Chu Yan, the lead actress playing opposite comedian Stephen Chow in "Pandora's Box", loosely based on the Chinese classical novel "Journey to the West", only makes guest appearance in Jeff Lau's new film.
In the film, "Pandora's Box" still applies its magic and has people go back in time and space. Chu Yan reprises the immortal fairy Zixia, serving as a connection line that mixes different scenarios together.
Co-starring Hong Kong actor Ronald Cheng Chung Kei and mainland actress Sun Li, "Once Upon a Chinese Classic" has rallied many other veteran actors like Huang Bo, Sandra Ng Kwan Yue, Eric Tsang Chi Wai.
The slapstick is set to tickle the audience as it reaches out to many classic scenes from blockbuster films like John Woo's "Red Cliff", the black comedy "Crazy Racing Car" by Ning Hao, as well as 1997 romantic drama "Titanic" and directorial work of Stephen Chow "CJ7".
