Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Behold, Wong Jing's directorial debut for Shaw Brothers... and it's as ridiculous as you'd expect a movie from Wong the schlockmeister to be.Wong Yue, the Shaws' response to Jimmy Wang Yu jumping ship from the studios, shows up in a modern-day film for once, as a slacker detective, Inspector Kwan, in 1980s Hong Kong. Investigating a series of murders, Wong ends up working alongside Master Thief and modern-day Robin Hood, Shi Ka-Lok (Patrick Tse) to take down a Yakuza leader (Chen Kuan-tai) and his army of ninjas (led by Michael Chan).What ensues is a series of ridiculous gags involving mahjong-playing robots (who cheats at games), jousting on jetpacks, yoyo-vs-nunchuck battles, freezing chamber of deaths, and stuff that barely makes sense, cobbled together in one incoherent (but still tolerably entertaining) mess of a film.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Incidentally, the film is released the same year as Aces Go Places. No surprise there, is it? | |
