And you might had like the slapstick comedy and might love the characters Landlord and Landlord Lady.
More of Yuan Qiu and Yuan Hua???
Why not?
You might had caught an episode of Square Pegs (or you got the whole VCD set). You loved Roger Kwok's Ah Wang.
More of Ah Wang??
Why not?
What about Mahjong???....Wait.
I don't think anyone can get sick of that. (Although Your's Truly never played mahjong in his whole life and so absolutely clueless and CMI in mahjong)
And so Wong Jin made another movie on gambling.
Let's take a look at the basic plot frame......
Gambler lost quite a bit to a Gambling Czar.
Tournament.
Gambler won.
That's essential for almost all gambling movie. Somehow most gambling comedy will go in that direction.
Hey did I just made a spoiler for the movie even before I talk about it???
Anyway the plot is simple. Small time professional gambler/conman Zi Mo See (Yuan Hua) found Ah Wang (Roger Kwok), a waiter with fantastic memory while evading loansharks. See wants to make use of Ah Wang to get rich. There's only one obstacle.....Lady Boss (Yuan Qiu).
Put Zi Mo Si and Lady Boss together....ya...it will be like exactly what happened in Kungfu Hustle. See took Wang under his wing and encourage Wang to woo Cheryl (Theresa of the Cookies). Unfortunately Cheryl is the mistress to Boss Tian Jiu (Wong Jin). In a state misunderstanding, they exposed the affairs and Wang was beaten up till he becomes an idiot like a la Square Peg.The rest goes like cinematic formulae (clinches) of Wong Jin.
Nothing innovative but nevertheless entertaining. Gag wise, there are still the usual Misses but there are still some which you will chuckled but none really made one crack up. It's bad but not as bad as some of the movies Twins (or one of them) are in.
Here's some screencaps of an unexpected Cutey (Theresa) that appeared in the movie.
I liked the part whereby Cheryl becomes a hooker after their cover is blown and spotted by Wang. The part was handle so well and I was shocked when she jumped to her death.
Wang stood by the side and ate all the noodles he was supposed to deliver.
