UPDATED (Somewhat) April 11, 2002 - it's been well over a year since this section was initially put up, so a small update was in order. Didn't change much, just changed some sentences to past tense and corrected a few facts. Jen is planning a proper update, with extended Nic Tse and Stephen Fung sections. Especially since the release of the two awesome Nic Tse/Stephen Fung movies at the end of 2001 last year - "My Schoolmate, the Barbarian," and the even bigger blockbuster hit "2002," which came out in Hong Kong theatres a few months ago, and just came out on DVD about a month ago.

Nic Tse played Jack, the too-cool-for-a-cool-name leader of Gen-X Cops. He was so fine in this movie. Ahh, must have been the hair.

Nic Tse, along with the other two main guys (Match and Alien) in the movie, sang the addictive theme song of Gen-X Cops "You Can't Stop Me." At least 3 of the main cast are pop singers in Hong Kong. Unfortunately, Nic Tse did not repise his role for Gen-Y for scheduling reasons. He was busy with his singing career at the time, and also probably because of the film "Time and Tide."

ANYWAY, Nic Tse speaks fluent English. Nic Tse (Jack), Stephen Fung (Match), Daniel Wu (Daniel/Kit), and Terence Yin (Tooth) actually dubbed their own voices for the English version! They speak so much English in the movie to begin with. Especially Daniel Wu. There was a comment even in one of the deleted scenes that said that Kit didn't even speak proper Cantonese (I guess in the times that he actually didn't speak English)!

Stephen Fung played the easy-going, playboy-ish Match, in Gen-X Cops. I was way too distracted by Nic Tse when I first watched the movie to really notice Stephen Fung. In fact, after the movie, I realized that I didn't even catch his character's name! So I simply referred to him as "the one with the dimples." Yup, I did notice that killer smile.

After about the 4th time I watched the movie (he he) I realized he was pretty cute. Very easy on the eyes, ne?

Stephen Fung was a pop singer also (in a very successful duet act, I heard), but has fairly recently put an end to his singing career as to concentrate more on acting. He does, however, have songwriting credits in some songs in Nic Tse's albums. The popular Gen-X theme song "You Can't Stop Me" was written, produced, and arranged by Stephen Fung.

And if you remember this bit from before the update: "Anyway, there are talks right now of a Tekken movie? Rumour has it that Stephen Fung will play that Hwoarang guy." That really shows how long ago this section was made. He ended up playing that role, but the name was changed to "Iron Surfer." Ah, this one's a long story. The movie went through five different titles. It was a mess for a while.

Jaymee Ong played Haze, the I'm-from-Canada-but-I-speak-with-an-Australian-accent-and-don't-speak-a-word-of-Cantonese Hong Kong beauty. J/K. Jaymee Ong is half Australian and grew-up there (so that explains it!). Also, it seems that she's the main reason why this movie was such a hit with the male audience.

Haze was Match's past love interest. She's not a cop - she just causes a lot of trouble for the Gen-X Cop-ers in the movie. Haze was going out with the lead bad guy Kit (played by Daniel Wu. Kit is also sometimes called Daniel in the movie, by the way.) when Match and the other Gen-Xers were undercover. Well, just watch the movie. And if you've seen the movie already, then, you know what happens.

Jaymee Ong use to keep her hair short and in some weird geometric shape, but now I believe she's grown her hair out long.

Grace Yip played the tough, computer genius, and billengual (hey, that Japanese-as-a-2nd-language thing came in handy, didn't it) Y2K. She didn't do much undercover work with the 3 guys, but she still got to fight a lot. Y2K was pretty cool, though. I still say she should have gotten together with one of the guys.

Grace Yip is a pop singer, too, and toured with Nic Tse for a while - during the filming for Gen-Y, so she didn't reprise her role for the sequel either.

She was also in the movie "A Man Called Hero" (a.k.a. "Stormriders 2") with Nic Tse. Nic Tse played Sword Hua, son of Hero Hua. Grace Yip played Shadow's daughter (though we think that she's really Sword's twin sister ^_^). I only have one picture of her. Sorry!
