Ah... Chow Yun-Fat. Talk about someone we'd love to love and hate to hate. Lately his public image seems to be defined by controversial career choices and diva-like behavior, so much so that at the mention of his name I now feel an apprehensive twitch (haha..) on top of the familiar warm glow I used to feel...
But it's impossible to ditch him, because when he is coupled to even halfway decent material, he is still a force of nature. Say what you want about the failings of Zhang Yimou's "Curse of the Golden Flower", Chow Yun-Fat's performance wasn't one of them. And in the late eighties and early nineties, was there a cooler actor on the planet?
So once again I'm going to use a turn in the Twitch-O-Meter to do a gallery of 5 close-ups of one of my favorite thespians. Find them after the brak and guess which 5 movies they're from.
No competition, no prizes, just for fun, try to see how far you get without using IMDB.
And I'll post the answers on Tuesday. Earlier if someone has all 5 of them right, which is HIGHLY likely if previous quizzes are to be believed (I give this one less than one hour to be honest...).
Oh, and no points for recognizing inspector Tequila from "Hardboiled" in the top-left corner...
Good luck!
This article was posted at exactly the same time as we ported from the previous site-format to the current one, and that unfortunately has removed all comments.
Rest asured this quiz was indeed guessed, and the correct answers were (from left to right) :
1: Seventh Curse
2: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
3: The Killer
4: Curse of the Golden Flower
5: Pirates of the Caribbean III: At World's End
