  • This documentary is worth of having a "where are they now" segment. Of course you see Anjali Rao on CNN and also comments here on some of those featured.

    The most interesting would be David Cockerton, the financial executive. He was 33 when he got interviewed. He must be in his mid to late 40s by now.

  • I was there a few weeks back. If there is something nice happening there, that would be infrastructure. The skyline got taller and more LED light effects in buildings. HKers are more investing in Mainland China. In fact alot of Mainlanders have moved in. I hear more Mandarin when I was there than Cantonese.

  • Since this documentary was done 12 years ago, its interesting to know where they are now (2010). I know Anjali Rao is still in HK and is news anchor for CNN and Melvis still hangout around Central. Where is Jackie now? How about Mr. Andrew Webb? Are they still in HK? Is Mr. Webb and his Chinese gf still together or have married? How about Mr. Arthur Hacker, the investment banker and Mr. Yin? Also the guy who runs Gaia and Ms. Kathlyn Wood? Hope someone can answer this.

  • @SBACRU

    Andrew works for BBC in London - married last year to a girl from China. Britt also lives in London working as a journalist. Arthur is recovering from a stroke in Discovery Bay. Bobsy is successful owner of Life Cafe in Soho. Chris from Sisters organises Underground HK music.

    Yo! I'm still in HK & rocking.... sooooo much has happened since 1998....& soooo much is happening....

    Bobsy

  • Anjali Rao is slimmer today compared when she did this video.

  • hahahaha anti foreigner feelings. You can keep making stupid assumptions about what the hell i'm talking about.

    love it? how about i hate it when people try to justify and deny what is offensive to other people including myself? I'm racist for trying to point out something that is racist? That's just dumb.

    I guess your mum wouldnt be a good example since you like the idea of humiliating her yourself anyway.

  • I hate racism, that's why i called it a racist video, idiot.

    Tongue in cheek? Racist bandwagon? Want it to be racist? Don't give me that bullshit to justify it. Wtf do you know about racism and racist images of asians?? Sense of humour? Let's see more videos making fun of your mum, see how much of a bloody sense of humour you have.

    Just because you experience it yourself doesn't meant it does not exist, you ignorant fuckwit.

  • edit: Just because you don't experience it yourself doesn't meant it does not exist, you ignorant fuckwit.

  • yeah and how did it show that? There was just all this bs about how the expat culture is cool, easy and fun. Yay colonialism! The rickshaw and cheongsam? The locals being shown as weirdos and suckups? That's racist, idiot.

    Yeah, those yellow monkeys couldn't possibly have done anything great without the help of the white masters. puke

    You want to call me naive...piss off, you obviously have other issues supporting this shit.

  • I am born in Hk with Chinese parents. I don't think the film maker is racist. Just telling the facts of life as it was in HK. And don't even think of calling me a "suck up" or "kiss ass" until you check my comments in "retreat1997" I am strongly against Brit Imperialist!

  • A video promoting a racist institution as a good thing, a condescending and mocking portrayal of the locals and local culture. I consider that racist.

    You must be rather ignorant.

  • what a racist video

  • Worth watching through to end; very well done. You say you made this in 1998. It would be great if you could go back now, ten years out, and see what's what now, from your persepctive.

  • Yes Andrew, very interesting. I wonder if that last guy - HK's answer to Oliver Reed - is still alive?

  • That old guy is Arthur Hacker - a very well respected artist & historian of HK - He has written many great books & invented the famous 'Lap Sap Chung' of HK. He likes going for a couple of snorts in his local & used to hang out in Wanchai in the 60's but is by no means an Oliver Reed pissface! He always sounds like that. He is alive & in good health still writing books.

  • Ah, I see. Didn't know the backstory & assumed he was an infamous local punter. More power to his elbow.

  • Where else beside Lan Kuai Fong one can find so many wasted "Guai Lo"? Lan Kuai Fong can be translated to "White Trash Square".
