Kung fu comedy produced by Jackie Chan starring Lau Ga Yung, Lee Hoi San, and a guy I’ve never heard of before, Mang Chui. They are thieves, and as you can guess, they are after some gold, and spend the whole movie searching for it. It moves along at a decent pace, has some good comedy, and the story is interesting enough so that you won’t have trouble staying awake waiting for the next fight. The 3 leads give good performances, even this Mang Chui guy is competent performing the shapes choreography. And it's nice to see Lee Hoi San in a comedic lead role where he actually gets to show his fighting skills, unlike Fist and Guts.
This is not one of the most fight filled movies you will ever see, but to me there was plenty of fighting (around 20 minutes). Melvin Wong, Chu Tiet Wo, Wilson Tong and the 3 leads all get to properly display their skills. Fung Hak On’s character reminds me of the role he played in Legend of a Fighter, which made me think he was just going to have a goofy fight or 2, but it was a nice surprise to see him tear up the screen in the final fight. Easily one of the best fights of his career.
Rating- 7/10
