Donnie Yen, as a member of the CPPCC at China's Two Sessions, when asked about Taiwanese authorities taking action against Taiwanese celebrities who've shared 'Taiwan, province of China' messages on social media. Dude, there's only one right answer you're allowed to give.

Another amazing Johnnie To interview dropped, this time from the BBC. Exceptionally frank and outspoken as usual, going into detail his own creative block, the state of the industry, and the political situation in Hong Kong. Thread of highlights (when I get to it) 🧵

Johnnie To making a wish at his 70th birthday party last night. From left to right I spy directors Jonathan Li, Soi Cheang, and Wai Ka-fai, Louis Koo, Milkyway Image CEO Elaine Chu, and Wong Bo-lin (Mrs. To). I think it's screenwriter Yau Nai-hoi hiding behind Koo.

Kenji Tanigaki's acceptance speech for Best Action Choreography (for Twilight of the Warriors) at the 43rd Hong Kong Film Awards was probably my favourite of the night. Lovely moment between him and Yasuaki Kurata, whom he trained under, too.

I subbed the trailer for Tsui Hark's upcoming New Year wuxia blockbuster The Legend of the Condor Heroes: The Great Hero. It was also meant to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the birth of Jin Yong/Louis Cha, who once said he never wanted Tsui touching his work ever again.

Director Chu Yen-ping on how all those crazy old Taiwanese movies like Golden Queen's Commando and Fantasy Mission Force managed to have such massive ensemble casts, and why they all look like VCDs of VHS tapes now. (The answer is organised crime)
