Mee Pok Man is a 1995 film by Eric Khoo. The film is Eric Khoo's debut feature, after making award-winning short films for years.
The film is a black comedy starring Joe Ng as the male protagonist Johnny, a Chinese seller of noodles (mee pok), and Michelle Goh as the prostitute Bunny. The film was given an "R(A)" rating in Singapore, restricting the movie audience to adults above 21, but after the change in censorship ratings in 2005, it was rated "M18" (18 and above).
The soundtrack album was released under BMG and featured the film score by Kevin Mathews and music by Singaporean acts including Padres (a band fronted by Joe Ng, the film's male lead actor) Opposition Party, Livonia, Etc and Sugarflies.

Gon to hys death-bedde,

I die; I comme; mie true love waytes.
Thos the damselle spake, and dyed.”
