...income. Meanwhile, Wong has cut costs by reducing staff to levels not seen since the early 1990s and by slashing senior managers' pay, including his own, by 10%. Money is being invested in upgraded facilities, such as the construction of a $51 million parade ring with a retractable roof, which opened in November, and a giant outdoor TV screen at the Sha Tin track. And the racing has never been better. In the mid-1990s, Hong Kong-trained horses were barely recognized in international competitions; last season, Hong Kong's own Silent Witness was the world's top-rated sprinter...

The fight lasted nearly two hours. The young grunts defended themselves with all manner of fire, including AT4 antitank...
...cameo as the jealous opera diva Carlotta. Although Phantom has kept salaries low by casting virtual unknowns, its $80 million budget puts it between Alien vs. Predator and The Incredibles. An ensemble of 100-plus sings and dances through Schumacher's enormous, immaculately designed soundstages. In addition to the roof set, where stone gargoyles gaze down malevolently, there's the Phantom's Lair - a dark catacomb where the deformed genius composes on his grand piano to the steady accompaniment of water dripping into a stagnant, green pond.
