Director: Stephen Chow
Cast: Stephen Chow, Xiaogang Feng, Wah Yuen, Zhi Hua Dong, Kwok-Kwan Chan
An acrobatic kung fu comedy about a wannabe gangster who is caught in a turf war between a violent gang and the local slum. There are amazing fight scenes and hilarious sight gags galore, but it all becomes a bit overwhelming towards the end, especially when the sketchy characters don't offer any kind of emotional counterbalance to the stunts.
