Bonsoir Tigre | Hong Kong French Learning and French Culture Resource Platform
Did you know that the phrase「今晚打老虎」( “Tonight we fight the tiger”) , commonly used by people in Hong Kong, is actually a Cantonese phonetic transliteration of the French phrase “Comment allez-vous?” It means "How are you?" in French and is used as a greeting. This phrase appeared in Stephen Chow’s movie *God of Gamblers Part III: Back to Shanghai* as the French nickname of the character "God of Gamblers" (played by Stephen Chow)! The term「今晚打老虎」runs throughout the plot of *God of Gamblers Part III: Back to Shanghai*. Even though the movie never explains its meaning, it became widely popular, forming a collective memory among Hong Kong movie fans and serving as a small cultural link between the public and French culture.
