There is football in the story of the film, so the football match is naturally indispensable. According to the rules of modern football, both sides must have 11 players on the field. In order to select other "players", the film company extensively recruited actors to join the "team" in Hong Kong, Guangzhou, and Shanghai in 2000, with more than 7,000 candidates. Mo Meilin from Hong Kong, China is a gymnast and has a certain level of kung fu. Chen Guokun, another from Hong Kong, was selected by Stephen Chow because he looked a lot like Bruce Lee and even had similar actions. There are also Mingming Zhang and Pu Yedong from Shanghai, who played the roles of Patrick Tse and Ng Man Tat in their youth, respectively. Their disguised images can almost be fake and real. Even Patrick Tse and Ng Man Tat were surprised. Among the recruited actors, Shi Ziyun was the best Kung Fu. He was a real Shaolin monk and was a martial arts coach at the Shenzhen Public Security Bureau.

Why is this such a good work only 7.1 points? It seems that there are not many Hong Kong films around 2001 that can be appreciated by the mainland, not to mention the idea, action design and special effects. Which one is still crushing the same kind today? This is the most touching part of Xing Ye's works that describes the friendship. Have you all forgotten the brothers who played football with you in those years?

I rewatched it at noon on October 31, 2018. I originally planned to watch it for a while and then turn it off after eating; I couldn't stop it. This is the case with several of Stephen Chow's films before :)
