"The Last Dance" to screen extended version in Malaysia in April

10 Mar - If you have loved the Michael Hui and Dayo Wong-starrer, "The Last Dance", you may be happy to know that the film's extended version will be released in Malaysia on 4 April.

After creating a phenomenal effect in Asia, director Anselm Chan mentioned that an extended version would be released, and the audience has been looking forward to the release of the movie.

On 6 March, the Malaysian distributor finally announced that the extended version of "The Last Dance" will be released simultaneously with Hong Kong.

The film has made RM17.8 million in Malaysia

It was revealed that the length of the film will be extended by 20 minutes, mainly to make up for the scenes with Kaki Sham and Vincent Kok, as well as a scene involving Catherine Chau and Dayo Wong. In addition, there are one or two scenes of Michelle Wai that the director likes very much and will consider adding them.

The original plot did not explain Dayo Wong's character's family background, which will be added into the extended version.

"The Last Dance" previously became a big hit in Malaysia, grossing RM17.8 million when it was released in November last year. It also became the highest grossing Hong Kong movie with HKD 160 million.

In addition to numerous awards, the movie has also won multiple accolades including the 16th Golden Lotus Awards, the 39th Huading Awards, the 61st Asia Pacific Film Festival, as well as 18 nominations at the 43rd Hong Kong Film Awards.
