Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Jam Hsiao was primarily known as a Mandopop singer; this was one of his early acting roles where his deadpan delivery became unexpectedly perfect for absurdist comedy.
The film plays with wuxia assassin tropes but relocates them to mundane urban Taiwan, reflecting 2010s indie cinema's fascination with genre deconstruction.
