One of my top 3 favorite Chinese films! Bazza, how many times have you thought about Wang Fei today? :)

It's like three separate stories about two cops, but the first isn't really connected to the other two, separate via a snack bar they all go to.

Faye Wong sung that Cranberries cover btw, it's called 'Dream Person'.

Bazza, 梦中人 (Dream Person) is the Cantonese title. In PTH, the title is 挣脱 (throw off) and the lyrics are not the same.

I think I watched this movie all the way through, but I never understood it really. It's the one that has a cop as one of the characters, right? And it moves from the focus of three different characters? Can't believe I can't even remember it. Even watching the video Bazza posted I seem to remember that, but it seems as if I had just watched something like that on Youtube and not a rented movie 2 years ago... ha ha.
