Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

This was G.E.M.'s feature film debut at age 18, two years before her breakthrough album '18...' launched her to Cantopop superstardom.

Cultural

The six-director anthology format was popular in 2000s Hong Kong cinema as a way to minimize risk on youth-targeted comedies — think of it as filmmaking by committee, literally.
