Quotes

[after Babe Fei gives Wah a condom]
Wah: You are in deep shit. My mom forces me to.
'Ice' Poa: You won't because you're a good man.
Wah: You're wrong. I'm the worst man on the planet. I mess around in Mongkok, I sell pirated VCDs, and I sell girls to prostitute houses.

User Reviews

A real charmer

This movie, that I caught only on an airplane and haven't seen elsewhere is a lovely little movie, of the old boy-meets-girl variety with plenty of Hong Kong action and some foul-mouthed humor thrown in. While that sounds strange, it makes for a fun movie - romantic enough for women and bitingly humorous enough for men, with all those wonderful chase scenes too.
