The supporting cast features actresses Jeana Ho, Hazel Tong, Fang Ling and Former Miss Hong Kong Candy Yuen in her first onscreen nude appearance.

Yuen made headlines when videos and pictures of her nude scenes went viral over the internet. Nothing can be better than an unofficial preview, which made moviegoers flock to the cinema because of its high publicity.

Director Au Cheuk Man and the rest of the cast promoted the film around Hong Kong. They also gave full gratitude to the fans who have supported them in making this film a success.

"For a Category III film to do so well in the box office, it definitely makes people want to jump for joy. In terms of how to thank the fans- I want to take part in doing a body sushi event with the director and Jeana," Dominic Ho quipped, while adding further that he is looking forward to the moment the movie will hit a $10 million HKD mark.

The cast seemed to have built a casual relationship around each during press appearances. Though there was speculation that Yuen and Jeana apparently did not get along. This was further manifested by the fact that they don't talk much offscreen.
