daniel Crettin's SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS, Marvel Studios' first film with an Asian lead and primarily Asian cast. Also starring Simu Liu, Awkwafina, and - in his very first English-languafe role - the legendary Tony Leung!

Delayed due to the Covid pandemic, Shang-Chi was pushed back from its original release date in 2020 to 2021. Marvel's first superhero of Asian descent was met with critical praise (and audiences loved it, too) and ushered in Phase Four (although technically Phase Four started with WandaVision, Black Widow was the first feature film but since it's a prequel...). Where does it land within the MCU ranking? Check out what the guys think and let us know what you think of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings! Cinema Heroes YouTube Instagram

All month long, Kyle follows his nose, allowing his impulsivity and gut instinct to drive his movie selection process from week to week. This week, Kyle has us review John Woo's, Hard Boiled (1992)! The Stairs. The Warehouse. The Hospital. The Hallway. Regarded as of one of the grandest and most bombastic films among John Woo's illustrious filmography, Hard Boiled (1992) is an action fan's dream come true. Starring national treasures, Chow Yun-fat and Tony Leung, as well as the always brilliant Anthony Wong in a small but memorable villainous turn, Hard Boiled is ultimately an all-gas-no-brakes production, largely focused on violent spectacle rather than reveling in the melodrama that is often endemic to Woo's filmography and the heroic bloodshed genre in general. Featuring no less that 3 protracted action sequences that are packed to the brim with creativity and excellence in execution, Hard Boiled is an all-time great, well-deserving of its reputation and place in the annals of action cinema history.

Driven by two star-making performances from Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung, it's a sensuous story about quiet suffering, unspoken attraction, and the universal languages of love and desire.

It's DIE HARD in a hospital! This time, Phil and Liam team up to investigate HARD BOILED (1992), John Woo's operatic action extravaganza starring legendary actors Chow Yun-fat and Tony Leung, as two very different Hong Kong cops who join forces to take down a ruthless arms dealer. It's a film that's often compared to DIE HARD…but does it actually surpass it? Is this actually the greatest action film of all time? The boys debate these controversial questions, while breaking down the various astonishing action sequences that Woo somehow captured in this utterly spectacular 'bullet ballet.' They also discuss the film's many poetic flourishes, the deceptively deep thematic underpinnings, the soulful tone, the supercool style, and the fabulous supporting cast. Passions and emotions run high in this one! As always there's the ‘ DIE HARD Oscars' to look forward to, and an entertaining round of the ‘Double Jeopardy' trivia quiz completes the proceedings. So make yourself a Tequila Slammer, grab your clarinet, and soak it all in!

Watch your step! Apply caution, there's lust in the air! Get a wet floor sign (the joke didn't really work on air either but it's honestly the best I have at the moment)!The steamy, raunchy, espionage, spy thriller with all those "hard" sex scenes in them: LUST, CAUTION (2007). I mean they're pretty eye-catching, especially if you happen to lock eyes with Tony Leung at any point during them as he's squashing Tang Wei into as small a ball as possible. It's a mixed bag for us. One of those rare occasions where Ryan likes something more than Laura does. There's plenty to like here but when you're posing an argument that it may be didn't need the hard sex scenes as pertaining to our interests on the podcast and in order to tell a good story, you know something's up. 

Cette semaine dans AMIES, Anaïs et Marie regardent Chungking Express (1994), réalisé par Wong Kar-wai. Le réalisateur hongkongais est aussi à l'origine de In the Mood for Love, l'un des films romantiques préférés d'Anaïs et Marie. À Hong Kong, Chungking Express raconte les histoires parallèles de deux policiers qui retombent amoureux après une rupture. Dans la première partie, le matricule 223 (Takeshi Kaneshiro) noie son chagrin dans un bar et décide de tomber amoureux de la première femme (Brigitte Lin) qui y entrera. Dans la seconde partie, le matricule 663 (Tony Leung Chiu-wai) se rapproche de Faye (Faye Wong), une serveuse du fast-food qu'il fréquente. Anaïs a t-elle trouvé le film romantique? Comment tient-il la comparaison avec les comédies romantiques américaines? Était-elle contente de retrouver Tony Leung? Après la découverte de Friends par Anaïs puis de Twin Peaks par Marie, les deux amies vont, à tour de rôle, explorer deux genres du cinéma: les films d'horreur et les films romantiques. Cris, rires et larmes sont au programme.

We begin the Month of Crazy Stupid Love with a film that the Sight And Sound absolutely worships. The BBC Culture people do too. But we don't. We do RESPECT In The Mood For Love immensely. The actors are good and it's one of the best-looking motion pictures ever made. The cinematography, the sets and especially the costumes should have won Oscars, even though the film wasn't nominated in any of those categories. But, yes, there's certainly plenty to admire in this movie about self-imposed forbidden love as Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung deal with the pain of their partners' infidelity by falling for each other. Are these feelings real though or are the two of them just wallowing in that pain? We try to sort all of that out in Have You Ever Seen #490 as we also try our hardest to see what others see in In The Mood For Love.

Hey Bombers! Welcome back to another exciting episode of Not A Bomb. Normally, this is the podcast where we go back reexamine some of the biggest cinematic bombs of all time. This week, though, the guys pull the Hong Kong Clause which states that at any point the gang can discuss a Hong Kong film if they feel the need. The guys really really really wanted to discuss an underappreciated film from an underappreciated director. We are talking about 2004's Throw Down directed by Johnnie To, which is a personal film for To and is dedicated to the late Akira Kurosawa. Throw Down is one of the most challenging films discussed on the show. The film has so many levels and can be enjoyed as pure entertainment or as a zen parable. On top of listing all of their favorite Johnnie To films, Troy and Brad use this as an excuse to discuss Kurosawa and his debut film - Sanshiro Sugata. Timestamps; Intro - (2:26), Release Information - (10:11), Behind the Camera - (13:45), In Front of Camera - (34:40), Throw Down Discussion - (38:30), Is it a Bomb? - (68:16), Sanshiro Sugata Discussion - (69:24), Listener Feedback - (90:46), and Outro - (103:04)Throw Down is directed by Johnnie To and stars Louis Koo, Aaron Kwok, Cherrie Ying, and Tony Leung.If you want to leave feedback or suggest a movie bomb, please drop us a line at NotABombPod@gmail.com.
