Manfred Wong Man-Chun is a multi-talented man - he's a writer, radio programmer compère, an actor at times, producer, scriptwriter and director, all in one. Born in 1957 in Hong Kong, he had studied at St. Paul's Convent School. Thereafter, he majored in Communications at Baptist College, but dropped out before completion and took up the post as a TV copywriter. In 1972, he worked as a writer for magazines and newspaper. In 1977, he became a scriptwriter at RTV and was involved in drama series such as "Reincarnated" and "Dragon Strike." He entered the film industry in 1979, working in the creative side of production. In 1995 he formed a partnership with director-cinematographer Wai Keung Lau and writer-producer-director Jing Wong to establish B.O.B. & Partners Co. Ltd., the creative team most noted for its creation of the very successful Young and Dangerous series, the first of which established box-office breaking success. The success of the Young and Dangerous series is due to Manfred's keen observation of the pop culture. Mixing comic story and the pop culture of youth with the triad genre, he connected movies with generational appeal, and Manfred has made it again with "The Storm Riders."

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
