Dan and King are small-time Triad members in Hong Kong. After an incident in which their prank ends up losing their boss, Coyote Kwan, a huge sum of money, and in which they steal hundreds of thousands of HK dollars from Ray, boss from the rival gang, the two punks are forced to flee to Phuket, Thailand. They live the high life with their stolen money, partying and falling for two local hot girls. One turns out to be a mute assassin, and the other to be the mistress of Ray.
Directed by Dante Lam Chiu-yin, Runaway leans on a strong ensemble — Nick Cheung Ka-Fai, Samuel Pang King-Chi, Ruby Wong Cheuk-Ling — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2001.
