| | Local and Global Identity: Whither Hong Kong |
 | | For much of its history, Hong Kong was a Crown Colony of Britain, yet it had created a distinct cinema that had nothing or little to do with Britain. | | | This has remained true as a general principle in spite of the recent critical writings of Hong Kong cinema that have appeared in the West, and while Hong Kong cinema has won cult admiration from its legions of "fanboys", its character and identity remains something of an enigma. | | | He currently resides in Melbourne, Australia, where he does some part time teaching at RMIT University and is working on a thesis which he hopes to publish as a book. |

| | Well, It's got the team of women kicking ass and it's got Hong Kong style martial arts, all the ingredients you need for a GWG film. | | | American films pretty much suck when it comes to staging martial arts sequences--due to the fact there is no large pool of talented martial artist actors or choreographers in America to draw upon--so the only option is to import talent from Hong Kong. | | | Well, a lot of it has to do with the martial arts. |

| | The sole (and I mean sole) saving grace is Athena Chu Yan, who is wonderfully appealing as a writer whose trashy sex novels are a huge success despite the fact that she knows almost nothing about sex. | | | This clever black comedy has more genuine laughs than any other HK movie I've seen in some time and makes excellent use of Eric Kot and (especially) Cheung Tat-ming. | | | This film (about an affluent woman whose identity is stolen) manages to be astonishingly contrived, astonishingly predictable, and astonishingly dumb. |
