Summary: Anita Lee Yuen Wah - the perfect mistress

Anita Lee Yuen Wah was the greatest asset in this movie. Anita Lee as Mona acted as the beautiful mistress of bad guy lau. A bond girl style who got lots of secret admirer, frequent Casinos and real bitch. In the movie, she was rated up to 99.999% perfection based on her looks, body, sex appeal, etc.

The only sad part was, she was killed innocently.

Summary: A Low-Brow Exchange

A pretty amusing parody of "Prison On Fire" and gambling films. Lots of the humour is quite low-brow and especially involving the penis, ie Tony Leung and his revolving appendage. Speaking of Tony Leung, he was wonderful as the rather slimy prison guard, in a nice contrast to the serious scholarly type he often portrays. It was also nice to see Kwan Hoi-San bash the crap out of someone. The film drags a little in the middle but is otherwise fine, entertaining and dirty viewing, with a spectacular car chase and explosions to boot. 7.5/10

Summary: very funny movie, goofy but good plot

Mindy Chan (Andy Lau) is a top-notched gambler/swindler. His girlfriend Lily (Christy Chung) and friend Ah Chi are card dealers at the casino where bad guy Lau and his mistress Mona (Anita Lee) frequent. Chor Hung (Tony Leung Ka-Fai), a play on the Chinese name for famed retired actress Cherie Chung, is a senior security guard at the local prison. During a card game, Ah Chi and Mindy swindle millions of dollars from Lau, but they are caught. Lau makes a deal with Mindy - in exchange for Ah Chi (who had been kidnapped), Mindy needs to go to prison and find out where a guy named Robinson (Kwan Hoi-San) has hidden $3 billion dollars worth of bonds.

The movie has many hilarious scenes in it, similar to Sting 1. Most notable are the idiotic acts that Chor Hung gets involved with, especially with his penis. It's sad to think that this movie was only 8 years ago, right during the Golden Age of HK movies, where there were a lot of fun and entertaining movies. Sigh, this movie didn't even crack the top 15 in HK box office for 1993, yet if this movie were to be made today, it probably would be in the top 2 or 3 for box office the year.

Summary: NULL

Evil millionaire Lau gets very pissed when a clever poker player (Andy Lau) swindles him out of millions. As retribution, he puts the gambler into jail to become chums with an enemy and find out about a secret cache of bonds. From here on, it's a madcap comedy as only HK can do. A prison guard (Leung Ka Fai) wants to get girls, but instead gets his penis pounded by strongmen at a health club, and later chewed by an iguana. A computer that knows everything in the world prescribes penis-lifting exercises (with bar-bells), until the guard finally gains complete penile mobility, and can even piss like a fountain without using his hands. He has a date with the gangster's mistress, our inmate heroes escape, the guard double-crosses for the money but gets framed, the gambler's girlfriend dresses like the mistress to pull a con...

(3/4)
