The guy group MIRROR starred film WE 12 (12 GWAI TOH) would open on the 28th. They said that all 12 working together on the production was rather memorable, as they fulfilled the dream of their entire group making a movie. Earlier Edan said, "With 12 people working together at once, the production certainly had difficulties. The fight scenes in particular really had to be coordinated with a lot of detail. So the production team got 12 doubles, each with a name tag. They would perform once to test the marks before we took them. The final fight scene was very exciting. I have never shot such a long fight scene, it was 3 or 4 minutes long."

Anson Lo had the most fights. He said, "Because in the film I was the most agile, but the final 3 or 4 shots I kicked too high and accidentally injured the tendon. Luckily I recovered very quickly." Captain Lokman who also had to kick gave a "display of power", as he actually kicked through the wall. "We had a set constructed for the shoot, the wall after a few kicks were fine; but by the third kick 'bang' it had a hole. After it was fixed the next day Frankie (Chan Shui Fai) kicked through it again. The director could only replace another piece of wood."

Keung To played a hypnotist, what skills did he have? He joked, "I was the comfortable. Because agility wise I am not as stronger as the others, so I had a very simple gesture to hypnotize people. The director got a hypnotist to teach me." With the ability to communicate with animals, AK and the eavesdropping expert Stanley had many scenes with dogs. They said that the production was smoother than they imagined. AK said, "Before hand I worried that working with dogs would affect the progress, but it was rather smooth. Because trainers were on the set and the dogs' masters were there, they gave good commands so the shoot went very smoothly."

Tiger (Yau Ngo Yin) had to move all around his co-stars. He said that lightly he was light enough, otherwise the stunt team that was holding him up would have a very tough time; responsible for "disguise" Jer (Lau Ying Ting) said, "I wore a wig to pretend to be a reporter and interview the professor. Even the director who was next to me couldn't tell. I even played a chef and other roles, it was a lot of fun." Ian (Chan Cheuk Yin) was the mastermind, which member was the hardest to control? Ian said that no one was able to control them, because when working together their schedules were very hard to accommodate. MIRROR hoped that the box office would be able to reach HK$ 30 million, then they would go live to thank the MIRROR fans. Edan was afraid of being chased to "pay the bill" by the audience and did not dare to say boast about giving away benefit for WE 12 box office success. He only said, "I would be very happy then." Other members declined and pushed, as none would dare to talk casually about benefit. Jeremy Lee Chun Kit casually said, "Then we will sing." When told that was not innovative, he joked, "We get Mr. Lo (boss Lo Ting Fai) to dance, because he gets the most benefit." Lokman said that a sequel or a spin off would be the best, they could go overseas and shoot like in Europe and other places.
