| VERY funny film. Pretty average set-up, but the talented actors make it great.
Tony Leung Kar Fai is one of my favorite actors. Not only is he the most beautiful man ever put on this earth, but he has to be one of the most versatile performers going.
In this film he is the "King of Gigolo Karaoke". He shines in one of his most outrageous and hysterically over-the-top roles.
He is paired with a very straight laced police woman (played by Brigitte Lin, the eldest of three daughters of a "dieing" father, played by Richard Ng). The accompanying antics are priceless.
The second daughter (Maggie Cheung) is an innocent sweetie pie who brings home a Triad youth played by the strange and wonderful Jacky Cheung. He is attempting to kill off her police woman sister for his gang.
Third sister is a doctor (Chingmy Yau) who's lady patient is trying to set doc up with her handsome, virgin son (Ekin Cheng in a role where he actually shows emotion!). The doctor isn't having any of it until she meets the young man at the gym and he mistakes her for a hooker.
If this sounds goofy, it is! And it just gets better from here.
Perennial bad guy, Ken Lo, is on hand as a despicable "tough", and heart throb Jimmy Lin is the girl's younger brother, who doesn't have much to do but look cute.
You need to see it to appreciate the slapstick humor, but don't miss it! Keep an eye out for Jacky Cheung's gang in the Triad Olympics and the wonderful skits by my fave Tony Leung KF as a karaoke hula dancer, suave gunman, Bruce Lee wannabe and singer of the incredible Bowling Song!
Urinate before the film.you might have an accident laughing! |
