Ijust watched a flick I picked up off of Torrentspy called House Of Fury. It was actually really good (suprising, because torrentspy usually hosts crap). It had Anthony Wong (how can ya not love his stuff?) and was choreographed by Woo Ping Yuen. Add a hot chick that knows her martial arts with a decent story and you've got a winner.

By the by...why do HK actors tend to change their names to more western names versus Mandarin actors? Aside from last names, this film's cast reads like it could be a U.S. flick. Anthony, Stephen, Michael, Gillian, Daniel, Charlene, Jake, etc. What gives? Is HK just more prone to western culture than...say...everywhere else?
