Trivia

The on-screen ending credits are listed in Chinese and in French. In French, two of the schoolboys are La Souris, which translates to English as Mouse, and La Teigne, which refers to moths or fungal infection but in reference to a child is an idiomatic expression for Pest. The English subtitles show "Mouse" in place of "La Souris" and "Louse" in place of "La Teigne".

User Reviews
