Louis thanked the Malaysian audience for the vehement support and warm reception. He hopes that the movie will continue the box office rampage. The four of them sent their CNY greetings to the audience in advance. Kevin thanked Louis for the opportunity to star in this monumental blockbuster. Personally, I feel that Raymond and Louis off screen roles have the same master and disciple connections as portrayed in “Back To The Past”. Under Louis’ tutelage, Raymond has indeed been breaking barriers and achieved tremendous results in the movie industry. As for Louis and Jessica, the “CP” (Canto lingo/slang) vibes are pretty strong. However, for now, the relationship seems to be purely platonic. Louis disclosed that he would also release the alternative ending version if box office results meet the mark. A point to note, this film features extensive action sequences choreographed by Sammo Hung. Produced by One Cool Film Production, the plot of “Back To The Past” took placed 20 years after the tv drama. Hong Siu Long (Louis Koo) and his family have moved to the countryside, to steer clear of Ying Ching/Emperor Qin (Raymond Lam)’s radar. However, Ken (Michael Miu), from present era suddenly travels through time and attempts to seize the throne from Raymond, causing chaos and reuniting Raymond and Louis in the process. To spice up the dialogue, Louis deliberately included witty and modern phrase such as “Hit Your Lung” (丁你個肺). . My take is the movie is pretty decent but could have been longer, more screen time for Jessica and the ending does seems a little rushed. Nevertheless, it is still a valiant effort from Boss Koo, as it is truly challenging to bring together all the original ensemble (including production crew), where most are attached with different employers now. Louis has also released a vinyl record and CD, comprising the theme song of “Back To The Past” and his past classics.
