"Amon" Chow??!

I think I brought this up here a long, long time ago but never got a response.

I remember in many of my old HK movie mags (particularly Cinemart), Chow Yun Fat was often referred to by another, strange english name... "Amon Chow".

Anyone have a clue as to the origin of this bizarre moniker?

I even asked Terrence Cheng about this when I met him by chance once a couple of years back.

He busted his gut laughing when he heard the name, but didn't remember it.

Who the hell comes up with these names anyway?!

hey,

even though I think there are prints of 70s movies of his where this name was used, I also heard something vague a while back that it WAS the name Chow was more known as in Taiwan.
