- According to the Incredibly Strange Filmshow segment on Tsui, it is
- generally accepted that Tsui takes a keen interest in anything that
- bears his name. They also claim that many of the films that he produces,
- bear more of a resemblance to Hark films than the films done previously
- by the directors. Compare the early John Woo films to the ones that
- Hark produced and you get a good idea of what they mean. After people
- have worked for Hark, they do seem to change a bit.
