Ally Wong did cinematography.

And yet another Grace Wong / Ally Wong film, Enjokosai Angel, which HKFA indicates did a theatrical on 4/17/2003. Press release seems to indicate no director, but the HKFA column indicates Kenneth Lau.

Earlier I mapped (possibly INCORRECTLY) HKFA's Football Gambling to "Story of Soccer Bet". It's definitely a different Chinese title, so if I'm wrong, you'll have to remove the Ally Wong reference, the alias and the theatrical date of 1/16/2003. Same script-writer though.

Unless I misread the Google translator, Football Gambling is an "alt" of the title.

Another Ally Wong if it's to be believed. Sexual Exchange, also 2003. As I look in the HKFA directorial colum, it was also directed by Kenneth Lau, director of Devil Killer and the mysterious Football Gambling mentioned above. Sexual Exchange did a theatrical on 5/1/2003.

I am sure this is a different 2003 film, also entitled "Sexual Exchange"

The Chinese title differs, the English is the same, but it came up when I was researching the Lau film. The second "Sexual Exchange" film features the same director and actors from "Miss You Much" (although they appare to be different flims).

The link you posted above actually redirects me to the post above (the same post, basically), so perhaps I'm a bit confused?

Great finds on all these titles, though! There's so much stuff from 1999-2003 that keeps popping up, and about the only places you can find any info on them anywhere on the web is buried deep in the bowels of some of the larger retailer sites. Some would argue, of course, that they deserve to stay buried, but I've long believed they're a crucial transitional component of Hong Kong cinema's "down" period.

That was a browser mistake.

Miss You Much

There's not too many theatrical gaps from the published HKFA documents. Getting an accurate list of Ally Wong and Kenneth Lau films from this period would probably help in sorting out this mess.
