Time Travel

SECOND TIME AROUND-2002-A card dealer (Ekin Cheng from THE STORM RIDERS) from Hong Kong goes to Las Vegas to make a big score with money "borrowed" from his company. After his friend (Jonathan Ke Quan from THE GOONIES) is killed in a car crash screw up he somehow manages to travel backward in time (2 days) and tries to prevent the death. Cecila Cheung (WU YEN) plays the police detective who goes with him. It's enjoyable despite some lapses in plot. Cheng and Cheung were also in TOKYO RAIDERS and ZU WARRIORS. The director Jeffery Lau made THE EAGLE SHOOTING HEROES.

Wu-Yen

WU YEN-2001-Wacky but entertaining fantasy period piece. When Yinchun (Cecilia Cheung), a fairy enchantress who can change it’s sex at will is accidentally released from a trap he/she seduces the Emperor Qi (although the character is male he’s played by actress/pop star Anita Mui) even though he/she is in love with Wu Yen (Sammi Cheng) who is considered ugly because a red mark on her face. A lot of crazy things happen and the acting is great! It’s a little long I guess but still gender bendering fun! Unfortunately, the very popular Mui only made 4 more films. She died of cancer in 2003. Co-director Johnny To made THE HEROIC TRIO and it’s sequel THE EXECUTIONERS (both with Mui).
