Movie review: "On His Majesty's Secret Service"
Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 6:12AM / Standard Entry / Members only

Louis Koo does his best Stephen Chow imitation in On His Majesty's Secret Service, a new comedy helmed by Wong Jing. Taking more than a bit of inspiration from Forbidden City Cop -- which, not coincidentally, was also produced by Wong -- Koo plays a royal guard that uses his wits, rather than his fists, to get out of sticky situations. Like most of Wong's other releases, this goes all over the map, but it somehow ends up still being a fairly solid movie.

Hong Kong Film Net is one of the largest and longest-running sites dedicated to Hong Kong movies.

Created in 1998 as a small John Woo tribute site, it has since expanded to having over 1000 reviews, with almost 1800 pages of content overall. It is also home to the Hong Kong Movies FAQ.

HKFilm.net has been referenced in books such as "Dragon: Asian Action & Cult Cinema" and on DVD commentaries like "My Schoolmate the Barbarian".

Materials on the site have also provided references for organizations like the Far East Film Festival in Udine, Italy.

But don't think that HKFilm.net is ever taking itself too seriously -- the steady beer intake of the webmaster will insure that its' virtual tongue is always firmly planted in cheek.

Along with informative sections like the biographies of dozens of stars and directors, HKFilm.net also takes a look at things like Hong Kong movie-related video games and is the home to several MST3K-esque commentaries done with buddies from fellow Asian movie review sites like City on Fire.

So, if you're a well-honed vet or a mewling newbie to the world of Hong Kong movies, step on over and prepare yourself for the unmigitated smorgasboard of filmic delights that awaits.
