Review
by Kozo: |
Plot:Ng
Man-Tat’s search for a new Saint of Gamblers leads him to
God Bless You (Eric Kot), a super-powered yet unrefined Mainlander
whose wacky antics could destroy planets. Slimy gambler Ray
Thai (Lam Kwok-Bun) uses his tough-but-nice girlfriend (Chingmy
Yau) and her kung-fu brother (miniature martial arts dynamo
Sik Siu-Lung) to distract his enemies as he attempts wins
the World Gambling Contest. Also featuring Pang Dan as buxom
gambler Hokei and Donnie Yen as Lone Chat, Lone Ng’s brother
(That's Dragon Seven instead of Dragon Five. Get it?).
This new attempt at a gambling film
is messy and sporadically funny. Without either Stephen Chow
or Chow Yun-Fat, Wong Jing turns to Eric Kot. Uh...good luck.
The results are as you’d expect: plotless, gag-filled mayhem
with one comedy star to carry the whole shebang. Sadly, it
doesn’t work. Eric Kot tries to be funny, but he's so annoying
that the paint may peel from your walls. Not a keeper. (Kozo
1996) |
