| Gordon Chan and frequent collaborator Lawrence Cheng in an amusing manner gives us a comedy with suitable hints at Peter Seller's Inspector Jacques Clouseau of The Pink Panther films. Content being more subdued compared to other Hong Kong comedies, Inspector Pink Dragon therefore works better as it's entertaining without being aggravating. Cheng also perfectly anchors the film, filling the shoes to the T of a timid, cocky buy largely useless cop. Suitable menace crops up in Damian Lau's villainous performance as well, showcased the best during the end shootout (choreographed by Deon Lam and Tony Leung Siu Hung). This synch sound production also gives us a chance to for once hear Rosamund Kwan and Nina Li act. Waise Lee, Tony Leung Ka-Fai, Kenneth Tsang and Fruit Chan stops by as well. |
