Louis Koo Tin Lok, Nick Cheung Ka Fai, Lau Ching Wan, Ken Low Wai Kwong and Ben Lam Kwok Bun two nights ago worked on the Universe Film SO DUK (DRUG SWEEP) in Thailand. The film company chose a building where several murders took place to shoot Koo Tin Lok running away from Low Wai Kwong and Lam Kwok Bun. Cheung Ka Fai and Lau Ching Wan arrived to save him. The walls of the building have already been demolished. Goo Jai needed wires for his mid air performance. Ka Fai who still had trouble extending his pinky had to jump on the roof of a car to pull Goo Jai back into the building.

Goo Jai suffered a leg injury while working on A CHINESE GHOST STORY (SUN SIN NUI YAU WON) and then an arm injury on INFERNO (TOH CHOOK SUN TIN). Yet he still insisted on personally performing the stunt. His vehicle was forced to the edge of the building. Ten stories above he was hanging in mid air. Finally during one of the shoots his left arm was injured. Luckily the team and the on site medical team treated it in time. Goo Jai said, "Actually this time wasn't the toughest or the most dangerous. When I made CONNECTED (BO CHI TUNG WA) I almost slid downhill inside a car. I almost fell in the baby rescue scene in ROB B HOOD (BO BUI GAI WAT). They were the most dangerous. This time the protective gear was so tight that I had difficulty breathing!"

Ka Fai still had to perform a highly difficult stunt despite his misshapen pinky. He said, "Sigh! Such a mess at such an age! Right now my pinky is still z shaped. I can close it but I can't straighten it. (You still have to save Goo Jai?) I am still OK with my activity ability! I still haven't had time for the operation, after this movie I would have to make time no matter what."

Producer Alvin Lam Siu Keung had nothing but praise for Goo Jai and Ka Fai's professionalism and even said that this was one of the reasons that they kept working together. He even revealed that the actors had HK$10 million insurance policy each. The team will stay in Thailand for a month. The only actress Yolanda Yuan Quan got lucky and did not have to shoot any dangerous stunt.

Lau Ching Wan only had to draw a gun to force Low Wai Kwong and others to release Goo Jai and had a much easier time than Koo Tin Lok and Cheung Ka Fai who had to be on wires and climb on top of a car. Ching Wan had no complaint despite the long wait for his scene. He even chatted with Berg Ng Ting Yip unlike his usually silent image. He said, "I am mainly responsible for pointing a gun at Low Wai Kwong, it's not easy!" Even Ka Fai thought Ching Wan's personality change was strange, as he repeatedly said, "Why does Ching Wan have so much to say?"

Low Wai Kwong was injured in the film and painfully rolled on the ground. Although the environment was dirty, during the shoot he lay down all the same and screamed to the Heavens. He was very professional.
