First time ever Anita Yuen acted as an elder character, a good challenge for her during that time. Though not bad, but she can be better if she is given a new chance now. It was sad when i watch it many years ago, now i feel very touching after rewatch it almost 20 years later... I miss my parents :(

L² Comment:

This movie definitely ran out from the original fiction of Gu Long and it was criticized badly by Gu Long's fans during that time... For me, this is just so so, comedy part also very predictable. A lot of the original characters were changed to female version and ... well... i'm kinda speechless after watching it...

Missed this classic movie during the 90s... even though Bridget Lin is actually 7 years elder than Andy Lau, but it did not feel weird when both of them acted as a couple~ Bridget is the hottest actress during that time, nobody can look better than her when she wear a man clothes~ Of course the original fiction is not correctly shown in this movie as the gender of More should be a guy instead of a woman~ And lots lots lots stories were also amended as well...

When he arrives in Hong Kong, he meets Siu Kam, who proposes to help him in his endeavor. However, Siu Kam turns out to be a subordinate of Golden Gun. Golden Gun is in actuality the government official who directs Chow to find the cranium.

Golden Gun instructs Siu Kam to send 007 on a false lead and tells him that the cranium may have been stolen by a smuggler. 007, with the help of Siu Kam, sneaks into a cocktail party held by the smuggler. Before he enters, he tells Siu Kam that he will fetch her some white roses. Siu Kam tells 007 to find evidence that the smuggler stole the cranium; meanwhile, Kam hides in a tree, planning to snipe 007 from afar. The party is interrupted by a mysterious man (modeled after Jaws from James Bond) and a mysterious woman who are out to kill 007. Taking this opportunity, Siu Kam shoots Chow several times, including once in the leg with 007 thinking another assassin has shot him. 007 (who was wearing a bulletproof vest but not bulletproof trousers) escapes, grabbing three white roses on the way out. Siu Kam is touched by this gesture and saves his life. She decides to defect from Golden Gun. Together, the two destroy the organization that is behind the theft of the cranium. Chow wins over Yuen and is rewarded with a meat cleaver emblazoned with the calligraphy of Deng Xiaoping.

 Usually for Stephen Chow movie, i will rate it in kinda high score, but for this parody comedy, a 6 is more than enough. Though its on the top 2 of HK blockbuster in 1994, but i just feel like the storyline is not funny enough, and Anita Yuen is not funny enough, if compared to her other movies...

Overall the movie is ok, the story is simple but too much celebrities make a mess. The story keep on showing these various artist instead of their act. I kinda like Bernice Liu (廖碧兒) & Joyce Cheng (鄭欣宜) performance. Bernice's character is very funny with her bulky bodyshape and her big teeth sticking out from her mouth; whereas Joyce took over the character which her mother (Lydia Sum) has acted before in 1973.
