Gorgeous (1999)

Love has a way of finding us in the most unexpected places, even when we're searching for something else entirely. Vincent Kok's romantic action-comedy "Gorgeous" stars Shu Qi as Bu, a sweet, dreamy young woman from a small Taiwanese fishing village who finds a romantic message in a bottle and sets off for Hong Kong to find the man who wrote it. The writer, Albert (Tony Leung Chiu-wai), turns out not to be the romance she imagined. Instead, Bu meets C.N. (Jackie Chan), a charming, wealthy tycoon locked in a feud with scheming corporate rival Howie (Emil Chau). Captivated by Bu's innocence and warmth, C.N. finds himself falling hopelessly in love. But when Howie hires a formidable fighter (Brad Allan) to take him down, C.N. has to fight for his business, his life and the woman he loves. With some of Chan's most dazzling fight scenes, it's a charming change of pace.
