Shawscope Redemption: Hardest-Working Nobodies: Innkeepers
http://shawscoperedemption.blogspot.com/2011/05/hardest-working-nobodies-innkeepers.html
Tuesday, May 17, 2011. Whether they’re keeping inns or outs. The innkeepers fill an important niche in the ecology of the Hong Kong action film of the ‘70s and ‘80s. The innkeeper—despite his apparent humble and vulnerable station—represents nominal, geographical (and ultimately impotent) authority in a world dominated by strong, usually itinerate, individuals. These are some seriously dedicated motherfuckers. Or, as we suspect is the darker, truer kernel: this was the Shaw Studios retirement plan. Wheth...

Shawscope Redemption: Bio: Ku Feng
http://shawscoperedemption.blogspot.com/2012/02/bio-ku-feng.html
Thursday, February 9, 2012. To anyone who’s viewed their fair share of Shaw’s output, Ku Feng is easily one of the most familiar faces. He appeared in over 100 movies, and was Shaw’s best character actor, at least from the late ‘60s until the final fateful moment the studio shuttered its movie division. Word has it that it was his hand that switched off the lights for the last time. A few of Ku Feng’s stand-out roles include Wong Yu’s dad in the odd couple/buddy movie, Kid with a Tattoo. And the overly-s...

Shawscope Redemption: Review: Gang Master (1982)
http://shawscoperedemption.blogspot.com/2011/04/review-gang-master-tsui-siu-ming-1982.html
Monday, April 25, 2011. Review: Gang Master (1982). GANG MASTER, 1982. Directed by Tsui Siu Ming. Starring Chen Kuan-tai, Hui Tien-sze, Liang Hsiao-lung, Pai Piao, Tai Liang-chun. As the new leader of an anti-Yuan triad versus Chen Kuan Tai as a Yuan general. People die, accusations fly, plots are framed up, fisticuffs and hijinks ensue. Also, Yuen Tak dabbles in “yellow peril”-face and is suitably punished. Austin Wai is close to the edge in. What Do We Have to Say? Tsui Siu Ming apparently did some cho...

Shawscope Redemption: Behind the Scenes
http://shawscoperedemption.blogspot.com/p/behind-scenes.html
Catch-all for any historical or otherwise Shaw-studios related information. Like the fact that Wong Yu got hired and names simply for the fact that Sir Run Run was pissed at Jimmy Wang Yu for breaking contract and jumping ship and thought that he (Wong Yu) looked like a goofy version of JWY.
