Bosco Wong Chung Chak and Michael Tse Tin Wa since the film TURNING POINT 2 (LAUGHING GOR ji CHIM JUI FAN) worked together again after 11 years on the film MO GAN YUT JIN. The film had a lot of action, gun fights and explosion scenes. In recent years Tin Wa focused on developing in the Mainland, his rate was not what it used to be. This time his salary was very high for the film MO, but Tin Wa revealed that Bosco had the most action scenes in the film. His salary naturally was the highest!

Lately Bosco and Tse Tin Wa have been busy with the film MO GAN YUT JIN. Earlier they along with Joel Chan Shan Chung, Tony Wu Tsz Tung shot a prison vehicle hijacking and a fight scene on location. In the film Bosco was undercover, under a rain of bullets a group of hired guns hijacked a prison vehicle. Inside was the son of a mob boss he wanted to get close to. Many car chases were shot, and Bosco and Shan Chung with rifles in hand worked.

Bosco and Wu Tsz Tung spoke to the press together. Bosco said, "This time playing a mercenary. The boss was arrested and the top boss ordered to save him. Earlier we shot in the tunnel for two nights. The funnest was the tunnel was empty, we would go in and take photos even if it would kill us. Wu Tsz Tung was lucky. The first night we shot my fight, he could not be seen. The next night was his turn. We fought from the tunnel to here, earlier Tse Tin Wa and I shot a fight scene overnight in Mongkok. We also had a crane cargo truck and a bomb factory. Looking back it was a little scary. The shoot has been rather smooth, bumps and bruises were inevitable."

Wu Tsz Tung performed more comfortably in comparison. In the film he kept getting into troubles, kept getting save by others. A real bad guy who has done all the bad things, he was fortunate to be saved by Bosco. Seeing his "blood" on his head, he joked, "It's my own fault, I urge everyone not be the bad guy." In the film Tsz Tung and Chan Shan Chung were step brothers, he even died under Shan Chung's gun. He regretted that he was unable to see the "old man" (Chan Wai Man) one last time. Speaking of their romantic scenes, Wu Tsz Tung pointed out that Bosco got lucky. Bosco however clarified that his relationship with Sisley Choi Si Bui stopped with a peck. They did not even hold hands because of the lack of space and it was a men's film. He and Tin Wa have not worked together for 11 years, as soon as they saw each other they could not stop talking.

As for Tse Tin Wa he had numerous action scenes. He pointed out that the crime subject must have car chases and explosion scenes. He revealed that earlier he shot a fight scene on Fa Yuen Street and they trashed 5 stalls and half of Fa Yuen Street. Lately he made less extraneous action because he already had aches and sores all over from fighting. Was his salary the highest? Tin Wa said, "Are you talking about Bosco? Whoever fights more has more salary." Which one fought the most? Tin Wa and Shan Chung both said Bosco, hinting that Bosco's film salary was the highest. Tin Wa joked, "I don't know how much Bosco charges. While he is able to switch mansions, I can only switch pants. (Did you fight until your pants ripped?) Just the shirt sleeve, if I ripped my pants how could I go on!"

Tin Wa and Shan Chung in the film play a cop and a crook. Tin Wa has not returned to make a movie in years. He said that he has always liked Hong Kong film's flavor, which had quite a sense of belonging. Work had another style. In addition he was very familiar with this team. Everyone with chemistry picked things up very quickly, as they did not need time to get used to each other. Was he interested in making a series? He said that he was, as long as the schedule, the location and the people would be able to coordinate then he would consider it. Last year Tin Wa left Hong Kong for ten months, he felt that the children grew up very fast. His daughter was already 4 nd his son 7. He would fight for more time to be with them in Hong Kong during this period.
