The movie, budgeted at around 130 million Hong Kong dollars ($16.7m), features Chinese leading actress Gao Yuanyuan, the star of Cannes Jury Prize-winning "Shanghai Dreams", as well as veteran kung fu experts Yuen Biao and Sammo Hung. The plot revolves around the calamitous capers of a bunch of small-time crooks after they steal a car without realising a small child is in it, according to Variety magazine.

Filming is scheduled to wrap up in March with an eye towards an October release in the US, it added. afp"
