The Yin and Yang of Chow Yun-Fat
This is probably the site you were wishing THIS one was. Current news about CYF,
fan polls, discussion, fan registry... lots of good stuff. Beautiful design (good
job, Trinia!). Free Man is mostly a site about CYF's past, Yin and Yang is mostly about
his present and future. Check it out!
The Illuminated Lantern
While not devoted strictly to Chow Yun-Fat, this is a fascinating and
well-written online newsletter which delves into subjects related to
Asian Cinema. Issue 2 touches upon Chinese Gambling and will be of interest to
fans of God of Gamblers and similar films; Issue 1 deals with Taoist priests and
their depiction in Asian Cinema. Not a dry and scholarly work, this is fresh and
vibrant writing. Highly recommended to anyone who is interested in the symbolism often
used in Chinese movies.
the Hong Kong Movie Database
A searchable database of HK films, if you're looking for basic info, a good place
to start.
the Internet Movie Database listing for Chow Yun-Fat
While not strictly non-commercial (they are now allied with amazon.com), the
Internet Movie Database is a very valuable resource for information on CYF's
films. This link will take you directly to a listing of his works in their database;
it is admirably complete, only a very early television show or two seems to be missing.
There are a couple of errors in the database (mainly films attributed to CYF in which
he did not appear). As you will notice, there is a direct link to the IMDb listing
for each CYF film which I have reviewed on this site; I strongly encourage everyone
who has seen the CYF film in question to go to the IMDb and register your vote on the
quality of each film. The more votes the higher CYF scores in their interest rankings.
Pickel's Chow Yun-Fat Fan Page
A very nice site, available in both Japanese and English (the link
above leads to the English version) devoted to The Man. Includes a
fun games page, a virtual theatre and a message board.
Chow Yun-Fat, God of Actors
This site is no longer active though the maintainer writes the archives will
remain in place.

Fun Links
The Official Simon Yam Fan Site
Simon Yam, bad bad boy of Hong Kong film, has given his official blessing to this very nice site. Information on his films, many
pictures, fun commentary.
Alternative Reel
A bit raunchy and quite witty, Alternative Reel offers some of the
more interesting (and spot-on) film reviews on the Web. Check out
their "offbeat cinema" area; those of us who have often felt
pushed off into some sort of ghetto because we enjoy HK films will
be gratified that not everybody thinks Meg Ryan is the
be-all and end-all of dramatic achievement.
Molly Choi's Cherie Chung Homepage
Molly from Korea has put together a super page about the actress Cherie
Chung, a frequent castmate of CYF. A profile, screen captures,
pics and info on Cherie and her works are featured. There's also
some info on Molly and one of her great drawings (of none other
than CYF). A web board (in Korean) and a guest book (multi-lingual)
add a nice touch to the site. The page is mainly in English, so stop
by even if you don't have Korean language support.
Deanna Yusoff|Divide and Continue
A very nice page devoted to the lovely Deanna Yusoff, who
portrayed the gentle Lady Thiang in the film Anna and The
King. Until I found this page I had no idea of the range of
her talents. Visit this page for more information on the talented
actress, model and singer. An introduction, discography and a very nice
photo gallery are included. Very nice.
Quentin Tarantino is a Loser!
This site seems to have disappeared, but the sentiment holds.
Kibo.com
What can I say? It's Kibo's site.
