Hong Kong and Beyond Podcast05/18/23 • 59 min
We discuss 2004 film Breaking News directed by one of our Top 5 Directors, Johnnie To. This fast paced police thriller stars Kelly Chen, Richie Ren and Nick Cheung. We ask, was this film ahead of it's time? We also delve into Kelly Chen's filmography. We go Beyond Hong Kong to the US and look at The Last Detail from 1973. This early Jack Nicholson film is a rare drama with perfectly placed comedic beats. Also stars Otis Young and Randy Quaid (pre Cousin Eddie!)
