get your stamps o'er here

from yesterday's cnn showbuzz news:

HONG KONG (AP) -- China has honored Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and Chow Yun-Fat in a commemorative stamp collection marking 100 years of Chinese film.

Among the other 128 honored stars were Andy Lau, Tony Leung, Maggie Cheung, Brigitte Lin, Cecilia Cheung, Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung.

The stamps bear production shots of the stars and come with brief biographies. The Chinese postal service launched the collection at a ceremony in Beijing Monday.

Chow said he was pleased by his selection. "It's been a long time since I had a Chinese-language movie shown in the mainland, but everyone still remembers me," the 50-year-old actor said.

His screen credits include "The Replacement Killers" and "Bulletproof Monk." He's slated to appear in Ann Hui's upcoming Chinese film "The Aunt's Postmodern Life."

The stamps also salute famous Chinese films including "Fists of Fury," "Hero," "Farewell My Concubine" and "Infernal Affairs."
