Biography
Depuis son premier scénario pour The Big Heat (1998, inédit), et surtout depuis qu'il a dirigé Fist of Legend (1994) avec Jet Li, Gordon Chan est l'une des figures du cinéma hong-kongais les plus prolifiques et éclectiques des 10 dernières années. Bien qu'il aborde différents genres, il est avant tout connu pour ses films d'action. En dirigeant Le Médaillon, Gordon Chan donne aux films d'action hong-kongais une nouvelle dimension, comme l'avait fait précédemment Tigre et Dragon de Ang Lee. "Tigre et Dragon est un très bon exemple du mélange des effets spéciaux et des combats réels, explique Gordon Chan, nous voulions arriver au même degré d'action dans un environnement contemporain, et que ce soit une comédie. Avec Jackie Chan nous étions sûrs que le film serait encore plus divertissant".
