Hark Tsui

Highest Rated: 100% Peking Opera Blues (1986)

Birthday: Feb 15, 1950

Birthplace: Saigon, Vietnam

Leading figure of the Hong Kong film scene and head of his own production company, Film Workshop.

He is best known in the USA for his complex, breathlessly witty and exciting "Peking Opera Blues" (1986).
