About Paper Marriage
Set in Canada, a down-on-his-luck Chinese boxer Bo Chin (Samo Hung) accepts promise of payment to marry a Hong Kong woman Jade Lee (Maggie Cheung) so she can get Canadian citizenship. They realize too late that they have been set up in a complicated plan to cheat them out of the woman's money. Their adventures begin when Bo is forced back into the ring and Jade tries her hand at mud-wrestling!
Directed by Alfred Cheung Kin-Ting, Paper Marriage leans on a strong ensemble — Sammo Hung Kam-Bo, Maggie Cheung, Alfred Cheung Kin-Ting — 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 action titles of 1988.
