| Cousin Big (Richard Ng) returns home from the UK in order to find a wife and settle down. He has previously driven out his illegal immigrant friend Ma (Wu Ma) from the UK and the scores aren't settled. That is all cast aside when not only one, not two but three ghosts are to be dealt with and one is Cousin Big who has fallen in love with one of the ghosts (Wong Man-Si)...
Uneven and unscripted, Wu Ma keeps up a solid pace to make up for that and uses the genius Richard Ng well. Part of the dark and at times gross sight gags, Ng plays his confused self by simply being Richard Ng. That's all some of us need. Wu Ma also lovingly re-creates a scene from Mr. Vampire, gives the Ray Parker Jr. theme from Ghostbusters a showcase, all wrapped in an 80s package with more than enough light charm to overcome obvious flaws. Also with Kenny Bee, Tai Po, Mang Hoi, Teddy Yip, James Tien and Sai Gwa-Paau. |
