Program Note

Underneath a strip-dancer′s bodybuilder-like physique and carefree attitude lies a special gift of being able to see into people’s past lives. Giant befriends rookie cop Yee and uses his gift to track down dangerous criminals; but his true reason he keeps silent. With the ever-shining (even in a huge muscle suit, which may seem absurd at first but will drag admiring applause) charm of Andy Lau and the fresh beauty of Cecilia Cheung, To and Wai’s let-me-show-you-the-definition-of-unique script will guide you to a touching maze of Karma and love. Fans of ‘action master’ To also should beware of their jaws.
