Since 'Chungking Express' was filmed in sequence or "like a road movie" as Kar-Wai Wong has said, Wong wrote each scene either the night before or in the morning of the day of filming.
Veteran actress Brigitte Lin came out of retirement to have a starring role in the film as the drug smuggler in a blonde wig. She was very eager to work with Kar-Wai Wong.
Takeshi Kaneshiro speaks four languages in this film. His narration is all in Mandarin, most of his dialog is in heavily-accented Cantonese, he speaks Japanese when he calls one of his ex-girlfriends, and he speaks one line of English when apprehending a suspect ("hands up!"). He tries all four when he approached Brigitte Lin's character.
Faye Wong is better known in Hong Kong as a pop singer. Indeed, that is her singing on the cover version of The Cranberries song "Dreams" that we hear during the film.
Quentin Tarantino signed a deal with Miramax specially to start his own releasing company so that he could get Chungking Express (1994) out to a wider public.
"He Zhiwu, Cop 223: If memories could be canned, would they also have expiry dates? If so, I hope they last for centuries."
"Cop663: You like noisy music? Faye: Yes. The louder the better. Stops me from thinking. Cop663: You don't like to think? What do you like? Faye: Never thought about it."
