    Product Description

    A fatal car crash has forever separated an engaged young Japanese couple. Hitomi Takako Tokiwa mourns deeply day and night for the death of her fiance Tatsuya (Leslie Cheung). Their dream of moving to Hong Kong after their marriage and residing at the Peak to overlook the spectacular night scenery of the harbor is all shattered now. Right after Tatsuya's funeral, Hitomi travels to Hong Kong broken-heartedly with a wish to fulfill a dream that should have been shared with her love. What a surprise in her visit to Hong Kong that she bumps into Shek Ka Po (Leslie Cheung), a local undercover cop. Hitomi is confused by the strong resemblance between Bo and her late fiance and follows him. When Bo learns the whole tragedy by this Japanese girl, he takes her to the Peak yet both are disappointed by the bad fogs cast over the "Pearl of the Orient". Bo is put in danger when he is betrayed by a colleague on his team. He has no choice but to flee to China with Hitomi. The two fugitives fall for each other in this life-and-death journey. They manage to sneak back to Hong Kong because Bo is determined to find out who and why he has been framed...

    4 out of 5 stars A quite decent romantic movie.......2001-05-26

    This movie is quite well-done considering its simple, formulaic story, about a Japanese young woman traveled to Hong Kong to live a honeymoon that she'd have had with her dead fiance. There she found a man who looked a lot like him. They slowly fell for each other while feeling the burden of their past. The movie-makers spice things up by adding a crime story. However, the compelling part of the movie is the supposedly banal love story. The photogenic actors fit their roles well, with Leslie Cheung doing his usual good work playing a brooding hero who falls helplessly in love with a beautiful woman, played by Takako Tokiwa. Tokiwa's only fault (if it's really a fault) is her being too cute, but the director and cinematographer are also to blame for giving lots of nice close-ups of her face. The bonus of the movie is a brief appearance of Michelle Khan in a role quite different than what American audience used to see her. Daniel Lee (the director) shows adeptness in showing the subtlety of feelings in just a few camera shots. The skyline of Hong Kong plays an important part in this movie as well. This is one of the most Hollywood'ized movies from Hong Kong that I have seen in years. They even use some nice American music tracks (even though the repetitions got a bit annoying near the end.) The DVD contains subtitles in several languages, a short promotional piece, and a music video. A good movie with a date (don't bring a date who overanalyzes movies!)

    5 out of 5 stars Pure Chinese Essence.......2001-04-06

    Many people discovered Leslie Cheung through the Chinese ghost story films and I thought he was fantastic, this being a recent film captures him and the supporting actors in their full glory, the dialect is superb and the action is fantastic.

    A tremendous fim ideal for fans and new commers alike, well worth the money especially for the quality of the video and audio on DVD
