2006: New Year, new challenge

After the super awesomeness of 2005's 200 film challenge it was felt that a new challenge for 2006 was required, and who better to help with the challenge setting than Neil "Challenge Master" McPhillips.

After a lot of brainstorming, we decided to combine our favourite things ever. Starting with films we narrowed it down to shoddy Hong-Kong action/comedy films in particular and to get the numbers down to something possible decided upon the "Super Andy Challenge", 1 year, 1 actor, 100 films. The aim: to see 100 of Andy Lau's finest works in the next year. With over 125 Andy Action Epic's to choose from (minus the 6 I've seen) there's a lot of scope for silly Hong-Kong madness.

I have to say that so far I'm doing quite well, requiring to see just under 2 Andys a week I've managed to clock up 4 so far this year plus another 2 non-Andy related movies, making it the most prolific first week for movie watching since records began.

Here's to another year of movie mayhem!
