However, it was the phenomenal success of "Money No Enough" (1998) which eventually catapulted the nation's drive towards movie-making. Using a local crew of actors drawn from television comedies, this 'heartland' comedy written by Jack Neo used a smattering of Singlish and Hokkien to make a realistic, easily identifiable drama about everybody's quest to make a quick buck. Made with less than S$1 million, it raked in S$5,800,000, making it the most commercially profitable local film to date. It also demonstrated the viable potential of Singapore's film industry. The next year would be a boom year for local films. Eight Singaporean feature films were made in 1999 alone, the most notable being "" (starring Jack Neo in a reprisal of his television cross-gender role), "That One No Enough", the first directorial effect of Jack Neo, and "Eating Air", made by film critic Kelvin Tong and film editor Jasmine Ng on a budget of S$800,000. "Eating Air" did not break even; "That One No Enough" barely did and only "Liang Po Po: The Movie" continued the vein of commercial success of "Money No Enough", collecting S$3.03 million.
