Review :
One of the first few memorable movies that I had watched when I was young.
When I first watched it, I didn't know that all these casts were actually popular celebrities such as Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung & Aaron Kwok.
All I know was that the roles were related to Street Fighter; the first video game I had came into contact with.
Besides being related to Street fighter, Dicky Cheung appeared as Sun Goku too, the main character of Dragon ball franchise, as well as Nobita of Doraemon.
Andy Hui starred as Gian/Suneo, both the bully and rich kid role while Charlie Yeung roled as Shizuka, the girl that Nobita fantasise over.
This movie can be considered my childhood all-time favourite,
along with Ten Brothers/十兄弟 (1995 Film)

Cheerios!
