As Tears Go By

First film directed by Kar-Wai Wong.

Wah's facial bruises shift tremendously near the final scene from the time he got on the bus to the time he met Fly.

When released in the UK, this title was cut by 17 seconds. According to the BBFC: Two cuts were made to reduce the level of extreme violence in the video One of the cuts seems to be in the scene where Jacky Cheung is attacked by some men. One of them grabs a small metal gas bottle and throws it at Cheung's chest. You see a shot of the guy throwing it, but then you only see the bottle already by the side of Cheung's body, who's screaming in pain, after the impact. The other cut was to shots of Wah being beaten with a baseball bat. The cuts were waived for the 2005 Tartan DVD.
