The Nick Cheung Ka Fai, William Chan Wai Ting, Isabella Leong Lok Si, Shaun Tam Chun Yin, Philip Keung Ho Man and others starred, Chrissie Chau Sau Na guest starred, Tony Yang special guest starred Emperor Motion Picture BURSTING POINT (BAU LIT DIM) has been heating up in its release. The film rarely used an all Hong Kong team, shot on location on the busy streets of Hong Kong, and used Michael Kwai Ching Kit's classic hit BIG MEN (DAI JEUNG FU) as its end credit song to make the real emotions among the masculinity stand out. To make the audience get into BURSTING POINT even more, the two lead actors Ka Fai and William performed BIG MEN together. In the music video Ka Fai and William in the recording studio sang the duet with real emotions, with BURSTING POINT's shocking visuals they greatly elevated the influence.

Ka Fai said, "I haven't been inside a recording studio in awhile. When the film opens, I should work hard on promoting to make even more viewers would support BURSTING POINT. So I am very glad to sing BIG MEN again with William. With the actors' personal performance, we should bring even better results." During the recording, Ka Fai kept imagining his BURSTING POINT character and projected his full emotions into performing BIG MEN. Speaking of why this classic series theme song was chosen to be BURSTING POINT's end credit song, Ka Fai analyzed, "Chief Director and producer Dante Lam Chiu Yin has always liked to use some old Cantonese song for film score. Leaving a deeper impression with me earlier was the song in STOOL PIGEON (SIN YUN); lately he always says to me, we can use classic song titles to come up with a story. Using BIG MEN in BURSTING POINT helped with boosting the morale, atmosphere, innocently commend 'BIG MEN's' path. In addition using this song to express the character I play is also very suitable."

William admitted, "Some end title songs are done for gimmick, very rarely would they help the film and add points to them. However this time we have really done it. At the premiere when I heard BIG MEN, my hair was on its end. (Michael) Kwan Ching Kit's voice is very representative of the times, with our stills being played on the screen it really has quite a feeling and people deeply understand. This is the determination that men should have, no matter what the result is we should charge ahead. Only then would we deserved to be called 'BIG MEN'." Chan Wai Ting pointed out that to be able to act and sing with his idol Cheung Ka Fai, he was rather pleased with reaching what he considered the star chasing "ceiling".
