Movies by Chao Li Chi
The Big Brawl
A young Asian American martial artist is forced to participate in a brutal formal street-fight competition.
Meditation on Violence
Chao-Li Chi shadow boxes indoors and practices with a sword outdoors. Theoretically, the film describes in a single continuous movement three degrees of traditional Chinese boxing, Wu-tang, Shao-lin, and Shao-lin with a sword. A long sequence of the ballet-like, sinuous Wu-tang becomes the more erratic Shao-lin; in the middle, there is an abrupt change to leaping sword movements, in the center of which, at the apogee of the leap, there is a long held freeze-frame.
The Nightingale
A kitchen maid and a nightingale help save an emperor with the power of song and friendship.
Jay Leno's Family Comedy Hour
Jay Leno hosts "Jay Leno's Family Comedy Hour," a one hour special featuring a humorous look at the American family.
Inspector Perez
Failed crime TV pilot starring Anne Bloom.
