| Fallen Angels | comment |
Fallen Angels (墮�天使) is a film by Wong Kar-wai released in 1995, and something in-between a sequel and a companion film for Chungking Express. Like the earlier film, its plot (a jaded hitman in a complicated relationship with his female manager agrees to One Last Job) is incidental; the real point of the film is to depict Hong Kong as Wong perceives it, a cramped urban nightscape of bright lights and endless, frantic movement. | |

Darker and Edgier: Compared to Chungking Express. While that one had two policemen as protagonists, this one's protagonists are criminals. | |

Facial Dialogue | |
| Fallen Angels / int_29ad1d69 | comment |
Facial Dialogue: Invoked. He Qiwu communicates this way to other characters on account of being mute. He acknowledges that while he isn't sure that he's able to say everything, especially to Charlie, he gets the feeling that he's generally understood. | |

Cannot Spit It Out | |
| Fallen Angels / int_653c5c73 | comment |
Cannot Spit It Out: Wong's manager is in love with him but can't manage to say so out loud. So she dresses in a leather minidress, fishnet stockings and high heels, in the hope that he'll take the hint. | |
