It's often said that love can conquer all, but can it bring together two young people divided by secret recipes? Audrey Chan (Lum May-yee) is the daughter of a family that has operated a diner in Singapore for several generations, zealously guarding their recipe for chicken and rice. The eatery's closest competitor is run by the Wong family, who have a rice dish of their own that they've made sure cannot be duplicated by others. Fenson (Pierre Png) is the scion of the Wongs and he's fallen in love with the beautiful but strong-willed Audrey. Audrey soon finds she's also attracted to Fenson, but can their romance overcome the bitter feud between the two rice shops? And what if one of the young lovers is just using the other to get at the secret of their tasty rice? Hauhap Gai Yun was written by Cheek (aka Cheah Chee-kong), who was previously the editorial director for MTV's Singapore affiliate. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

A renegade Korean submarine threatens to nuke Japan in this high-octane suspense drama. After getting court-martialed and sentenced to death for slaying a deranged superior officer, protagonist Lee Chan-suk (Cheong We-seong) finds himself sentenced to life on the Phantom, South Korean's first nuclear sub. Branded 431, Lee leaves port under the command of an old, hoary captain assigned to investigate reports that the Japanese are building their own nuclear sub. On the way, crazed first mate 202 kills the captain. Arguing that the desperate act is needed to restore Korean pride after a century of Japanese colonization and American exploitation, he plots to launch a nuclear strike against Japan. In order to accomplish his dastardly plans, however, he needs both launch keys, and one was entrusted to 431 by the captain just before he died. 431 prudently hides somewhere in the sub's bowels while 202 resolves to nuke Japan by any means necessary. Phantom, the Submarine was screened at the 1999 Pusan Film Festival. ~ Jonathan Crow, All Movie Guide
