What it’s about. This is an extremely rare example of science fiction, Hong Kong style, but, fittingly, it's unlike any sci-fi flick you've ever seen. Alien abductions, suicide pacts, superstardom, and the reality of science fiction itself is spotlighted in this bright, crazy, truly out of this world epic -- one of the more unusual movies in the Hong Kong cinema of the early 1980s. And if you know 80's Hong Kong cinema at all, you know that's really saying something!

Who’s in it. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star stars James Yi Lui as Eden / Yi Tien, Cherie Chung as Li Tien Zhen / Li Tian-Zhen, David Lo Dai-Wai as Mr. Kuo / Mr. Kwok and Leung Tin as Dr. Lu, among others.
