It's the second hit from the Pang Brothers! When Oxide Pang's Abnormal Beauty was released in the cinemas, twin brother Danny Pang's black comedy Leave Me Alone was also released. Both are Thai productions, with many thrilling action sequences, from a mass brawl, to a car chase on a freeway, to explosions...it's all here!

Man and Kit (both played by Ekin Cheng) are identical twins who were separated at the age of 8 when their parents divorced. Man, the younger twin, stayed with his mother in Hong Kong while Kit moved to Thailand with his father. From then on they lived their own lives, never once telling others of the existence of the other twin.

When they are in their twenties, Kit returns to Hong Kong to visit Man, and they immediately become close brothers, telling each other of their lives. Suddenly, Kit wants to borrow Man's car, but because he has no Hong Kong license Man lends his own license to his brother. They thought it would be fun to swap identities, but what they didn't expect was that they couldn't switch back!

Ekin tackles the challenge of playing a pair of twins with completely different personalities: a tough, straight older brother and a gentle, gay younger brother. This comedy of mistaken identities is convincingly held together by Ekin's performance and scene-stealing cameos from Jan Lam, who plays Ekin's ex-boyfriend, and Dayo Wong Chi Wah as the boss of the triads! Leave Me Alone is chosen to participate in the Tokyo Film Festival in 2004 as part of the Winds of Asia competition.
