Trivialidades:

The character He Zhiwu, who is mute but able to communicate with the audience through narration, tells us he became mute after eating a tin of pineapple with a past expiration date. A character in the earlier 'Wong Kar-wai' film, _Chong qing sen lin (1994)_, is obsessed with the expiration dates on tins of pineapple. In addition, they are both named He Zhiwu (though the character in _Chong qing sen lin (1994)_ is a cop, and the character in this film is a former criminal) and both are played by the actor Takeshi Kaneshiro.

Citas:

The Killer's Agent: The road wasn't long, and I knew I'd be getting off soon. But at that moment, I felt such warmth.

One of my favorites.

Absolutely brilliant. When I first saw Chung King Express, it quickly became one of my favorite movies. It still is, but Fallen Angels is even better. It encompasses so much. There is such a potent mix of action, drama, humor, love, music etc. that it overwhelmed me and left me in a state not unlike post-orgasmic ecstasy. Since I've seen it four times now and the effect hasn't been diminished one iota, I'm convinced that this one oughta go down in the record books. My extreme gratitude to Wong Kar Wai for creating this masterpiece.
