Gangland Hit
By Robert Ito For filmmakers, there’s often no substitute for shooting on location. So when director Tsui Hark wanted to stage an elaborate action sequence for his latest movie, Time and Tide, he selected a real Hong Kong apartment complex for the shoot, then prayed that the hundreds of residents in the building would patiently endure days of raging gun battles and wall-shaking explosions. Not surprisingly, many tenants were not pleased about being at ground zero of one of the most ambitious Hong Kong action films in years. “When you hang people outside of buildings shooting at each other, it can get a little chaotic,” Tsui says. “We broke a few windows and air conditioners. There were lots of complaints.” |

Han Ong’s debut novel, Fixer Chao, is a tightly woven narrative, taking the reader on a journey into the homes and parties of New York City’s elite, as well as into the grimy bathroom stalls of the Port Authority Bus Station where businessmen pay for sex. Fast-paced and full of hip dialogue, this novel is a contemporary glance into the lives of the haves and have-nots, and how those two worlds collide. The Second Annual S.F.
