Sharp Tongue's reviews can be found on HKMDB under STSH.
Introducing the reviewers :
Sharp Tongue, Cinema Potato and JLH are collectively known as The Triad. We have in common that we are all writers, all male, and all passionately and completely crazy about HK films, which we watch together (and separately) as often as possible. CP and JLH do not have their own webpages.
* Sharp Tongue (or STSH, or Andrew in real life) is me, the writer of this site. I've been mad keen about HK movies since 1990, when I saw Kung Fu Vs Acrobatic, and shortly after, was converted from a fan to a fanatic by Chinese Ghost Story I & II.
* Cinema Potato (Warren Lawson) is most comfortable in his natural habitat, The Cinema, from whence he has written more reviews than I've had hot dinners. He has been a HK maniac since the early 70s.
* JLH (Jeff Harris) has the advantage of pay-tv, on which he watches oceans of HK TV as well as movies, and his fascination with all things HK goes back even further. Jeff also wrote an article about the peculiar HK genre wu'xia (flying people).
I would also like to thank Joseph Fierra and Tetsuo Takagi for their invaluable help in identifying HK actors and correcting some of my mis-identifications.
