Trouble Maker (film)

Trouble Maker (Chinese: 蠟筆小小生; Jyutping: Laap but siu siu sang) is a 1995 joint Taiwan and Hong Kong romance comedy film directed by Taiwanese director Kevin Chu and produced by Hong Kong director Wong Jing.

The movie was renamed and dubbed in Cantonese for all the Taiwanese actors to cater to the Hong Kong audiences.

Siao San (Steven Hao Shao Wen) is a mischievous little boy from a well off family, but he feels neglected by his father because of his marriage to a younger woman.

Tat (Ng Man-tat) is a middle-aged High School grounds keeper who has a crush on a blind floral girl (Athena Chu).

He takes advantage of her blindness by pretending to be a rich man who often buys her flowers only to give it back to her as a gift.

One day while at the park, Tat is hit with a bat by a woman chasing San for stealing candy from a baby.

He learns that surgery costing HKD 500,000 is required in order for her to see, which she works effortlessly to sell her flowers.

Though Jane continues to ignore him, she acknowledges what he had done for her, after which he spontaneously tells her that he was Bruce Lee in his past life.

Although Jane and Mo ends being closer, Tat is fired from his teaching position by aiding in the fight and he loses the bonus to help the blind girl in her surgery.

After giving the stolen money to the blind girl, Tat returns to confess his crimes to San's father and promises to pay them back.

Noticeable places in the movie are the "Shangri La Far Eastern Plaza Hotel", "The Mall", and "Daan Forest Park".
