East Meets West (2011 film)

East Meets West is a 2011 Hong Kong romantic comedy film directed by Daniel Chan and produced by John Chong. The film is a sequel to the 1993 film The Eagle Shooting Heroes, itself a parody of Louis Cha's The Legend of the Condor Heroes. However, East Meets West features a completely different story and characters, though it retains some of the original cast members in new roles.

The plot revolves around a group of individuals whose lives become intertwined through a series of comedic circumstances and mistaken identities, often referencing and parodying classic Hong Kong cinema tropes, particularly wuxia and kung fu films. The humor is largely slapstick and relies on exaggerated characters and situations. The film is known for its star-studded cast, featuring a mix of veteran actors and popular contemporary performers in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
