Next with four awards wasthe nostalgic 1960s Echoes of the Rainbow. Its prizes included Best Screenplay and Best Actor Simon Yam. In February, it won the Crystal Bear for best film in the Generation Kplus category at the Berlin International Film Festival.
Director and martial arts choreographer Lau Kar-leung, (The 36th Chamber of Shaolin, Drunken Master II) was given a lifetime achievement award. Unfortunately due to his age, his speech was very slow and long. It would have been much longer had his wife not urged him to finish as he hit the five-minute mark. Generally, the ceremony as a whole was a long and drawn out affair.
