  BBC NEWS | Asia-Pacific | Naked actress photo sparks hunt
Hong Kong police are investigating the abduction of an actress 12 years ago after a magazine published a naked photograph of her taken during the kidnapping.
Carina Lau, who shot to fame in Asia for her girl-next-door roles in films during the 1980s, did not report the abduction at the time.
Lau talked about the kidnapping for the first time on Sunday during a protest organised by the film industry to denounce East Week's publication of the picture.

 La Brassiere
Backed by popular idols Louis Koo and Gigi Leung with the constantly watchable Carina Lau offering Lau a more than able lead foil, all the elements were put in place for a return to form for one of the most popular local stars of recent years.
Only after the company's head, Samantha (Carina Lau), has pointed words with her colleague do things improve, but Lena is keen to test the mettle of the new employees.
Lau Ching Wan is superb in one of his rare comic roles, relishing every opportunity to enjoy a far more light-hearted role than he is used to.

In 1983, at the age of 18, Carina joined TVB and began a television career.
Carina still acts today and despite some recent rumors and a major scandal, she proves she is a strong woman and with the support of not only her boyfriend, but the fans as well.

 I Am Sorry - DVD Review
Carole (Carina Lau) along with her girlfriends, the Gang Of Four, is on the surface content with having an affair with a married man (Kenneth Tsang) but only drawback is that he's not going all the way to showcase her for the public.
The one she meets that stirs up a whirlwind of questions and decisions about the men in her life is the timid Edgar (Lawrence Ng) but he himself knows not if he wants to pursue Carole or be devoted to Alice (Rosamund Kwan) who deceives him more than just often...
Carina Lau's character Carole is one that needs to find a footing in her life and love life, which is a problem the film faces as well and you would hope that they would find that solution together but oddly enough, it never happens.

So directors Andrew Lau and Alan Mak decided to go the prequel route for Infernal Affairs 2, exploring the events and relationships that led to the tense cat-and-mouse games of the first film.
Lau and Mak’s biggest influence is clearly the Godfather films.
The murders of the mob boss’s partners are juxtaposed in exactly the same way they were at the end of Coppola’s first Mafia epic, there’s a family get-together akin to the Corleone wedding ceremony; even the music has a weird Italian/Chinese feel to it.

Lau had won best actress at the Nantes International fim festival, and it was trully disappointing to see her failed to win at the HK and Taiwan film award, because she totally conqured the role of a passionate and volatile exotic dancer in this film.
Carina Lau went to the Phillipines to find Yuddy, and she checked into the same hotel, but Yuddy had already "left".

In 1991, Mary (Carina Lau), wife of Sam (Eric Tsang) sets in motion a series of events by ordering Lau King Ming (Edison Chen) to murder Kwun, the most powerful crime boss in Hong Kong.
There are examples of movies growing on you on subsequent viewings and I have a gut feeling this will do but for the sake of judging the film on its first viewing, parts of the scripts comes off as slightly muddled.

 Lady Super Cop
In retrospect, it was probably not fair to have the high expectations I had of this 1993 “Girls with Guns” movie.
With regards to others of LADY SUPER COP’s cast who are not unrespectable in terms of their reputation and work in other films: Waise Lee is majorly underused as Carina Lau’s character’s old flame and fellow police officer; and Eric Tsang only appears midway through this production and is soon disposed off.
Neither did an early sequence in which we see Lau slowly buttoning up her blouse and putting on the rest of her uniform before rushing to the parade ground to take part in a ceremony where we see her getting officer’s pips.

Sent to work together with head of design Lena (Gigi Leung) in an all-female office, these two chauvinistic, egotistical men think they are in heaven as they turn up for work and find women falling at their feet and beautiful models waiting for their instructions.
Carina suited her high-powered straight-talking office lady image to a tee and Gigi worked well as an arrogant beauty yearning for innocent love.

Lau Ching-Wan, who is best known for his action roles, did a wonderful job as the lead.

In the process of making the perfect bra, the two men came to terms with issues of chauvinism and superficiality, as they find that looks are not all that matters when it comes to design.

 Amazon.co.uk: Days Of Being Wild [1990]: DVD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Leslie Cheung stars as Yuddy, a vain, sexually predatory orphan whose mother abandoned him with her prostitute sister when he was very young; today, he lackadaisically searches for his birth mother while living his layabout lifestyle funded by his put-upon aunt.
Yuddy moves on to Mimi (Carina Lau), a beautiful cabaret dancer who is ultimately unable to maintain her tough facade when she falls for Yuddy; her vulnerability draws in Yuddy's best friend (Jackie Cheung), who idolizes him and is rejected by Mimi.
Apart from the talented and (then) young cast, what really appeals to me is Christopher Doyle's astonishing cinematography to help capture the whole summer-vibe of 1960's Hong Kong, and the use of largely noticeable clocks in the background was to later inspire his successful romance 'In the Mood for Love'.

Chow encounters both people from both his past and other Kar-Wai films — Carina Lau reprises her role from Days of Being Wild, now working as a hostess in a bar, and Ping Lam Siu once again plays Chow’s editor.
And even though Leung’s In the Mood for Love co-star Maggie Cheung appears for only seconds, the presence of Su Li Zhen hangs over the whole film, colouring Chow’s relationships with other women.
Born in Shanghai, Kar Wai began work as a scriptwriter on Hong Kong films like Flaming Brothers and Saviour of the Soul before directing As Tears Go By in 1988, a Mean Streets-esque tale starring Andy Lau and Maggie Cheung.
