Can't believe I watched two shows at the same time, even during while working! A funny show but yet a very nicely directed show by Stephen Fung. It has lots of stars in the movie, cameos and the scripts are witty and funny. I kind of lost my hopes with Hong Kong movies since
Running Out of Time (1999) and
La Brassiere (2001) but this show has a lot of going:
- The real main boss-to-be is gay (3rd from right)
- The immitating boss-to-be isn't gay but has to admit he is (3rd from left)
- Complicated matters between Triads
- Triad bloodwork
- Love story between family (Romeo & Juliet-like story)
- A funny relationship between father and son (far right & far left)
- Stephen Fung (2nd from right) debut as a director of the movie
Basically there is to know about the movie. All were mixed and matched equally in the show till it produces a very nice flow of story. A definate must. Why I praised so much of the show is that most of the plot/flow are original. Although they do contain the pulp culture of Hong Kong society, it's nonetheless still original and doesn't try to imitate any new movies. Although there is a Matrix-like fighting scene, but hey, but who popularized kung-fu movies at the first place? At least it brings out the my faith back into the Hong Kong movies again.
