Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

1980s Hong Kong cinema was obsessed with Western genre mashups, often throwing noir, sci-fi and comedy into a blender with zero explanation.

Trivia

Director Alex Cheung was better known for gritty crime dramas like 'Cops and Robbers' — this tonal whiplash was his chaotic comedy detour.
