Member whitesnake Posted December 12, 2018 Member Share Posted December 12, 2018 A Lifetime Treasure is a new screwball comedy "set in an old people's home where the peace of an eccentric group of retirees is about to be shattered by a gangster out for revenge." The movie is co-directed by Mak Kai Kwong and Andrew Lam Man Chung, who also plays the retired doctor running the home. The cast also include Teddy Robin (who is also producer), Sammo Hung, Louis Cheung (L Storm), Ivana Wong (Love Detective), Bob Lam (Young and Dangerous: Reloaded), Bruce Leung (The Clones of Bruce Lee), Tien Niu (The Brave Archer), Lam Suet (Monk Comes Down the Mountain), Richard Ng (Winners and Sinners), Carl Ng (New Police Story), and Dennis To (Ip Man). A Lifetime Treasure will get a 2019 Chinese New Year release.

Member DragonClaws Posted December 13, 2018 Member Share Posted December 13, 2018 I'm sold, purely on that image featured in the YouTube video window, add Bruce Siu-Leung and Richard Ng, and I've gotta see this one. It's a long shot, but fingers crossed, Cine-Asia pick this up, for a U.K release. Love the concept too, thanks for the head'sup on this one @whitesnake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Chu Liu Hsiang Posted February 14, 2019 Member Share Posted February 14, 2019 LIFETIME TREASURE premiered late January http://hktopten.blogspot.com/2019/01/20190131-richard-ng-requires-daily.html I look forward to watching this as I like the cast, and plot idea. There just has to be a movie like this, considering the age of old school stars, and part of their fandom as well. The article reports that Richard Ng sadly suffers from chronic kidney disease, but insisted on returning to work. Hopefully he will be able to do some more movies - or enjoy retirement, whatever he prefers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
