Hong Kong Retro Movie Tour ② “Comedy King,” Stephen Chow’s Film Where You Never Get Tired of Just Staring at the Sea All Day at Sek O Beach

Among Hong Kong films, it seems there is none that so deeply absorbs the mood of a place as much as Comedy King. With the exception of the film sets and a nightclub or two, it was shot almost entirely at Sek O Beach, located at the far southeastern tip of Hong Kong Island.

Hong Kong Retro Movie Tour ③ ‘Kowloon Walled City: The Untold Stories’ — The Kowloon Walled City Park Set That Revives Memories of Hong Kong Cinema

I sometimes hold an ashtray too. In the second meeting after director Hou Hsiao-hsien and actor Tony Leung's 〈Days of Being Wild〉 (1989), there is a scene in 〈In the Mood for Love〉 (1998) where Tony Leung suddenly acts out in a fit of rage.

The 1967 film 〈A Better Tomorrow〉 is considered one of the top 100 Hong Kong films of all time by 'Time Out Hong Kong' and has had a significant influence on John Woo's 〈A Better Tomorrow〉 (1986).
Is there an original 〈A Better Tomorrow〉 besides Chow Yun-fat's version. It is the 1967 film 〈A Better Tomorrow〉 directed by Yeung Kwan. Lee Cheuk-hung (played by Leslie Cheung) is arrested as a safecracker and is released after serving over ten years.
