ID Me and Cast Photo Adds: HOOKER'S WORLD (2002)

[Brian Thibodeau]

Probably the cleanest film about Hookers I've ever seen, but the DB entry is a bit thin, so here's some faces to fill it out, including some very recognizable ones to add to the cast list:

Simon Loui


Ken Wong


Grace Lam


Sophie Ngan


Ronnie Cheung


???? as Han, Ronnie's co-pimp


??? as Yan, Ronnie's hooker (and murder victim)


??? as another of Ronnie's hookers


??? as another of Ronnie's hookers


??? as another of Ronnie's hookers


??? as Ronnie's mom, a lovable ex-hooker (i KNOW I should know this actress)


??? as Ronnie's loanshark


James Ha as Ronnie's boss


??? as James Ha's evil rival


??? as a detective:


??? as the hotel manager


If someone could add these photos to the DB entry that would be cool, as I don't have priveleges to do it myself.

I'll leave the task of adding to someone else, I need some sleep.

I had this one lined up to go through and get images from, seems you beat me to it

Oh, well, I got more to go through

And these ones should probably go to the Cat.3 forum, I need the company

[Brian Thibodeau]

Actually, this one can stay here as it's only rated IIB. No nudity, and all the sex is implied rather than shown. As I mention, it's probably the most sanitized HK movie ever made about hookers. It makes it seem like a profession full of people with hearts of gold!! Oh, to be a well-liked pimp...

Added portraits and two cast members with role names, though I'm not sure if "Ronnie" is the name of one of the characters or a reference to Ronnie Cheung (in which case the role names I used are probably inappropriate).

[MrBooth]

oh, btw, the rating for the film is listed as III in the db... can we definitely change it to IIb? I'd guess the dvd cover is probably the sauciest thing in it? :-p

[Brian Thibodeau]

As you wish. Here's the back cover, with the IIB rating present. It's definitely safe to say the front cover is the naughtiest part of the entire film. For what it is, it's not a bad example of low-budget filmmaking, very professionally done, but if it HAD have been Category III, I would've watched it ages ago!



Also, James Ha's picture can safely be identified, linked, etc...

As for all my mentions of "Ronnie" they were indeed in reference to the actor's REAL name. Sorry about that! His character is called Luke in the English subtitles, while everyone on screen sounds like they're addressing him as "Luk" or "Ah Luk" so yeah, you'll need to reset those two roles names for James Ha and Theresa Ha.

Simon Loui's character name is KO KWAN

Grace Lam is named JOEY (in the subs). Other characters call her Cho-yi.

Didn't pay much attention to other character names, but if I think of them, I'll mention them here.

My Cat'3 movie is not a Cat.3 movie

Oh well, better go through some of the others then

[Brian Thibodeau]

Fear not, I'll be rejoining you in the Category III forum soon enough, I suspect. Somebody's gotta watch these titles!

Of course, I do it entirely for the sake of making the HKMDB the best resource available.
