The Film:
Chasing her unfulfilled love dream, a Japanese girl named Hitomi goes
to Hong Kong, While there, she meets an undercover detective named Karbo
who looks just like her recently deceased fiance...
Michelle appears as a good friend (and retired former partner) of Karbo.
No she doesn't fight or execute any stunts in this movie. What's
unforgettable is the scene where she allows a glimmer of a wistful smile
to break over her face, which will make you ponder with her as to what
might have been.
** Michelle agreed to make the special appearance in this movie
as a favor to a friend and in order to help Hong Kong film industry. She
did the film for free and modestly asked that her name not to be used for
the film promotion. Her appearance in the film is less than 10 minutes
in length. But Michelle managed to give one of the best dramatic
performances I have seen.
