Great works ! . No research done so far , or autobiography written on famous stars like Wu Lai Chee ,Yu Soo Chau and Yam Yin ? The Eastern world too busy churning up great movies and the West kept copying their movies. For instance, Wong Ang made so many episodes which I never seen before and no one knew how many episodes they made? Yet the West copied their story and gadgets, like James Bond.. so as Charlie Angels .Xena and Hercules ( copied martial arts ).
