Customer Reviews

Not one of Sammo Hung's best comedies, but not bad3
Sammo's character is not much of a fighter in this movie. He plays a cowardly police officer who plays the tuba for the police force's marching band. David Chiang plays the tough cop and needs someone who doesn't look or act like a cop to go undercover for him. Jacky Cheung plays Sammo's friend and recommends him for the job. It is a money exchange and David Chiang ends up dying at the hands of the villains. Sammo promises to avenge his death, but then decides against it since he is a weakling. So Chiang's ghost starts to haunt Sammo and forces him to take revenge.

A lot of the comedy is good, but I found the comedy with Chiang's ghost very lame. The story is decent, and like most Sammo movies, there are a couple of moments that will have you laughing really hard.

There is not too much action to speak of. Some cool stunts here and there, but you have to wait until the end for the 2 main fight scenes. Hwang Jang Lee shows up and gives Sammo a serious beat down. His kicks have never looked better. Unfortunately, the way he gets beat is not very satisfying. I don't want to give it away, but prepare to be disappointed.

This is not a bad movie, but it could have been so much better.

3/5

The Universe DVD has very good picture quality and the subtitles are written wll enough.
