I was in BlockBuster back in the day when I still rented VHS tapes. I saw the cover of this lousy Hong Kong Jackie Chan flick called Gorgeous

The movie was very annoying. But the actress was so hot I had to find more of her flicks. Anyway, for a time this was one of my favorite sites:

http://shuqi.org/

Unfortunately it looks like the site has not been updated since around 2010.  But there are still some pics on the site where the actress displays the merchandise.  If you are offended by seeing stunning women naked then I recommend not visiting the Multimedia page on the site.

More recent movie info for Shu Qi is on this site:

Reviews of her classic works can be found here:

Just as an aside, I must imagine Shu Qi was criticized early in her career or in acting class for chewing the furniture during a dying scene.  If you watch The Return of Chen Zen you'll see what I mean.  She gets her revenge. :)

Alas she seems to be in the big box office draw cash it in quick phase of her career. She can pretty much phone it in however she likes since she's still hot.  But I see the end of an era on the horizon.  If you are not into Hong Kong flicks I think the movies she made in the 90s still work.  She was hot, cute and you could see the acting potential. Mid to late 90's may be a good place to start.  Many of the DVDs were only letterboxed. But towards the end of the 90s they started to catch onto anamorphic 16x9. If you liked any of the Charly's Angels movies I recommend Martial Angels and So Close.  Wire fu only more fun, hotter babes, and done better than Drew Barrymore.

Ha!  I thought to myself, "That looks like the actress from 'The Transporter'."

DUH!   :)

Yep. But don't judge too harshly. Her Hong Kong flicks(except maybe for a few of the "young and dangerous" series) were way better than Transporter.  If you don't mind seeing her boobs watch Viva Erotica. A very funny well made flick about an "arty director" forced to make a skin flick due to financial woes.

Another of her flicks I watched early on was City of Glass. Albeit a "chick flick" but that's where they tend to stick the hottest babes. Otherwise they kill them off early to cut down on payroll. I also liked Iron Sister.

Many of her Hong Kong flicks weren't distributed here. You can still find some at DDDHouse.com. If you don't have a "region free" player look on videohelp.com.  Many of the major players like Phillips allow you to set the region code to 0 using the remote if you know the sequence.  So far I've purchased 3 different model Phillips DVD players and I was able to set them all to 0 using the remote hack from videohelp.com's list.

I just watched an old film of her's last night. I don't think I ever watched it all the way through before. The title was For Bad Boys Only

Wow!! I didn't realize hot chicks had such bad luck.  She plays an Olympic runner who ends up in a wheel chair, a super hot hair dresser daughter of the Olympic runner who gets half her face burned off(but of course her boyfriend still loves her) and a genetic clone( well, she plays 11 of them.. the 10 rejects and the one that worked(#11) ).

Ekin Chen plays some detective who finds first loves of rich guys that regret not marrying them(can you really make a living doing that?)  Really strange stuff!! But that's the "charm" of old HK flicks. :)
