Now
he's lost it...
The following
connection to the film Needing You is our
most ridiculous reach - and proof that Hong Kong's
humidity short-circuited my mind. See how boredom
and creative license can turn a photo screw-up into
a nifty photo opportunity. I expect many people to
write in asking me to stop wasting their time. Please
be kind.

Fat Angelo's in Central - Actual Photo
I snapped this picture because the restaurant looked
familiar. That's it. Little did I know that it played
an absolutely miniscule and completely peripheral role
in the Johnnie To film Needing You, starring
Andy Lau and Sammi Cheng. Wah Siu (Lau) and Kinki (Cheng)
go to Fat Angelo's on a blind date, but unfortunately
that was a different Fat Angelo's. The Fat Angelo's
pictured to the left happens to be next door to the
Chinese restaurant where Wah Siu enjoys a fine lunch
of beef noodle with bull penis. This lesser Fat Angelo's
does appear in the film, though. Read on and learn...

Kinki leaves
Upset over Wah-Siu's ingesting of bull manhood, Kinki
leaves in a huff, managing to pass by the green storefront
of Fat Angelo's and the distinctive yellow street lamp/globe
thing that's clearly visible in the Actual Photo. She
also passes the red awning which - trust me on this
one - has the number 49 emblazoned on it in that wacky
Fat Angelo's font. I'm being genuine here. Really.

Kinki returns
Sadly, Kinki dropped her "love amulet" back
at the bull penis store, so she returns quickly (the
woman with the red hair, gray sweater, and dark skirt
pictured right next to the yellow street lamp/globe
thing is Kinki). Once again notice the distinctive street
lamp, red awning, nearly visible number "49",
and now the distinctive windows of Fat Angelo's, clearly
seen in the above Actual Photo. |

The Webmaster resolves to quit crack
Kinki continues to head past Fat Angelo's and back to
the bull penis store, but the Webmaster has clearly
gone insane so he resolves to quit smoking crack. You
may ask: why didn't I just take a picture of the actual
restaurant that Andy Lau and Sammi Cheng were in? Why
the one next to it? Well...uh...I screwed up. And more
importantly, does anyone out there actually care? Because
I've come to question the sanity of this endeavor, I
shall now end Kozo in Hong Kong. Besides, I've
run out of pictures. |

The
Kozo in Hong Kong Challenge
I humbly implore everyone out
there: visit Hong Kong if you get the chance. The food
is fantastic, the sights great, and the DVD shopping
is wicked cheap. Having visited Hong Kong three times
now, I can honestly say that I have yet to tire of the
place. If you're headed that way and would like some
amateur tips, you're welcome to contact
me here.
Better yet, I will now issue
the Kozo in Hong
Kong Challenge. Find some really esoteric Hong
Kong movie location, snap a digital photo of it, and
reference the movie and scene. I'll be happy to archive
it on a special page here at LoveHKFilm.com
as proof that there are people out there just as weird
as me. Oh, and because it'd be interesting, too. |
