I don't see it mentioned here, but I think it's great to paid tribute to perhaps HK's most famous exports. I saw the lists of stars a couple of days ago, which included about 70 names. They include (the ones that I can translate to English at least)....

Bruce Lee
Shih Kien (he's the evil dude in Enter the Dragon, but the ultimate evil dude in HK cinema)
Michael Hui
Sam Hui
Andy Lau
Tony Leung
Brigitte Lin
Anita Mui
Leslie Cheung
Patrick Tse (Nic's father)
Stephen Chow
Jackie Chan
Samo Hung
John Woo
Maggie Cheung
Chow Yun-fat
Sir Run-run Shaw (of Shaw Brothers studio fame and owner of TVB)
Wong Kar-wai
Yuen Wo-ping
Jet Li
Michelle Yeoh
(my uncle) Chor Yuen (and his father too)

and many others

Kong Kong

[Brian Thibodeau]

For sheer volume of output in comparison to their Hollywood counterparts, the Hong Kong talent on that list (plus many, many more who will undoubtedly be added over time) more than deserve the recognition. At the peak of their careers, and in some cases even still, virtually everyone on that list appeared in or made five to 10 times more movies than anyone on this side of the Atlantic, and that's in addition to the modelling and singing careers many of them have simultaneously. That's one of the reason's I love HK Cinema; the talent actually WORK for a living. Being famous for being famous is arguably a much smaller part of the pie.
