Film Workshop's Official Site - includes information in both Chinese and English on most of Tsui Hark's major films, some of Tsui's artwork, information on the latest films from Film Workshop, how to contact them, and more. It changes frequently, so bookmark it!
The John Woo and Tsui Hark Action Web - well-designed site, includes excellent poster gallery and some multimedia

The Official Time and Tide site - Small, but includes some worthwhile material
The Official Tri-Star site - Small, but with some good photos
The Leslie Cheung Internet Fan Club - An excellent site dedicated to the star of A Chinese Ghost Story, Tri-Star, and more. For a small membership fee (US$20, last time I checked), you can get access to even more Leslie Cheung material, including music videos, film clips and sound files.
The Official Jet Li Site - Appropriately enough, Jet Li's official site kicks some serious ass! Be forewarned - you'll need plug-ins to get the full impact, but this one's well worth it for any fan of Once Upon a Time in China, Swordsman II, or any of Jet's other films.
Brigitte Lin - a very good fan site, with filmography, photos galore and more.

Lisa Morton - E-mail the author of this site
Five Star Laser - They have it all: New and old DVD's, VCD's, soundtrack and Cantopop CD's, and more (they can even special order titles). Check out their web site for mail order, or, if you're in Southern California, stop by the store on Valley Blvd. in San Gabriel, and then enjoy any of the great restaurants in the area.
Poker Industries - Great mail order service, terrific selection (they also carry Korean and Japanese titles).
DVD Planet - An overall great selection of DVD's, with lower prices than almost anyone, and fast shipping.
HK Movie - Want a poster from Peking Opera Blues or a Time and Tide lobby set? This is the place! Great service, excellent selection (if they don't have it in stock, they can usually get it for you), and easy to deal with. If you're in Hong Kong, check out the store itself. They also carry DVD's and VCD's.
Twinkle - Another great movie memorabilia store in Hong Kong, with mail order service for gweilos.
Ebay - Although I don't recommend ebay for new films (which you can often get cheaper at one of the above sites!), it's worth cruising for the occasional old or obscure film or poster.
