Viewing Notes

Interesting experiment putting two of HK’s most attractive movie stars in fat suits for most of the movie. Sammi Cheng and Andy Lau are one of my favorite onscreen couples so this is quite something to see. Also kinda wild that Johnnie To and Wai Ka-Fai filmed this in Japan and had them speak Japanese half the time. Probably my favorite aspect of this movie. Overall this is not as good as Needing You or Yesterday Once More but still fun to see these actors work.
