Traveling back in time to teenage me to tell her, if you're watching this for Aaron Kwok, forget it. For scheduling reasons he'll only show up for 5 mins.

This is one of the best HK action-comedies I have ever seen, even if it spends like half its runtime being a goofy high school comedy instead. It's a better Street Fighter movie than the actual Street Fighter movie!
I host a weekly movie stream for some like-minded HK trash aficionados and this is a collective favorite. We recently re-watched it on July 1 because that was the 30th anniversary of the date the time machine was set to.
(Also as a PSA, there's a Blu-Ray HD release of this floating around now.)
