Tony Leung and Shu Qi
“You can mess with me, but not my hair.” — Tony Leung’s iconic line came back, and it was still as charming. It’s always nice to watch a chill funny Tony Leung.
This movie also featured one of my beloved actresses, Shu Qi. She was gorgeous as usual in this movie. And the scene where she disguised as a man was perfectly charming.
The plot was basically the same as the original movie, just with different characters as the same roles. Although it still had its moments, I found this one less entertaining than Tokyo Raiders. It’s probably because the storyline was already nothing new, and the fighting scenes also weren’t as good. I think I prefer Ekin Cheng as Tony Leung’s partner. I think they made a better duo. I didn’t feel any found family or partnership vibe among the duo or between Lin and the Korean girls who worked under him. And this was the most entertaining thing about the original movie.

By the way, this is my first movie of 2026. Happy New Year! 🎉 Let's leave all the bad things behind in 2025 and may we all be blessed with good health, good fortune, and only happiness and great films in this new year. Cheers to 2026! 🥂I wish all the best things to everyone in this universe. ❤️
