We had the pleasure of interviewing Hong Kong cinema trendsetter and legend Tsui Hark (the man behind Zu: Warriors From The Magic Mountain, Once Upon A Time In China, Blade, Peking Opera Blues plus much more… not enough can be said so let’s not say too much!) who was kind enough to share with us his thoughts on the past and the now, including on Detective Dee: Mystery Of The Phantom Flame (available now on UK dvd and Blu Ray).
Recapping his staycation and trimming The Banned List considerably, Stoo skims through some rewatchable classics before writing a love letter to current Hong Kong Andy Lau cinema. Detective Dee and the Mystery of Phantom Flame and Shaolin get their due while Ken compares an original Taiwan movie to IFD’s officially exterminated treatment of it.

We got hit up a yesterday with the brand spanking new look to Jade Screen Magazine! Pretty pretty right? (Click here for Enlarge Image) Jade Screen is the bi-monthly Asian Action Magazine! Augusts issue is draped with Andy Lau from Detective Dee with interviews with both Andy Lau and Tsui Hark.
There is also a Young and Dangerous article penned by yours truly! NO! Not Ken! He’s no even watched it yet! If you read my Young and Dangerous article from Impact Magazine back in 2007, this is a updated re-written version, sort of; Young and Dangerous article 2.0!
They’ve also covered Sex and Zen 3D and it’s arrival to UK Shore this September! Can’t wait, right?
The Magazine costs £3.95 and can be found in all good newsagants (and some shit ones!) or you can buy it directly from Jade-Screen.Com
