TSUI KAM KONG
HIS FILMOGRAPHY

1994 - 2000 

1994 : Deadful Melody by Ng Ming Keng with Yuen Biao - Flax Ching Hsia - Wu My - Carina Lau - Flax Wei.

Enough unknown, one of the last good wu xia pian reports the story of a magic quadrant coveted by the schools of martial arts. Master Wong Tung and his family lost their life for its protection. Only her small daughter could flee away with the instrument. Sixteen years after, the quadrant appears again, Him Lun (Yuen Biao) must escort it to Hon Sue. On the path, Lun meet ambushes and treacheries.

This movie is a small jewel, thanks to a rhythm which never stops, reversals of situation, aerial beautiful combats, bodies exploding thanks to the simple vibrations of the magic quadrant and some other things of the same quality. As well as Swordsman (the search of the magic object which make possible utter reign on the world of the Martial arts), Deadful Melody reaches easily the level of its model. To discover. ****

The Lovers by Tsui Hark with Charlie Yeung - Nicky Wu - Carrie Ng - Lau Shun - Suen Ming
****

Wonder Seven by Ching Siu Tung with Michelle Yeoh - Kent Cheng - Lee Ning - Hung Yan Yan - Andy Today - Roger Kwok
A special team of kungfu warriors have to maintain the order before the Takeover. They must fight against a powerful organization which has infiltrated the Chinese Government. Betrayed by their superiors and abandonned by their head (TKK), they would have to hope on mysterious Michelle Yeoh to be able to beat this enemy.

A modern Polar where Ching Siu Tung shows his masterliness in disproportion and the outbidding. Made with (weak) means of HK, this very good serie B is epic, the film remains nevertheless good (moreover, the involving music isnot badly). ***

The Three Swordsmen by Johnny To / Ching Siu Tung with Andy Lau - Flax Ching Hsia - Yu Li - Leung If Ho - Tung Wai Wai.
According to a manga "Dou Kim Siu " (that mean " Saber, Sword, smile "!)
.

Siu Sam Siu (Andy Lau), an eminent epeist, really isn't lucky, everyone wants to catch him and kill him. Fortunately, charming Butterfly love him and will be able to comfort him. Many characters ravel, muddling more and more a history which was already not so clearly at the beginning. In short, for the end you have to know that the three best swordmen will be there for the final combat (see title).

The kind of very fast the wu xia pian really starts to be blown. The style is besides there but it isn't very original, basic music is a remake of the music of the Last of Mohicans andAkira (unknown movies...), and it is too complex. So, it's a movie for those who really love Wu Xia Pan. **

A Chinese Torture Chamber Story by Wong Jing with Yung Hung - Ng Kai Wah - Lam Hing Lung.

Great Conqueror's Concubine I & II aka King of Western Chu by Stephen Shin with Gong Li - Rosamund Kwan - Wang Lun Wei - Chang Yi Feng - Zhang Yimou.
Large historical fresco (big coproduction sino-HK) which is about the internal fights between various rebellious Generals who want to relieve the Empire Qin and would give power to the Han. Rosamund Kwan and Gong Li are the respective women of the two conquerors. Brothers and sisters, they would betray the links which linked them.

The production has the means of its ambitions : the battles between several thousands of soldier are worthy of Kurosawa, it is directed in real places. The scenes of action are realistic. It is good but much too serious. For historians of Old China. **

God of Gamblers The Return by Wong Jing with Chow Yun-Fat - Chingamy Yau - Tony Leung Kar Fai - Wu Chien Link - Tse Miu - Charles Heung
I think that all the readers have seen this film. So ***

Ancient Chinese Whorehouse by Wong Jing avec Yung Hung.

Law on the Brink

 1995 : Dragon Kids aka China Dragon by Chu Yen-Ping with Sik Siu Lung - Yip Chuen-chun - Kok Siu-man Takeshi Kaneshiro - Ng Man Tat
Two disciples of Shaolin were selected to represent China in a contest of martial arts and supernatural capacities in Hawaii. But they have a secret mission : they have to recover a confidential document about a nuclear power.

During a certain time (fortunately very short), there was in HK a fashion for films with kids disciples of Shaolin (Shaolin Popeye 1, 2 and 3 - Shaolin Kids - Dragon from Shaolin...) as gifted as their elder. It is a good idea, especially cause the fights are good. But it is really irritating when one must bear the jokes of these young actors in short trousers. Will your nephew or your cousin find that good, but you ? *

Full Throttle by Derek Yee with Andy Lau - Gigi Leung - Chin Kar Lok - David Wu - Paul Chun.
Andy Lau lived hard days with his father since his mother have died. Moreover, his girl friend is frightened each time that he takes his powerful motorbike. His best friend would become his stronger rival on the dangerous roads of HK, there are days where one would better stay at home.

This last consulting is also true for all those which would try to find the VCD to see this film. The only good thing is the motorbike race in the town. *

60 Million Dollar Man by Lee Lik Chi with Chow Sing Chi - Ng Man Tat - Gigi Leung.

Shing is a tainted kid whose father is filthy rich. He thinks that all can be bought, even the love of Sylvia, a friend of class. After a first failure, he decides to go to the house of Sylvia which is the girl of a notorious gangster. Thinking that his secrecies were discovered, the gangster does not hesitate to explode the car of the really unhappy Shing. An insane professor (TKK) give again life to him, Shing has a new body with extraordinary capacities of transformation into any object of the everyday life (toaster, microwave, sprinkler pipe, suction, etc)!!!!!!

Beginning normally, the film goes unrelentingly towards the most complete delirious in his second part. The most insane visual gags are possible. Parodying at certain times the Pull Fiction and The Mark, 60 Million $ Man must be seen. The three men Chow Sing Chi, Ng Man Tat and Tsui Kam Kong are worthy of the best Tex Avery (you must see Stephen Chow transformed into water closet). To be discovered urgently. ****

01:00 AM by Yip Wei Suen with Anita Yuen - Chan Siu Chun - Veronica Yip - Wong Fan Ming.

 1996 : Sex and Zen II by Chin Man Kei with Loretta Lee - Shu IQ - Ben Ng.

Leslie Cheung is a director in 
Viva Erotica

Viva Erotica by Yee Tung Shing with Leslie Cheung - Lau Ching Wan - Shu IQ - Karen Joy - Law Kar Ying - Allen Ting Chi Chun.
A director agrees to make a pornographic film to win a little money. But very quickly the difficulties accumulate, its deontology of director is put to the test...

Specialized in the melodrama with films like C'est la vie mon chéri or Full Throttle, Yee Tung Shing try another things by tackling the crisis of the HK movies industry. If the film does not save us from all the commonplaces of a simple scenario, the director is without concession, not hesitating to be moralist, which is rather rare in Hong kong, the city where money is king. Film about the cinema, the references are obviously numerous. Tsui Kam Kong plays almost his own role. Actor of category 3 called the sex maniac, he is actually a loving father. Reality or fiction? * * *

God of Gamblers 3 - The Early Training course by Wong Jing with Lay Leon - Anita Yuen - Jordan Chan - Francis Ng - Chung King Fei - Gigi Leung.
This prequel tells us how KB Chun became God Of Gamblers.

Wong Jing comes back once again on the character who made his fortune. Once more the scenario is a large mixture. One goes from the suspense to humour, from action to drama, with of course the inevitable parts of card. But unlike the preceding episodes where the scenes of plays were rather short compared to what one had the right to wait for, they are numerous and completely delirious in this Early Stage. A good small entertainment. * * *
