Gui ma zhi duo xing (1981)

Gui ma zhi duo xing: Directed by Hark Tsui. With George Lam, Teddy Robin Kwan, Karl Maka, Kee-chan Tang. A private investigator and a police inspector team up to pursue a notorious mobster, who is plotting to milk an old millionaire out of his highly-valued stocks and bonds. Along the way, the investigator crosses paths with a femme fatale and silly gangsters.

“This film stars George Lam and Teddy Robin Kwan as a private investigator and a police detective, assigned to prevent a notorious gangster from taking money and stocks from an old millionaire. Along the way, they meet some off-the-wall characters like femme fatales and slapstick gangsters. Made in the style of film noir, the story is set in Hong Kong, circa 1930s-40s. Although the cinematography is good and gives you an old-Chicago-mobster like atmosphere, the story is pretty boring and acting is sub-par. Slapstick and childish humor from the supporting and extra characters try to help to make this into an enjoyable comedy, but, unfortunately, they didnu0026#39;t deliver an exciting movie. Therefore, I prefer to watch this filmu0026#39;s sequel, the more funny and intriguing All The Wrong Spies, over this one.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eGrade D-“
