YesAsia Editorial Description
Actor Simon Lui's directorial debut Escape from Hong Kong Island, taking on a task most Hong Kong residents complete everyday but turning it into a hilarious adventure!
With a simple premise...just how difficult can it get to leave Hong Kong Island to get to Kowloon? It's not far apart, and there are many routes one can take to get across the Harbor, but how can you do it if you have no money on you at all?
With Simon Lui behind the camera, many of his good friends come on board to give a lending hand. Members of legendary local rock band Beyond: Ste Wong, Paul Wong and Wing Yip, as well as Jordan Chan, Chapman To, as well as funnyman David Ip all join in this comedy of errors. Directors Wong Chun Chun and Vincent Kok even leave their hiding place and emerge in front of the camera, playing Joran Chan's sister and Vincent as a ruthless video rental shop owner. Be surprised by the acting of these directors as well as the hilarious cast!

Originality Counts
| I thought the movie was quite original. The movie is about an average guy who happens to be very successful and cocky, something I can actually relate to. Too often, I can't relate to the characters in the movies because they're either too damn smart (e.g. A Beautiful Mind) or too perfect as a person (e.g. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon). Good thing there's finally a movie about "common" people. |

Hilarious
| I thought this was a hilarious film. Great acting, great plot and just plain silly but with a good moral to the story. Jordan Chan was great and the whole cast had wonderful chemistry together. Jordan Chan & Chapman To are definitely a great team to put together. |

interesting movie
| this is quite an interesting movie. there are LOTS of actors in the movie but i think of them more as cameos, which is the best part of any movie (atleast in my perspective)i wouldn't say it's VERY funny but there is a moral in the story so i think it is good to watch. Chapman is suppose to be one of the leading roles besides Jordan..but i don't think he is...maybe a supporting actor? not sure...watch it and see if you think he is one of the leading roles or not. But he does appear every so often...hehe. |

The movie itself is nothing fancy. No big movie stars, no fancy cars, no Italy, no red wines... It is just a simple story about a mean guy having a very bad day. At the end of the day, he learned a valuable lesson and changed his attitude. Unfortunately, the movie is so real. Perhaps, you might have a friend like that. The movie is very funny but also educational. I strongly recommend this movie. The only bad thing about this DVD is the quality of the video. It's more like a VCD than DVD. |
