anyone can find clips of maggie cheung speaking french, if any? I'm very curious, especially since she'll be acting as a french woman in an upcoming film.

U may find the clip in Executioners, a sequel to Heroic Trio, originally released in 1993 as well.

The clip comes from Heroic Trio starring Maggie Cheung and Mechelle Yeoh in 1993, a classic Hong Kong kung-fu film with a surreal flavor.
