Losin' It and Rock of Ages.
The background reminds me of a lozenge, especially the Lockets brand.
I'm reminded of a Winger song which goes "She's only seventeen."
Agreed. In 1982, a female martial artist named Anne Winton was stabbed to death.
He had an affair with Tawny Kitaen: https://popcultmaster.com/2021/06/03/fawning-over-tawny/
Jeanne Tripplehorn would have been preferable.
His best movies for martial arts are the ones where he still had blond hair. Once his hair got brown, the quality went down.
In a book about his films, director Peter Chan said: <i>"The film’s main theme is equilibrium, which is similar to the doctrine of the five elements in Taoism and even vaguely resembles the Yin and Yang. This is exemplified by the dialogues on accomplices in what is my favourite scene. If Tang Wei’s husband in the film hadn’t abandoned her, Donnie Yen would not have married her. It has to do with karma - each sin committed by an individual is a sin commited by all. In a sense, the world is a manifestation of the butterfly effect, and we are all accomplices. Even the most accomplished martial artist cannot overcome the forces of karma."</i>
In a book about director Peter Chan, he said: <i>"At one point in the script development phase, someone pointed out that the plot resembled an episode of CSI. I was inclined to agree despite never having seen the show. To me, House was the more obvious influence - Takeshi Kaneshiro’s character was definitely inspired by Dr. Gregory House."</i>
They could have got Brion James for part 3, and John Lone for part 4.
