1. Leslie Cheung
2. Tony Leung Chiu-wai
3. Tony Leung Ka-fai
4. Daniel Wu
5. Chow Yun-fat
6. Lui Kei
7. Nicholas Tse
8. Patrick Tse

13. Daniel Chan
14. Ekin Cheng
15. Andy Lau
16. Leon Lai
17. Louis Koo
18. Bruce Lee
19. Donnie Yen

My take: Aaron Kwok should have taken the #1 spot. Period. Nick Tse is too low on the list. He should have been pushed further to the top as well. Didn’t know how foine Ekin Cheng was/is until I posted/saw these pics of the actor a while back.

We finally have a first look at Wilson Yip’s much-anticipated martial arts biopic Ip Man II, starring Donnie Yen & Sammo Hung. Movie summary below.
