All’s Well, Ends Well (1992)

The first of the All’s Well, Ends Well series, starring A-listers including Stephen Chow, Leslie Cheung, Maggie Cheung and Sandra Ng, is one of the classic Chinese New Year movies that’s shown every year by Hong Kong TV channels since its release nearly 30 years ago. The family comedy follows the chaotic romantic lives of three siblings (played by Chow, Cheung and producer Raymond Wong). It’s one of the most well-known mo lei tau films – a brand of nonsensical slapstick comedy made famous by Stephen Chow.

All’s Well, End’s Well Too (1993)

This classic period comedy set in the Song dynasty is one of many similarly named Chinese New Year movies produced by film mogul Raymond Wong. The plot starts off with siblings Chow Tung and Chow Gut (Samuel Hui and Sandra Ng) being forced to wed people they don’t love, and their reluctance to go through with the plan soon descends into farce, as characters played by Leslie Cheung, Rosamund Kwan and others join the plot.
