...Mood for Love) as the good cop and longtime dreamboat Andy Lau as the mobster's mole - became its own cottage industry. It spawned a sequel (IA II), a prequel (IA III) and, in glorious Hong Kong fashion, at least two ripoffs (the burlesque Love Is a Many Stupid Thing and a femme version, Infernal Mission). Nominated for 16 HK Film Awards, IA won seven: for picture, director, script, lead actor (Leung), supporting actor (Anthony Wong as Leung's police boss), cinematography and editing...

Dressed in black, holding a cigar and a glass of scotch, flashing a wicked smile that makes him look like Gary Busey's smarter brother, White is the bad boy of Blue Collar TV. In this short (41 min.) set, he makes the usual public issues of private parts, honeymoon tiffs and a persistent fan who cornered White and wouldn't shut up ("He raped my ear"). The material is just O.K., but the salesmanship is expert. He's a natural-born charmer with just...
