Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Edmond Pang shot this in 12 days on a shoestring budget, essentially making a movie about making a movie the same chaotic way.
The 'remake' premise satirizes real Hong Kong producers who pivoted to cheap Category III films after the industry's 1990s collapse.
