Fitness Tour is a 1997 Hong Kong comedy-drama film.[1] [2] [3] Directed by Liu Guoquan, it stars Lydia Shum,, Gong Hanlin, and Jiang Qinqin. The film is in Cantonese and is 90 minutes long.[1]
Manager Hou is very wealthy, and he comes up with another idea to make money. He organized a weight loss tour which lets the fat man go to the tourist side of the Three Gorges River. There they can both go sightseeing and lose weight. He asks a beautiful girl, Jingjing, to be the leader, which attracts a lot of fat people. The guide QinQin gradually gets to know Hou's hypocrisy and cheating behavior, and stands up to protect the interests of customers. Hou finally admits his mistakes, and gets everyone's understanding. Finally, all members in the tour more or less lose weight, except Lydia from Hong Kong, who is still very fat and always keeps eating.[4]
According to Cross-Strait Magazine, the film did well at the box office and had an enthusiastic audience.[5] The Southern Metropolis Dailys Wuji Qiu included the film among a list of "low-quality domestic films that are tantamount to tofu-dreg projects".[6] Qiu said films like Fitness Tour did "a show of buffoon-like characters, unfunny lines, and vulgar performances".[6] Nanjing film critics included Fitness Tour on the "Ranking of Good and Bad Movies" .[6]
