outstanding director. his "early ages" are underrated: the big heat, executioners, the barefooted kid (wonderful!), loving you, a moment of romance 3 and mad monk are good movies. and his producer/deus ex machina career is outstanding too (see expect the unexpected, the odd one dies, beyond hypotermia, intruder...)
To's Milky Way Films should have a permanent shooting permit on HK streets. They consistently show the best of the city and tightly integrate it into the stories. Bravo!
Is it all right if I consider Needing You and Love on a Diet to be his greatest films? Why not add them? After all, they do for comedy what the films listed here do for the gangster genre.
I watched Election 1 and 2 at the Music Box Theatre in Chicago last year and I became hooked. Very well done!
