Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Hong Kong cinema of the 1980s loved blending Cantonese opera tropes with modern absurdism—this film's body count comedy is peak 'mo lei tau' energy before the genre fully crystallized.
The film's Mandarin title literally translates to 'Widow's Fortune,' which is way more direct than the coy English title about her body count.
