DB Title Addition: THE SASSY CLASSMATE (2003)

[Brian Thibodeau]

Back to the bargain bins for this little videogramme about a killer stalking the Beach Blanket Bingo set that would make Del Tenney proud.

Lots of pics for this one, including at least two each for most of the cast, as I'm not sure many of them will be in the DB already.




OPENING CREDITS:

























CLOSING CREDITS Someone can probably take character names from these (if they're even included!), after which I can link up some of the cast photos, if any can't be IDd right away:












CAST PORTRAITS (2 each, except for Karel Wong & Law Kar-ying)









































This girl gets multiple portraits because, well, she's my new girlfriend. I'm a sucker for a girl in glasses and sunhats. Just don't tell my current girlfriend. I'm hoping I can juggle them both.











Karel Wong


Law Kar-ying


ASSORTED GROUP SHOTS, etc.:


NOT a spoiler!!




Aaahhh...the glasses. So classy...& sassy!










(yes, most of the time, they travel as a group!)


Karel Wong + Chicken + Knife Handle = Lunch



And finally, some gratuitous (and slightly equal opportunity) beach frolicking (and unlike many HK movies with beach backdrops, the characters in this one actually spend a good third of the film at the beach!):

Added movie, 3 cast, poster, portraits.

Do we know for sure this is from 2001? The few places I could find that actually stock this VCD have it listed as a 2003 release. Unless it was filmed earlier, which wouldn't surprise...

Do we know for sure this is from 2001?

I took the info from this site, so I am as sure as they are......

I took the info from this site, so I am as sure as they are......

I'm not so sure I'd be so sure of that information. They've got Helena Law Lan featured prominently on their poster art, and she's not even in the movie. There's an older woman in the film—briefly—who might pass for her if you turned off all the lights in the room and had her turn away from you, but it ain't Helena! I won't mention the dodgy appearance of some of their other sleeves...

This site lists April 2004 as a release date for the VCD

and this one lists 2003 as the production year

Some sites say 2001... I added "estimated year". Very valuable info!

Also added prod. co., pres., prod. man., prod., dir., writer, action dir., assist. dir., phot., ed., art dir., makeup, gaffer, costumes and 8 actors more.

added assorted images.

No roles in your credits.

[Brian Thibodeau]

Too bad about the roles. Guess it'll take a while to link the portraits to the names, especially with so many of them only appearing in this movie! Heck, I don't even know my new girlfriend's name!

By the way, the listing now has two Wong Chi-yeungs, one of whom only appears in this film. It that correct, or is Karel in there twice?

[Brian Thibodeau]

Looking at that full gallery, I realized I left off one actor, Hau Kong-Lung, who I've now ID'd both in this film and in one shot from the gallery for PAULINE'S LIFE.

Well, it's a start...

[Brian Thibodeau]

Just noticed something else. There's an actor credited on the VCD sleeve that doesn't appear to turn up in the opening or closing credits. I have a feeling this is, in fact, the nominal male lead of the picture. He's the guy with reddish brown hair whose pictures are right below Jenny Yum's. I know I've seen this guy in other films, but I can't place him. Hopefully the sleeve credit might ring a bell...

You can see it here, fourth (and final) credit from the left:
