A Moment Of Romance Blu-Ray

A Moment of Romance (1990) is a Hong Kong action-romance film directed by Benny Chan and produced by Johnnie To. The movie stars Andy Lau as Wah Dee, a tough and loyal triad getaway driver, and Wu Chien-lien (in her film debut) as Jo Jo, a wealthy and innocent girl caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. The film is known for its blend of high-octane action, tragic romance, and iconic 1990s Hong Kong style, and is considered a classic of the era’s “heroic bloodshed” genre.

The story begins when Jo Jo becomes an accidental hostage during a botched jewelry store robbery. Wah Dee, unexpectedly moved by her bravery and innocence, protects her from his gang. As the two come from vastly different social worlds, their romance develops under the shadow of criminal retribution and societal disapproval. Wah Dee, torn between his loyalty to his triad brothers and his desire for a better life with Jo Jo, must ultimately choose between love and loyalty—with devastating consequences.

A Moment of Romance was a major commercial and critical success in Hong Kong. It catapulted Andy Lau to stardom and helped define the romantic-action subgenre in Hong Kong cinema. The film inspired two sequels and remains a beloved cult favorite.
