That's how many cans Takeshi Kaneshiro ended up eating to shoot his scene. Wong Kar-Wai asked Kaneshiro what food he hated and when he replied "canned pineapple," that was the food chosen for his "self-torture" in that scene. There is a method to Kar-Wai's improvised madness, similar to Mike Leigh.
