Zui hou sheng li (1987)

Zui hou sheng li: Directed by Patrick Tam. With Eric Tsang, Tien-Lang Li, Loletta Lee, Hark Tsui. An affable guy gets more than he bargained more when he halfheartedly agrees to watch over the wife and the mistress of his incarcerated brother and gets trapped between the women in a love triangle – right before the parole hearing.

“Unfortunate that this routine HK gangsters u0026amp; gags piece re-surfaces because of the Wong Ka Wai connection when so many major films from the colonial industry have been ignored. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe orphans grown to become underworld figures come into conflict when the imprisoned heavy leaves his old friend in charge of both his mistresses. Hark and Tsang are so young looking with skilled comic Tsang working against type as a heroic juvenile who even gets to scoop up his love interest from a moving car in slow motion. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe coloured gel lit Hong Kong club scene is quite vivid but comedy is totally unfunny and at odds with the serious elements.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis one is an odd glimpse of major talents in their early years, of little interest to the English speaking market so often unfamiliar with their important films.”
