I was flipping channels and happened upon another classic HK 'Golden Age' picture that I hadn't seen before... I could tell right away that it was an early 90's Wong Jing film... Turns out it was 1993's 'Boys Are Easy' (追男仔)
But what I was amazed about was how many big names were in this:
Yes thats right, Bridgette Lin, Maggie Cheung, Chingmy Yau, Tony Leung Ka-Fei, Jacky Cheung and believe it or not, a very young Ekin Cheung (pre-Y&D hair) in what is probably his second or third movie..
Like most of these films, the plot is relatively cliched and ultimately not very memorable - a father pretends to have cancer to encourage his three daughters to get married, they find fake boyfriends who they ultimately end up falling for... (of course)
in this case (especially 15 years later), the entertaining part isn't the plot, but its seeing these big name actors (several of whom haven't done an HK movie in years) working together...
ps - in case you didn't know, Maggie Cheung was way HOT in 1993. :-P
