Customer Reviews

Jacky Cheung + Stephen Chow madness
I really love this film. Not only do Cheung and Chow work well as a comic double act, fans of 80's style bloodshed and Canto-English madness will really enjoy this ragbag of a film. You should really try to get the original subtitled version - some of them are real corkers - "wow.. really big breasts.. She kills me!..". There is also a lot of english in the original canto version, mostly the F word. My favourite line has to be Chow - "F***.. F*** you Up!".. Much gwailo bashing and unnecessary tumbling and fliping. This film also features the Police Chief from Fight Back To School 1+2 and God Of Gamblers 3, the notorious "scissor-legs" who sends Chow to find his wallet this time. Eric Tsang makes a fletting appearance as a dodgy watch sales man and Blacky Ko, who also directs, plays the demented killer.

Not one of Stephen Chow's better films
Those of you looking for the sarcastic wit married with slapstick and physical humor you would expect from a Stephen Chow movie should move along, as there is nothing much to see here. Those familiar with Hong Kong cinema will expect disjointed storytelling, often seeming as if the entire movie was improvised. If you are fluent in Cantonese, you would be able to follow the dialogue. But if you are depending on the subtitles, be prepared to get only about 75% of what is going on.

All in all, an average movie, but seeing as how this is one of Chow's earlier works, a forgivable effort. It is a glimpse at Chow before he came into his own as an actor and director.
