Teddy
Yu (Anthony Wong) is a kindly chiropractor, widowed and the father of
two (Gillian and Stephen). He also has a big secret. Teddy has been leading
a double life as a bodyguard for secret agents. But now the gig is up...
some very nasty villains, hell-bent on retrieving top secret information,
are threatening him and his kids if Teddy doesn't cooperate. The result
is absolute martial arts mayhem (instantly reminiscent of Gillian-n-Charlene's
kick-ass performances in their previous TWINS
EFFECT).
Most
every cult movie fan knows Anthony Wong. He is arguably the most intense
actor in Chinese Cinema,
starring in over 200 films since 1985. He has won two Golden Horse Awards
for Acting (equivalent to America's Oscar). The first was for his psychotic
performance in UNTOLD
STORY and the second was for BEAST
COPS. He is acting today, mostly in Hong Kong, where he still
protests the strict Chinese take-over. Mr Wong's most recent film is the
disturbing Herman Yau masterpiece SLEEP
CURSE.
But not
as many people know Josie Ho. She was born in December 1974 as Josephine
Ho, the daughter of Macau casino tycoon Stanley Ho. To date, she has appeared
in 60+ films including numerous cult favorites: the CAT III horror film
DREAM
HOME, Johnnie To's EXILED,
plus Takeshi Miike's DEAD
OR ALIVE: THE FINALE and the lesbian melodrama BUTTERFLY.
