An early movie of Stephen Chow never failed to make me laugh. I was quite impress of this movie as it has been on the top 16 of the most earning movie in 1990 at Hong Kong. Stephen Chow + Sandra Ng = Great film :)

Though on the romance part is not that strong and there was comedy sense inside, but you can feel the hongkies love at that period of time. It was kinda real and the sacrifice for the love one are really really sweet :)
