I do have the book about Chang Cheh which I bought in HK.

Its quite a good read. Any CC fan should pick it up. I understand the Chinese version is longer than the English version. Which one did you purchase?

And an FYI... the coolasscinema site listed above is run by venoms5 who originally posted that CC piece in the 'Martial Arts Film Reference' section of the forum. If you enjoyed that article, I recommend checking out some of the other Shaw directors he wrote about as well.

The Cheh article at my site is a lot more fleshed out and will be much longer than the one I posted here some time back. I have someone who can translate Chinese now for those SS and HKMN magazines, but finding a lot of time for her to do so is the problem.

I also did a piece on what I feel are Cheh's best....

I bought the English edition, but I didn't know that the Chinese edition would contain more information.

The Chinese version actually contains the movie reviews that he wrote. That's apparently the difference between the two versions.
