It doesn't really matter I guess, but i personally voted for Best Actor, Director, Martial Artist etc. Like you, if I was voting for favourite, i'd have gone for Samo Hung over Yuen Biao.

Favourite HK Actor: Jackie Chan
Favourite HK Actress: Michelle Yeoh

Favourite HK Director: John Woo
Favourite HK Action Director/Fight Choreographer: Woo Ping

Favourite HK Martial Artist: Jet Li

Who would you most like to see break into the US market: Maybe Collin Chou (aka Sing Ngai), he's in a few Jet Li films.

Favourite Hero: Ka Kui in Police Story
Favourite Villian: Gô Fujita in Fist of Legend

Best HK Fight Scene: Final fight in Fist of Legend
Best HK Shootout/Action Scene: 2000 AD car park shootout.

Funniest HK scene: When Police Chief in Miracles is conned out of his money. This is a tough one, best I can think of at the mo.

BTW: Although not on the list Miracles is one of all time favourite HK Flicks, just proves how good a film maker Jackie Chan is! Beautiful cinematography!

[Shingster]

Looks like Colin Chou as a good chance at breeaking into the American market, as it's him who's got the role in The Matrix that Jet Li passed on.

[wong fei hong]

Ngai Sing in the Matrix sequels, eh? Little surprises like that make my morning. :D

Oh, and I see I've been popular in the 'favourite hero' category! I'm just a simple doctor, and don't really know martial arts. ;) Still, doh jeh sai!

[Morpheus2000]

Interesting that nobody has put down Bruce Lee as their favourite Martial Artist!?!

[wong fei hong]

Yes, it is... but thinking about it, my respect for Bruce's accomplishments far outweighs my critical response to his average-to-okay films. He had massive charisma, sure, and as a real fighter was (probably) unbelievable... but his films just weren't that great.

I love Enter the Dragon mainly because of the atmosphere in it, as it about a tournament which involves honour and betrayal.
