Gentlemen of Asskickery: The Dapper Fist of Zhang Jin.




Zhang Jin was Zhang Ziyi's stunt double in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) and was a stunt performer in Hero (2002). He won Best Supporting Actor at the Hong Kong Film awards for his portrayal of Ma San in Wong Kar-Wai's tribute to Ip Man, The Grandmaster (201.  He was Ghost Eyes in From Vegas To Macau (2014) and Wu Long in the new Wong Fei-Hong movie, Rise Of The Legend (2014). He played the young Mue Che in Shaolin vs. Evil Dead: Ultimate Power (2006).

And from the SPL 2 stills and posters, it looks like Zhang Jin is Master of Dapper Fist.


Dapperly villainous.
Fine, I'll take off my jacket, but only because there's two of you.

Fit is crucial in a duel.


Wu Jing has been framed and imprisoned for fashion crimes.
And then there is Louis Koo. What is he even doing? Do you even recognize him?


See Zhang Jin kick ass with style tonight!

RIGOR MORTIS: Juno Mak: Director and Pop Star!


According to his Chapel of Dawn site, Juno Mak is a Pisces, enjoys comics and free-fighting in his spare time and his favorite food is hot pot and his favorite song is Metallica's "Sad But True." 
And just by looking there, you can probably tell that the Rigor Mortis director has a career going besides making scary vampire movies. He's a pop singer with sweet music videos, fine dance moves and twelve albums (two with special releases) to his name.
So let's enjoy a couple of his music videos.





As if becomming a popstar at 18 isn't enough, Mak's acted in four films,  Dream Home (2010);


 Revenge: A Love Story (2010);



As well as in Let's Go (2011);  and the "Ah Wai, 'The Big Head'" segment, Por See Yee (2007).

He's also teamed up with his Hong Kong music label, Silly Things, to create his own clothing label, Chapel of Dawn, taking its name from his 2007 album. There are special items the proceeds of which go to charity.
After the Sichuan earthquake happened in May 2008, Juno originated a charity campaign, to sell charity items produced by "Chapel of Dawn" in Hong Kong, Japan, France and the US. Later on, Juno kept developing projects under the concept of “Chapel of Dawn” by collaborating with his old or newly made partners like "Colette”, "Hello Kitty", "Backbone", Mihara Yasuhiro and many others come and counting.
And here's his blog at Silly Thing's Think Silly community.
