Paper Marriage

Paper Marriage (Chinese: 過埠新娘; Jyutping: Gwo3 Fau6 San1 Neong2) is a 1988 Hong Kong action comedy film directed and co-written by Alfred Cheung, and starring Sammo Hung and Maggie Cheung.

In the United States, a down-on-his-luck Chinese boxer named Bo Chin accepts promise of payment to marry a Hong Kong woman named Jade Lee so she can get American citizenship.

They realize too late that they have been set up in a complicated plan to cheat them out of the woman's money.

Their adventures begin when Bo is forced back into the boxing ring and Jade tries her hand at mud wrestling.

Although Paper Marriage is set in Los Angeles, California, the film was shot in Edmonton, Alberta.
