A very nice pie fight erupts in the Hong Kong movie The Millionaire Chase (1969). It's one of the few mainstream pie fights where women get pied more than men (5 vs 3). The actors, in the order in which they were first hit, are: Helen Ma Hoi-Lun, Angela Yu Chien, Fan Ho, Lily Ho Li-Li, Betty Ting Pei, Peter Chen Ho, Chin Ping and the "restaurant manager" (an unknown actor).
There are some trailers on YT showing parts of the fight but the whole movie is nowhere to be found online. I've thus uploaded the dvd version and added English subtitles. I suggest you read them, it's quite funny.
Great fiind. Nice to see they are restoring these vintage HK films now to DVD quality.
FYI Betty Ting Pei was a prolific Taiwanese film actress who made over 50 films. Sadly she will always be known as the last person to ever see Bruce Lee alive, because she was in his hotel room when he complained of a headache so she gave him a strong version of aspirin and left the room. Hours later when she found him she could not revive him and called an ambulence. Bruce died and the autopsy showed he died of an allergic reaction to that medication that caused a brain edema. Many fans blamed Betty for his death, but then there were many other conspiracy theories as well.

Well, not exactly. The original resolution is 718x270p. I upscaled it (to 1920x960p) to ensure that Youtube doesn't mess it up during their upload re-encoding. I don't think the movie has ever been remastered.
This is awesome! Great setups, decent coverage. Not as messy as I like, but great hits to the face, thanks for sharing! I would love to host a huge pie fight someday. Just rent out an entire restaurant and fill it with pies. SIGH. When I win the lottery.

wow this is one of the best set ups for a messy script I've seen so far. Also I'm just enamored with the glamour of this era. I've been trying to coax Vika into redoing the wetlook scene in "The Irony of Fate"
Love you, too
I wonder how many more there are like this out there just waiting to be discovered.
