Classic Shaw Brothers martial arts movies showing on the big screen in magnificent new prints. Much Ti Lung in this offering! Fluff from October 31st 2001 The Sun reports that father and son Ti Lung and Shaun Tam Jun-Yin (left) will soon work together on Taiwanese director Chu Yen-Ping's new film FUI SIK 2002 (lit. GRAY 2002). In it, Ti Lung will be playing an aging hitman who goes up against an agressive up-and-comer played by Tam. Shooting is set to begin in November with Taiwanese actress Yu Li co-starring. According to The Sun, Ti was originally reluctant to take the role because he did not want to interfere in his son's developing career. However, the character and the script were too good to refuse. Further, Ti reportedly hopes that the project will help raise Tam's profile in Taiwan. Commenting on the prospect of working with his father, Shaun Tam remarked: "Of course I'm nervous about working with him! When we are at home, it's already awkward because we don't have much to talk about. When he's on set, he's even more serious. The pressure is on! However, I told him that when we are acting, he shouldn't hold anything back because I'm his son. I told him to treat me like any other actor. Actually, the biggest hurdle isn't working with him, it's speaking Mandarin Taiwanese style. I'm already practising!" In related news, Tam will sing the theme song for the movie.

It seems he will be at HKTA functions but will not be involved with the Ad campaign. The Straits Times From Sanney: (Nov. 1999) Veteran Shaw Brothers movie actor Ti Lung has been the first member of the Hong Kong show business community to openly criticise Jackie Chan's handling of his recent paternity scandal. Chan is alleged to be the father of actress Elaine Ng Yee-lai's new-born baby daughter. Ti Lung, who played Chan's father in the film 'Drunken Master II', told reporters he had called to offer Chan his advice, but the latter had gone his own way. Ti said that he felt the conditions laid down by Chan for a press conference concerning the affair were "authoritarian and unreasonable." Ti Lung observed that Chan has a responsibility as a role model within the entertainment industry. The actor even wrote a short poem for Chan, which means, roughly translated : 'Regrets belong to the past / avoid future mistakes'.
