Tony Chiu-Wai Leung

Role: 

Happy Together

Tony Leung (Hero, Red Cliff) and Leslie Cheung (Knock Off) play a pair of lovers living out the waning days of their relationship as expatriates in Buenos Aires. Lusty tango bars, the salsa music of the La Boca sidewalks, and a hypnotic visit to the nearby Iguazu Falls give further dimension to the tensions growing between the two lovers. From Director Wong Kar-Wai (Chungking Express, My Blueberry Nights, Fallen Angels). Note: filed under "World of Wong Kar Wai" in Drama.

Chungking Express

Two stories of heartbroken police officers trying to move on from ex-lovers. First story has Cop 223 (Takeshi Kaneshiro) and his intertwined fate with a mysterious woman in a blonde wig. Second story with Cop 663 (Tony Leung Chiu-wai) has his attention roused by a food stand employee Faye (Faye Wong). Anything goes in Wong's gloriously shot and utterly unexpected charmer, which cemented the sex appeal of its gorgeous stars and forever turned canned pineapple and the Mamas and the Papas' "California Dreamin'" into tokens of romantic longing.

Days Of Being Wild

Wong Kar-Wai's follow up to 'As Tears Go By' (1988) marked a turning point in Eastern cinema, straddling both 'art house' and action features. Set in Hong Kong in 1960 during a sweltering summer it follows Yuddi's (Leslie Cheung) search for some meaning in his life. He has affairs with two beautiful women and hangs out with his friends, before leaving for the Philippines in search of his mother. Note: filed under "World of Wong Kar Wai" in Drama.

In The Mood For Love

Hong Kong, 1962: Chow Mo-wan (Tony Leung Chiu-wai) and Su Li-zhen (Maggie Cheung Man-yuk) move into neighboring apartments on the same day. Their encounters are formal and polite-until a discovery about their spouses creates an intimate bond between them. At once delicately mannered and visually extravagant, Wong Kar-wai’s In the Mood for Love is a masterful evocation of romantic longing and fleeting moments.

Red Cliff: Part I & Part II

Red Cliff, the epic historical drama based on a legendary 208 A.D. battle that heralded the end of the Han Dynasty. A power hungry Prime Minister-turned-General Cao Cao seeks permission from the Han dynasty Emperor to organize a southward-bound mission designed to crush the two troublesome warlords who stand in his way, Liu Bei and Sun Quan. Vastly outnumbered by Cao Cao's brutal, fast-approaching army, the warlords band together to mount a heroic campaign - unrivaled in history - that changes the face of China forever.

The Grandmaster

From the acclaimed director/writer Wong Kar Wai comes an epic tale inspired by the life of the warrior hero who taught Bruce Lee. Asian superstar Tony Leung (In The Mood For Love) portrays legendary kung fu master lp Man, who survived the turmoil of 1930s China to change the world of martial arts forever. Ziyi Zhang (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) and Chang Chen (Red Cliff) co-star in this visually stunning saga of love, honor and vengeance, featuring breathtaking action choreography by Yuen Wo Ping (The Matrix, Kill Bill).

Gorgeous

World-famous action hero Jackie Chan (Rush Hour, Rumble In The Bronx) is the dashing Hong Kong millionaire businessman C.N., who battles his corporate rival Howie by day and wines and dines sexy women by night. C.N. faces his greatest challenge when he meets beautiful young country girl Bu and falls hopelessly in love! New to glamorous Hong Kong from her tiny hometown fishing village, Bu takes on the identity of a notorious gangster's girlfriend to win C.N.'s heart. But when Howie sets a vicious surprise trap for him, C.N. must prepare to fight for his lady, and his life!
