Chungking Express (1994) dir. Wong Kar-wai 

On the decision to make both Tony Leung and Takeshi Kaneshiro’s characters policemen

“In the 90s the way to get financing in Hong Kong, in most instances, [is by] first presenting the pictures. In most cases  you won’t have a script yet, but you’ll have a cast, and you’ll have to tell the distributors what is the premise of the film. For Chunking Express, it’s very hard to explain to them, ‘This is a story about Hong Kong,’ or ‘This is a film about music,’ etc etc. Forget it, they won’t take it or be interested. So you have explain to them that, ‘This is a story about a very dangerous woman in Tsim Tsa Tsui, and detectives are trying to get near her!’ They’ll then jump to say, “Ah, this is a cop story!” So they will take it. That’s why they’re cops.”
