“Granted, I wasnu0026#39;t really harboring much of any expectations for u0026quot;Choi wan kuku0026quot; (aka u0026quot;Once Upon a Rainbowu0026quot;) as I had the opportunity to sit down in 2021 and watch the movie for the first time.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd I will say that writers Hong-kiu Hoh, Man Sang Lo, Kar-Wai Wong and Chung-Man Yee really didnu0026#39;t collectively manage to write a story that proved very entertaining to me. Surprisingly enough since this movie actually had Kar-Wai Wong working on it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHowever, I did watch it, since it was a Hong Kong movie that I hadnu0026#39;t already seen. And the movie did actually have a young Andy Lau and Eric Tsang among the cast, alongside with a couple other familiar faces here and there.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBut the storyline told in u0026quot;Once Upon a Rainbowu0026quot; felt way too random and chaotic to provide much of any entertainment for me. And I have to admit that my interest in the movie was quickly fading, and my attention drifted elsewhere.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFor me then u0026quot;Once Upon a Rainbowu0026quot; was not an outstanding moment in the 1980s Hong Kong cinema, and there are far better and more entertaining movies from that era out there.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMy rating of director Agnes Ngu0026#39;s 1982 movie lands on a mere three out of ten stars.”
