Fat Choi Spirit
Fat Choi Spirit traditional Chinese simplified Chinese is a 2002 Hong Kong comedy film produced and directed by Johnnie To and Wai Kafai, and starring Andy Lau, Lau Chingwan, Louis Koo, Gigi Leung and Cherrie In.
Andy is an extremely compulsive Mahjong player. Thrown out of the house by his mother and ignored by his more academically gifted and successful younger brother, Louis, he had a hard time running away from debt collectors until one day he met a young girl named Gigi after a runin with some of the debt collectors men. Gigi started out as a thief, but because she fell for him and gave him immense luck, Andy gained great success with his extreme good luck in mahjong games and became very rich. However he refused to marry Gigi because she, though a nice woman when with him, was in reality quite a sore loser who threw temper tantrums while on the verge of losing mahjong games. She could not understand that he couldnt stand the way she behaved. As Andy said, her behaviour could be revealed by just playing a game of mahjong where when she lost, she would throw the tables. He promised her that he would marry her if she could play a game of mahjong without such a bad temper. She couldnt and so he couldnt marry her though he loved her. In the meantime, Andy found his mother who was now suffering from Alzheimers disease and his brother who faced bankruptcy and moved in with Andy, who coincidentally lived in a bungalow. Not wanting to lose out in finding a job, Louis who had excellent luck in Mahjong but zero skill, was conned out of all his money and even his clothes by a skilled, yet devious mahjong player, Sean, portrayed by Lau Chingwan. But being a kind hearted simpleton, a woman on the con team, Cherrie fell for him and decided to mend her ways.In the meantime, Gigi who was very disappointed with Andys refusal to marry her, went with the bad crowd, in the form of mahjong con men led by Lau Chingwan. Andy who was cursed by Gigi lost his winning streak and instead found a living as a taxi driver and moved into public housing. Being ever optimistic, he did not complain. However, not wanting Gigi to fall into the con mens trap, he played a game of mahjong with Sean and lost
