Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and the second smallest planet in the Solar System, after Mercury. Named after the Roman god of war, it is often referred to as the "Red Planet" because the iron oxide prevalent on its surface gives it a reddish appearance. Mars is a terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere, having surface features reminiscent both of the impact craters of the Moon and the valleys, deserts, and polar ice caps of Earth.
The rotational period and seasonal cycles of Mars are likewise similar to those of Earth, as is the tilt that produces the seasons. Mars is the site of Olympus Mons, the largest volcano and second-highest known mountain in the Solar System, and of Valles Marineris, one of the largest canyons in the Solar System. The smooth Borealis basin in the northern hemisphere covers 40% of the planet and may be a giant impact feature. Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos, which are small and irregularly shaped. These may be captured asteroids, similar to 5261 Eureka, a Mars trojan.
Lambic is a type of beer traditionally brewed in the Pajottenland region of Belgium (southwest of Brussels) and in Brussels itself at the Cantillon Brewery and museum. Lambic is now mainly consumed after refermentation, resulting in derived beers such as Gueuze or Kriek lambic.
Unlike conventional beers, which are fermented by carefully cultivated strains of brewer's yeasts, lambic is produced by spontaneous fermentation: it is exposed to the wild yeasts and bacteria that are said to be native to the Zenne valley, in which Brussels lies. It is this unusual process which gives the beer its distinctive flavour: dry, vinous, and cidery, usually with a sour aftertaste.
Lambic beer is widely consumed in Brussels and environs, and frequently featured as an ingredient in Belgian cuisine.
The name "lambic" entered English via French, but comes from the Dutch language. Lambic is probably derived from the name "Lembeek", referring to the municipality of Lembeek near Halle, close to Brussels.
Mars (Chinese: 火星), born Cheung Wing Fat (蔣榮發) is a Hong Kong actor, action director, stuntman and martial artist. He is one of Jackie Chan's best friends.
Cheung Wing Fat was born in Hong Kong in 1954. He got the nickname "Weird Fire Star" after being involved in a car accident leaving him with two scars on his head. While working as a stuntman on a film in Thailand he got promoted to a supporting actor and needed a stage name. He picked "Mars" based on his nickname. He became a student of Madame Fan Fok Wah (粉菊花, aka Fen Juhua) in The Spring and Autumn Drama School. Every day, he practiced from 5am to 9pm.
Mars started acting in 1966 at the age of 12. He started out as an extra and later in supporting roles. Lackey and the Lady Tiger (1980) is only the film in which he played the leading role.
In 1971, Mars got his nickname "Mars" from a stunt co-ordinator who suggested it to him since his nickname on stage was Martian Monster, and he ended up with the name Mars after filming The Rescue.

Plot: DRAGON'S REALM " The search for the forgotten art" At the height of the fifth realm war the old serpent, the dark dragon, prince of the air, lost his power to the One, but the dragon retained the minds of earth's inhabitants. By trapping their minds in captive philosophies he corrupted man's freedom of thought that conceives a race of people who forgot their unequivocal power against the dragon's realm. The One emphatic mastery over the dragon is known as the forgotten art, the Word of truth which was sent to men. It was inscribed in the heart of men by the One from the beginning. In the One was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. The remnant order of knightfighters scribes in scrolled this truth and hid the original scroll, but distributed copies throughout the world. They alone kept the legend of the scroll's doctrine alive, though its true potential now lies dormant. Two millennium's later. The dragon's sinister agents, rulers, authorities and powers of this dark world and his unseen dark forces managed to distort, twist or destroy all of the ancient scrolls except for the One's ancient scroll. Knowledge of its hidden place was lost. During a stealth battle the loyal knightfighters spies managed to ascend an agent to a Daimyo position within the unseen dragon's earthly kingdom as well as find the secret location of the last ancient scroll thought to be destroyed sometime ago.
