Avid cook Johnnie To Kei Fung earlier while working on THREE (SAM YUN HUNG) became the head chef of his troop, as he turned into Chef Johnnie to cook his specialty "black truffle oil rice". As the fragrance flowed out of the set kitchen, Louis Koo Tin Lok, Vicki Zhao Wei, Wallace Chung Han Leung, Michael Tse Tin Wa, Timmy Hung Tin Ming, Tam Yuk Ying, Lo Hoi Pang and other actors brought their own bowls and lined up to wait for Chef Johnnie to fill each of them.

Playing the highly intelligent criminal, Chung Han Leung said, "We are like a big family, every night we eat together with To Sir, Mrs. To and the entire team. Usually Mrs. To is the one who cooks. It's delicious and I feel very happy. Of course I don't get to cook, I only am responsible for setting the table, bringing out the food, my most important responsibility is to 'eat', hahaha!" He revealed that he loved to eat, every time he was responsible for "sweeping up" of all the remaining food. On the day of the set visit, Chung Han Leung beat an egg for Zhao Wei, but the bowl had too little egg and too much sauce. He careful stirred to away spillage. Playing a brain doctor, Zhao Wei was still at work so she was frying eggs in the kitchen in a doctor robe. The fried egg and onion dish she made seemed simple but was the most suitable for Goo Jai. He gladly had more than his fill.

When everyone was busy in the kitchen, Goo Jai was just as silent as the cop he liked as he quietly "watched from the sideline". Why did he not cook? he said, "With so many masters, do I need to? I can just eat!"

53 year old Jet Li (Lee Nin Kit) has been rumored to be wheel chair bound due to illness. Yesterday he attended a Beijing charity event and personally dispelled the rumor. "Today I saw online a report about me being wheel chair bound due to illness, something about working hard to make money in the first half of life and working hard to treat an illness in the second half of life." Lee Nin Kit said that it was an example that he cited once when he encouraged Hong Kong university students about life choices. In 2000 the doctor once warned him that due to his leg injury he might be wheel chair bound in old age. He stressed that he had a thyroid problem and would positively face the illness, but he truly was not in a wheel chair.

Due to his religion he no longer fully focus on his film career. Lee Nin Kit revealed that in the second half of the year he will help more young people. He rather enjoy watching the process of other people succeeding, which has been great.

"Three women had never endless topics, I will have to go to dinner with the two sisters to talk in detail!" Stephy appeared in a police uniform, a strong contrast to her earlier cool killer look. She said, "This film has many night shoots, I managed to be trained in 'dead in daylight' skills. Working with the two of them has been very pleasant!" Gaile who has not worked on a movie for awhile said, "Thank you to everyone in the team for taking care of a less than e experienced actor like me. This team is extremely crazy!"

Chung Hiu in the trailer talked about the high ranking officials being "out of touch" as thousands of protesters marched on the streets, both were very touching. Ka Yi revealed that she will work on the soundtrack. "Including the film score, I would perform one song. Chung Hiu's political subject song music video WE'RE NOT AFRAID would be also included." Reportedly this film might be compared with the film TEN YEARS (SUP NIN)? Chung Hiu said that both films were different. THE MENU talked about more freedom of the speech and spread the letter would transmit love to send some love to the U.S.

Jeana Ho Pui Yu revealed that in September she will work on her new film and played someone with a mental problem. Earlier in a play she played depressed but she was not afraid that leaving the role would be heard. She felt that this was the motivation for an actor. Was she worried that if she was too in character she would scare about suitors? She said, "No, but Mommy lately said that she wanted a grandchild. Perhaps I would be able to find a foreigner for sperm donation. (Would you want a foreigner for a boyfriend?) He doesn't have to be. Now I have someone I am getting to know, someone in the business. The communication is easier and we can support each other."

Eric praised Lemon for her rapid improvement. He said, "Although Lemon is new, she was very fast of picking things up. She had few bad takes. (Do you have any romance?) Very light! We only supported each other, mutual admiration relationship. The kiss scene will have to wait for the sequel!" Lemon said that she fell for Eric. "Thanks to Eric watching over, he is very willing to teach me. (Do you want to add any relationship scene?) He is so handsome, during the shoot I fell for him! (Sin Kwok Lam praised your potential?) Thank you Master Sin, actually it is the first time I have such a major role. Thank you to everyone for being willing to teach me."

Sin Kwok Lam told Chau Ka Lei to know her script well. She explained. "Because elders like Cheung Kwok Keung and Mak Cheung Ching were in the same scene, I was nervous! I am used to hosting, I have to adjust the tone of my delivery." Sin Kwok Lam said, "Everyone says that Lemon improved fast, when her elder (Rose) Chan Ka Wun was new she had stage fright too. However Lemon was calm. I will keep her in mind for the series and new films later!"

Xanadu Ng Hiu Hiu recently switched to music and film. Earlier she worked on the horror science fiction film LADY Z (SI SIU JEH Z) with former ATV artist Kiwi Yuen Kit Yi.

In the film Xanadu became "Lady Z". Earlier she shot a ghost baby birth scene while out with three models Sasa Wong, Elizabeth Lam and Ele Sun. Xanadu after drinking suddenly felt dizzy, then was in so much pain that she kept screaming. She even rolled around on the table. The ladies held her down and put a towel in her mouth. Xanadu ignored her wardrobe malfunction while performing. After the shoot when everyone and director Sam Gor watched the playback they all praised her performance.

Xanadu said that the production experience has been pleasant, everyone worked together and resolved many problems. The most memorable was having to scream with all his might in the birth scene with sweat and blood all over. "It was pretty tough! I hope for the result to be realistic and everyone would like it. I haven't had a baby, I never thought that my first time would be an odd birth. It's pretty scary!" Lead actor, director and screen writer Sam Gor said that he was also the action director and special effect make up artist. "The most fun was being the zombie double! This time I was able to in a short raise limited resources for the movie. I am very happy to have the support of Yuen Kit Yi, Kiu Bo Bo, Xanadu. The film wants to reflect certain extreme social problems, with horror, science fiction elements. Hong Kong doesn't have too many films of this type."
