Summary: One of the Best HK movies!!
Review: Not only did it swip away the Best Actor, Director award, this movie also opened the door to Faye Wong... the "DIVA" of HK.(she also won the Best actress)
The first story is complicating and somewhat mysterious, but the second story with Tony and Faye was great!
You'll be in love with not only the two actors, but the song "California Dreamin'" by Mamas and Papas as well as HK!!!

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: A true and honest HONG KONG movie
Review: I am coming from Hong Kong. To the people outside Asia, the types of Hong Kong movies you may only know are Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Tsui Hark (maybe). Wong Kar Wai is a director who can truly give a real Hong Kong to the outsiders.

How does Hong Kong look like? The marine club as in 007 Die Another Day? As in Lara Craft? NO NO NO!!! The real Hong Kong is in Wong Kar Wai's movie.

Chung King mansion is a very special place, situated in the centre of the famous and glamorous shopping and commercial site Tsim Sha Tsui, is an old building full of mysterious people (mostly Pakistan)and events upspoken of. The outdoor escalator in the second story is in Sheung Wan. This is a monumental icon in HK, since the commercial sites are near the coast at the north side of Hong Kong Island, where the old and residential buildings are near south towards the hill. The escalator is for joining both areas for people. Wong Kar Wai is the only director who can bring these representable sites for foreigners. I highly recommend his movies to those who like to try a real taste of Hong Kong.

Finally, among all the Wong's movie, it is claimed that Chungking express is the easiest to understand. So give this a try, esp. if you have not watched any of Wong's movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Watch the 2nd part! You'll fall in Love with Tony and Faye!
Review: The best Hong Kong movie to start with! You will love the Director Wang and the two actors: Tony Leung and Faye Wang.
I personally did not like the first episode, but the second episode compensated it more than 100 times!!! One of my favorite movies!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of my favorite movies
Review: Beautiful movie. You might as well buy this one because you'll just have to rent it again and again if you don't. I fell in love with it the first time I watched it. This one's a gem. Good choice Quentin!!!

Summary: A Chinese comedy
Review: I purchased this movie only because I thought the guy from the movie, "The Lover" (Tony Leung) was going to be in it. But this (Tony Leung)doesn't look like him. Anyway, I thought this movie was kinda comical. It was pure Chinese dialog, with English words popping up each time the actors talked. This movie was fast pace, and a bit exciting. It was also romantic. Both stories were good, but I especially liked the first one. The guy was kinda handsome, and witty. He was a cop, but it seems as though he couldn't catch a crook; nor get a date. This made the film comical. The fact that he had an obsession with expired cans of pineapples was silly, but hilarious. The second story was weird, but also hilarious. All stories were romantic in a comical and weird way. At any rate, this was a pretty good movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: wunderful movie
