They had collaborated to great success in comedies such as
Fight Back To School (1991) and
Justice, My Foot! (1992) but had not worked together since
Shaolin Soccer in 2001.
Since the death of actor Ng Man Tat about two weeks ago, many Hong Kong media outlets have wondered if his frequent collaborator, actor-director Stephen Chow, would appear at his wake.
On Sunday (March 7), Chow, 58, turned up to pay his respects to Ng, 70, who died on Feb 27 of liver cancer.
He showed up with his elder sister Kelly Chow at about 4pm, wearing a cap and dressed in black. He was at the wake for about nine minutes and left without speaking to the media.
