Chunking Express and Fallen Angels. Fallen Angels is clearly made in the same world as Chungking Express, and has some similar story beats and themes, but the tone is much darker and sadder.

I believe these were originally supposed to be one movie, if I'm not mistaken both were shot during breaks while shooting Ashes of Time.

I think Tekashi Kaneshiro's character might be the same guy from Chungking, since he went mute from eating too much canned pineapples. But they left that up to your interpretation.

There's something about Chungking Express that reminds me of Cowboy Bebop but not the other way around. I wouldn't be surprised if Chungking Express had some kind of influence on Cowboy Bebop.
