Stephen Chow became a bonafide superstar with this parody of the successful God Of Gamblers-franchise. He plays the Saint of Gamblers and must with his supernatural powers save the day at the tables. Chow's trademark humour is very much on display with highlights such as the parody of the famous entrance scene from God Of Gamblers.Corey Yuen's action directing gives Stephen a chance to show a few moves as well. This movie has more untranslatable Cantonese humour than later Stephen Chow projects and that may lessen the experience a little for westerners. It did for me but All For The Winner is still worth tracking down...

...on dvd finally! Mei Ah realized their blunder in the exclusion of footage of the first remastered pressing and have now put out a new version (with a different cover showing only Chow) that reinstates the film to its full length.
