The Hong Kong Movie Database (HKMDB) is a bilingual (English and
Chinese) website started in 1995 by Hong Kong resident Ryan Law to
provide a repository for information about movies originating from
Hong Kong and the people who created them.The database was initially
populated with data on over 6000 films, and reviews from the defunct
database hosted at egret0.stanford.edu. In subsequent years it has
expanded to contain information on more than 20,000 films and nearly
100,000 people, and includes films from Taiwan and China related to
Hong Kong cinema.HKMDB contains information about films, people, and
companies associated with Hong Kong cinema. This includes detailed
film credits for cast and crew members as well as image and portrait
galleries. The site also includes user-submitted film reviews.The
database is bi-lingual, so movies, people and companies are required
to have both Chinese and English information. Additional information
about individual films such as production companies, release dates,
and languages spoken is included where known. Information about cast
and crew members may include gender, birth dates and brief
biographies. In all cases, names of people, films and companies are in
Chinese, Romanized Chinese, and English.
