I don't agree with the person who wrote the title as "just wow." His comment was written in 2002, unlike what he predicted, neither of the actors become famous. How does that title "mountain king" fit with this movie, I don't understand.
There are some questions that can't be answered. In the end, why did the hustler wear the straight guy's clothes, and the straight guy was forced to wear the hustler's clothes, then walk around the beach. And he had to wear a pair of dark purple speedo as his underwear. Does that suggest that he now becomes a hustler himself? Was it an isolated island, so if he ran out of money, he had to do that in order to make some money in order to leave the island? If so, how did he get to island at the first place? Why did the hustler take a boat, where was he heading to? And if the hustler broke into that beach house without permission, where did they get the food to eat for that night? If that hustler was indeed living at a friend's house, why did he leave the stranger alone in his friend's house? Cinematography was good. I especially like the part when they both were dancing with the music, and we can see the silhouette against the beautiful sunset.
