1:99



This has to be the best inside/hongkong joke from Forensic Heroes. Currently channel u's showing part 1 wkdays 10pm but i couldnt resist and came on to watch forensic heroes 2. and also putting down moonlight resonance which i'm left with only 9 episodes. haha. even eunice has finished MR. for FH, not that i dont want to watch 1, but there's abundance of 2 online but 1 is so difficult to find. so i guess i shall just watch the Mandarin dubbed one on tv. but it's better this way so i wont confuse myself with the cases.

okay. back to the best inside/hongkong joke from FH2. u have to watch how kelvin cheng and bobby laughing non-stop after sam talked abt the 1:99 bleach.



i have to admit i didnt know what were they were laughing abt. wat's so funny abt bleach? (yes,the colourless liquid u use with ur clothes) so i went to google and found some others who were puzzled over this inside joke.

this is an ad from the hongkong government after the SARS period to remind the people of personal cleanliness. a little like our dengue ads over here. and the gambling will ruin your life ads.

and the slogan is "一比九十九 清潔好幫手". apparently, it was this special ratio which u shd use when mixing water and bleach.it is mild enough to clean your house and yet will kill all the SARS bacteria. and they played so often on tv, that it sort of got into our dear hongkong friends and started making fun of it. quoting this other guy "现在引伸为用来洗不干净的东西,如口臭。"

so for this scene, there is this guy who was angry with his neighbour and threw rubbish at her door. so they scolded him la and wanted him to clean up the place. with Dr.Koo adding 'Ah, Mr 廖, remember to use 1:99 bleach".

and now i know why the series of short films from hongkong during the SARS period is called 1:99 電影行動. i love this series of films, they are made by some of the really good directors in hongkong. like this one is from stephen chow. there was also the 1:99 音樂會 during the SARS period. these can be found on youtube too la.

okay.need to mug. after exams it's gonna be more tvb. yay. love their new hd format and 16:9 ratio. always loved japanese drama because the file size is always small but the quality is always good. and now tvb has joined them too.


jack wu from episode 3. he appeared in FH1 la. i remember him as the throw brick guy. and now he's here again. like lack of continuity? haha. and i read from wiki that FH2 has lai lok yi also. ahh.lack of continuity la. people complain the bad guy from 'the academy' reappeared in 'on the first beat'. please la. forensic heroes have even more la.


charles szeto from episode 2. haha. another bad thing abt hongkong films is that u can recognise all the calefares, small characters or famous actors cameoing. so i guessed he was the killer before i knew anything. because he is charles szeto la.


NGs from FH2. haha. bobby is still bobby.super funny.

i think another thing i like a lot abt FH is the cast. without the regular dose of lam fung ah, ron ng ah, michael miu ah. u know those who will confirm appear in blockbuster of the year kind of actors. FH feels really fresh. they use quite a lot of new actors and those actors that held supporting roles to do something bigger. eddie li and oscar leung as part of the CID team, frankie lam to lead, florence kwok, matthew ko and raymond cho [i love him as much as wayne lai]. so when they included kelvin cheng and charmaine sheh into part2 i was a little disappointed. yawn. big leads.
