YesAsia Editorial Description

Director Gordon Chan (Beast Cops) takes a scenic detour to sunny Okinawa for Okinawa Rendez-Vouz, a breezy romantic comedy featuring a killer cast! Leslie Cheung is Jimmy Wong, a famous thief who runs into mixed-up situations and possible romance while hanging out in Okinawa. Jimmy becomes the top target of Hong Kong cop Dat (Tony Leung Ka Fai), who's vacationing with his girlfriend (Gigi Lai) and her best pal (Stephanie Che). Dat sees the apprehension of Jimmy as his ticket out of the mailroom, but to actually take him down he'll have to first go through Jenny (Faye Wong), a former girlfriend of the local Yakuza leader. Jimmy and Dat both fall head over heels for Jenny at first sight, but she's a cool customer who's tough to pin down. Is she helping Jimmy or Dat? And who among her myriad choices in men does she really have eyes for? Agreeable romantic comedy and the gorgeous Okinawa location make Okinawa Rendez-Vouz a genuine summer delight that's as funny as it is charming. The sublime all-star cast doesn't hurt either!

영원한 연인 장국영과 오키나와 휴양지에서 만난다!
장국영 추모 1주기를 기리며 국내에서 DVD로 처음 선보이는 장국영의 로맨틱 코미디 영화! 영원한 연인 장국영과 '중경삼림'의 왕비, '연인'의 양가휘 등 세 명의 빅스타가 일본 오키나와 휴양지에서 펼쳐지는 따스하고 훈훈한 사랑 이야기! '메달리온'의 진가상 감독 연출 작품!

일본 범죄 조직의 보스, 사토의 정부인 제니(왕비 분)가 그의 돈 가방을 훔쳐 달아난다. 그 돈 가방은 사토 조직의 비밀이 적힌 일기장을 가지고 있는 지미에게 줄 돈이 들어 있는 중요한 돈이다. 사토를 만난 지미(장국영 분)는 그에게 5일 안에 돈을 가져오지 않으면, 장부 내용을 인터넷에 폭로하겠다고 협박한다. 돈을 기다리던 지미는 친구와 함께 오키나와의 휴양지에서 휴식시간을 보내다가 우연히 한 카페에서 제니를 만난다. 제니는 그곳에서 잠시 동안 일자리를 구하며 머물고 있던 중이다. 제니가 사토의 정부인 줄 모르는 지미는 매력적인 그녀에게 마음을 빼앗기기 시작한다. 이때, 자신이 은행강도 '소육'(양가휘 분)이라 부르는 사나이가 나타나 지미와 그 친구에게 함께 군수용품을 털자는 제안을 한다. 본명은 '닷'인 이 사나이의 정체는 경찰이며, 우연히 지미의 얼굴을 알아본 후, 그를 체포하여 크게 이름을 얻으려는 수작을 부리고 있는 중이다. 게다가 그 역시 제니에게 마음이 끌린 상태이다. 우연히 제니의 집이 은행 옆에 있다는 것을 알게 된 지미는 군수용품을 털기 전에 은행을 먼저 털 것을 제안하고, 친구와 함께 제니이 집에서 제니 몰래, 은행으로 통하는 구멍을 뚫기 시작한다. 닷은 제니에게 자신의 정체며, 현재 지미가 제니 집에서 은행털이를 준비하고 있다는 것이며, 자신이 은행을 터는 순간 잡을 거라는 등의 계획을 알려준다. 또한 지미가 전형적인 바람둥이이며, 겉과 속이 다른 이중적인 인물이라고 그를 험담한다. 그러나 그것은 그의 중대한 실수였으니..., 지미에게 호감을 느끼고 있던 제니는 지미에게 닷이 정체와 그의 음모를 알려줌으로써, 닷의 계획을 방해한다. 자신을 속였다는 것을 알게 된 지미는 닷을 죽이려 하고, 그 순간 제니가 나타나 그를 살려 줄 것을 부탁한다.

Professional Review of "Okinawa Rendez-Vous (Korean Version)"

February 8, 2006

This professional review refers to Okinawa Rendez-Vous (Remastered Version)

Let the cry go forth: Gordon Chan has finally made a fun movie! Gadget head, Gordon Chan, has channeled Wong Kar-wai's lazybones sensibility and brought forth a monster of summer laziness and ennui. A goony riverboat casino floating downstream on the buoyant backs of its actors, Okinawa Rendez-Vous is a pageant of Chinese superstars on holiday, but as Japanese as daikon.

The plot? A bunch of Hong Kongers descend on Okinawa for vacations, complications ensue, and they go home. Leslie Cheung plays Jimmy Tong, a criminal there to trade a stolen yakuza boss' journal for a plastic-wrapped cube of cash. The boss is Ken Sato, whose object of affection (Faye Wong) has absconded with said cube. Tony Leung Kar-fai plays the self-important HK Police filing clerk on vacation with his girlfriend (Gigi Lai) who gives Faye a lift to a new life.

This is Faye Wong's first film since Chungking Express and Gordon Chan is resolutely unable to pull a performance out of her, which doesn't matter since her mere presence lends the proceedings a certain classy giddiness. Leslie does his restrained thing, playing some brilliant scenes with partner Vincent Kok (who is showing up more and more in movies these days), but the standouts here are Tony Leung - who reminds us all of why he's actually a genius comedian - and Gigi Lai who gives the kind of performance that cameras live to capture.

There's not an ounce of seriousness here - even Leslie's lonely jewel thief is a satiric pose, a riff on Galouise puffing French romantics circa 1963. The only character whose emotions are heavier than feathers is lovelorn gangster, Sato, whose henchmen must bear the brunt of their lonely boss' romantic obsessions. An Okinawan Nashville these characters cross one another's paths, coming up with the most complicated reasons to talk to one another, pretending that they're working (solving crimes or committing them) when actually if they stalled their motor mouths for a minute they'd realize that all they want to do is fall in love a little.

Okinawa Rendez-Vous doesn't end so much as it peters out leaving the audience feeling like a resort town at the end of the season. One by one the stars flicker and fade away leaving Okinawa standing in there wake: empty, but all the brighter for their having been there.

This movie sux!! Customer Review Rated Bad 3 - 3 out of 10

I can't believe this movie has an overall rating of 41/2 stars!! I would have given it only 1 star if not for Leslie. A while back I wrote a review panning this movie. It never got posted. I think it was deliberate so as not to reduce the ratings. Altho I am a great Leslie fan, this movie totally sucks and I think Leslie knew it too. The 1 1/2 hrs felt like 3 hours; I would have stopped watching after half an hour and thrown the VCD away if not for Leslie. There is no plot and absolutely no chemistry between Leslie and button-nosed Faye Wong. I never liked Faye and after watching this movie, I know why. She tries to act so cool but ends up so stuck-up. I can't stand her uppity behaviour. I can't imagine any man falling for her in this movie; she's like a cold fish and she certainly isn't pretty enough for Leslie. She looked more like his elder sister. Don't waste your time and money to buy this. Don't say you haven't been warned.
