Mermaid Got Married

Mermaid Got Married (人魚傳說) is a 1994 Hong Kong romantic comedy fantasy film directed by Norman Law, starring Ekin Cheng, Christy Chung and Takeshi Kaneshiro.

Based on the 1984 American film Splash, the plot involves a mermaid who travels onto land and falls in love with a human man.

Despite his attempts to be professional, he is aggressively flirted with by Kiki (Teresa Mak), a popular girl who has the nickname "Princess".

After this encounter, Miss Yuen becomes obsessed with finding and catching this "big fish", enlisting the school's principal (Kent Cheng) and other friends to her cause.

After a dinner date together eating clams, Siu-may gets the chance, but she is so caught up with her new feelings for Chi that she forgets to summon the pearl.

Chi falls down in shock, and at that moment Miss Yuen and her colleagues run in and capture Siu-may, carrying her away.

Afterward, Miss Yuen, the principal and the rest of their group follow Chi around in the hopes of finding Siu-may again.

The principal takes a hose from a nearby gardener and starts spraying the new girl, but she doesn't transform into a mermaid, much to their confusion.
