| Made in 1986 before Chow Yun-Fat's breakthrough in A Better Tomorrow, this comedy involves two pretty stupid soccer players (Chow and Kenny Bee) trying to murder their wives (Anita Mui and Joey Wong). Not tasteless as such but incredibly unfunny and quite a chore to get through. The only mildly amusing moments are when Chow's character takes out his anger on any nearby plants. Other than that it's silly, stupid and typical Hong Kong comedy hysterics. The outtakes at the end are funnier than anything in the feature, which says a lot. It's great that Deltamac are re-releasing the Megastar catalogue but they should seriously considering firing their cover design department (who the hell is Aniya Mui anyway?). |
