About Rob N Roll Movie
Rob N Roll is a Hong Kong action comedy film produced by Derek Yee and directed by Albert Mak. The film stars Aaron Kwok, Gordon Lam, Richie Jen, Maggie Cheung Ho-yee, and Lam Suet.
News of the project first emerged in April 2021 when the Film Production Financing Scheme of the Hong Kong Film Development Fund approved HK$8.4 million for the film, with Albert Mak attached as director and Gordon Lam and Stephy Tang set to star. On October 27, 2021, Aaron Kwok confirmed that he would play a robber alongside Lam and Richie Jen.
Principal photography began in November 2021. On November 12, a robbery and vehicular crash scene was filmed in Temple Street, Hong Kong, featuring Kwok, Maggie Cheung Ho-yee, and Calvert Fu. Kwok revealed a bucktoothed look for his character.
On December 20, a firearm shootout scene was filmed at the Kwai Tsing Container Terminals. Kwok explained that his bucktoothed look was his own idea after noticing black comedy elements in the script, and he also wore a cauliflower ear prosthetic as his character is a professional wrestler. Lam revealed a long-haired look as a taxi driver, while Jen sported a grizzled appearance with a gray wig. Cheung mentioned that this would be her first time firing a gun on screen. Nancy Wu shared details about her role as Lam’s wife, who frequently argues with her mother-in-law, played by Paw Hee-ching. David Chiang, who appears alongside his son John Chiang Jr., noted that he was unaware his half-brother Derek Yee was producing the film until after his son was cast.
