Shaw Brothers Information

The Shaw Brothers started making movie in China before WWII. They are bascially the hollywood of the East, producing thousands of films of all genres and quality.

Some people disdain Shaw movies... well remeber kids that John Woo guy used to be Chang Cheh's lowly assistant... Where do you think he learned all that Heroic ummm ~~bonding~~ ummm you know that heroic stuff...

Then there's Liu Chia Liang or Leung Kar Leung depending on what you speak. Without this man there would have been _no_ Kung Fu in films. Yes, Wang Yu would have had brawling and had Bruce Lee lived maybe things would have been different but Liu Chia Liang was _the_ man responsible for doing real martial arts on screen! He is a genius at choreography and he used the real hung gar styles. More about this pivotal figure is on the way!

One of the long standing projects I have is a Movie listing database. I need the help of the fans. Whatever information you have: name, stars, director, year... please let me know! I want to do a searchable on-line database of as much Shaw as we can find!

Good background info is available at:

The official Shaw Site in Singapore! Yes gang they are on-line!
The Official line on Shaw history!

Also, for the current poop on TVB Investor Relations Asia - Television Brodcasts Ltd. Shaw is also a big company in Singapore.
