Encyclopedia : O : OK : OKI : Okinawa Rendez-vous
Okinawa Rendezvous is a Hong Kong film starring Leslie Cheung, Faye Wong, Tony Leung Ka-Fai and Gigi Lai. It was directed and produced by Gordon Chan in 2000.
While not one of Hong Kong's more significant films of the year, it was claimed by its director that it was filmed in less than 2 months without a script. It was shot entirely in the southern Japanese island of Okinawa and the film features many beautiful views of the island.
Its theme song was sung by Leslie Cheung entitled Without Love (没有爱) and is also found in his 2000 album Big Heat (大热). Also, there were a few possible sub-themes like Faye Wong's New Tenant (新房客) which is as well available in her 2000 album Fable (寓言).
Plot details
Elsewhere, Dat Lo (Tony Leung) was vacationing with his girlfriend (Gigi Lai) and another jilted girl (Stephanie Che) in Okinawa (intending to use the vacation to dump his own girlfriend), but stumbles into Jimmy whom he had little problems recognising as an international crook. From here onwards, Dat set aside his irrelevant plans to dump his companions and sought to devise a plan to entrap and to subsequently arrest Jimmy. Dat tried to convince Jimmy as an accomplice to a new bank heist of which Jimmy needed little persuasion. However, Jenny comes into the frame and before long, both Jimmy and Dat fell in love with her.
