Stephen
Chow is funny, but the gangster life is not in this irresponsible
mixture of triad bloodshed and wacky comedy. |

Review
by Kozo: |
Mystifying
combination of a triad saga and wacky comic antics. Stephen
Chow stars as a lovable waiter who reads gangster comics and
dreams of the heroic bloodshed life. His chance comes when
he saves a mob boss and joins the triad. Joining him are Wilson
Lam as the Chow Yun-Fat clone, and Ann Bridgewater as the
obligatory moll.
Even though he's surrounded by cold-hearted
criminals and killers, Chow still remains lovable - mostly
because he gets to be a triad without killing a single person.
Amazingly, he rises up the triad ladder without doing anything
truly objectionable, though his buddies do their share of
evil things. Eventually, we must come to terms with the reality
of the triad life, i.e. it basically sucks. The film's indictment
of the triad life would be welcome, if not for the fact that
90% of the film is your standard "being a triad is cool"
HK film. Ultimately, the wackiness seems way out-of-place
among the blood and bullets. Stephen Chow turns in a charismatic
comic performance, but he - and his character - belong in
another movie. Like a good one. (Kozo 1996/1998) |
