These references arise because in the Orient, Chinese ladies are referred to as beautiful if they looked like Brigitte Lin.

1. In "My Lucky Stars", the prisoners fight over a photograph of Lin Ching Hsia (right) and Samo's solution is that the prisoners should take turns on alternate weeks for the photograph.

2. In "The Golden Girls" , Jordan Chan's character boasted of having a girlfriend, half of whose face looked like Sharon Stone's and the other half of which looked like Lin Ching-Hsia's.

3. From page 56 of the "Asian Cult Cinema" book, it is mentioned that in "Diary of a Serial Rapist", the guilty man, while being interrogated, "calmly insists that "Pretty girls deserve to be raped."  To which the detective replies, "If that's true, Cherie Chung and Lin Ching Hsia must be very busy."...".

 
4. In "It's a Wonderful Life", Leslie Cheung's character, in the middle of being flirted with by Teresa Mo's character, asks her what/who she thinks she'll look like when she grows old(er).  She smiles and says, "Lam Ching Ha" (Cantonese name for Brigitte Lin).  He laughs and counter-suggests that she'll end up looking like a plum instead!

 
5. In "The Truth About Jane and Sam", a young reporter watches ChungKing Express and the scenes of Brigitte having a drink and fanning herself in front of a refrigerator are shown.

6. In "Mary from Beijing" (a 1992 film directed and written by Sylvia Chang; starring Gong Li and Kenny Bee), there's a scene in which the character played by Kenny Bee meets up in a lift again with someone with whom he had done so a few scenes earlier.  The other guy says something to the effect that he wished that Kenny Bee's character could be Cherie Chung (I got the sense that he meant that he would love to see to keep on seeing a pretty woman the way he kept on bumping into Kenny Bee).  Kenny Bee's character responds by saying that he wishes the other guy was Lam Ching Ha!  An interesting addendum:  When the subtitles said Cherie Chung (actually mispelling her first name as Cherry), there was a bracketed explanation that she was a Hong Kong actress.  But when it came to Brigitte's name (which was spelled something like Lin Quig Xia), there seemed to be no need for any explanation as to who she was!

7. In the introduction of Legend of Zu, Cecilia Cheung plays the role of Countess which was Brigitte's role in Zu : Warriors from the Magic Mountain and her dress and posture was very much like that of Brigitte's role.  Its a strong and uncanny reference to Brigitte's role in the prequel.

 
8. In "Return to a Better Tomorrow", a lawyer taunts some thugs who want to beat him up by saying (in the subtitles) : "I think it would be easier for you to court Lin Ching Hsia or Maggie Cheung".  Contributed by Bill.

8. I guess they couldn't find a better picture for a old black and white movie called "Dream of the Red Chamber" so they had to put in a picture from a colour film that Brigitte starred in also titled "Dream of the Red Chamber".

9. Chungking Express inspired a music video by Texas.  It appeared on Texas : Greatest Hits. The song is  Halo

10. In the "Wedding Days", Jordan Chan plays a photographer who talks about a that Jordan Chan talks about his girlfriend's face being half like Brigitte's and

half like Sharon.
