The Saint Of Gamblers (Stephen Chow) travels back in time to 1930s Shanghai, bumping into his Uncle's parents and famed gangster Ding Lik (Ray Lui). His only hope to get back to the present is communication with the present...through a cell phone!

The character of Ding Lik will mean a whole lot more to Asian audiences as Ray Lui played him in the successful series The Bund (the show also made a TV-star out of Chow Yun-Fat) and combined with its Back To The Future storyline, Wong Jing sets the stage for his parodies and referencing of various aspects of the show. Not to worry however, us Westerners are still part of much of the silly antics on display and while not as thick on gags, God Of Gamblers Part III: Back To Shanghai greatly entertains. Wong Jing once again lies mostly low and lets Stephen Chow and Ng Man Tat run the show. The production is also infused with much professionalism design-wise, all wonderfully captured by cinematographer Peter Pau. Mainland starlet Gong Li also went on to co-star with Chow in Flirting Scholar.
