The Wrong Couples (VCD) (Hong Kong Version)

YesAsia Editorial Description

In between the acting and fighting, Shaw Brothers superstar David Chiang also found time to dabble in directing during the 1970s and 80s. His works covered a surprising range including gangster drama Silent Love, supernatural comedy Double Fattiness, action classic The One Armed Swordsmen, and the 1987 romantic comedy The Wrong Couples. John Sham served as producer for the film, while his mustachioed Pom Pom co-star, Richard Ng, took the leading role again, having previously starred in Chiang's Heaven Can Wait. Chiang's older brother Paul Chun and wife Lee Lam Lam both appear in the film. Shining the brightest though is iconic actress Josephine Siao, who won the Best Actress trophy at the 1988 Hong Kong Film Awards for her charming performance in The Wrong Couples.

Finally returning home after a long time at sea, Yu (Richard Ng) is greeted with a rather unpleasant surprise. His wife has left, and his apartment has a new tenant, May Wong (Josephine Siu). Forced to live together, May and Yu, both of whom have rather strange habits, bicker day in and day out over every little thing, but slowly come to understand each other. In order to get his daughter's custody rights, Yu decides to give up sailing and become a full-time inventor. May tries to help out, but her unscrupulous friend (Paul Chun) steals the invention. With his plans ruined, Yu must face the prospect of losing both his daughter and May.
