Finally the three buddies decided to try their luck at Mongkok area where they became accidental wrestling stars after defeating an American wrestler unintentionally. Their wrestling match took center-stage when the wrestler and its decided to have a re-match against the trio with a purse money enough to fulfill their dreams.
Review:
I accidentally watch this movie on an airplane and all i can say is that it is a very funny and it pokes fun and taking pot shot whenever they can towards HK administration. Out of the trio, Wong Cho Lam and Louis Yuen stole most of the show while Johnson Lee is a pale figure among the whole gang. The comedy is spread evenly throughout the movie and there wasn't really a boring moment in this movie. The comedy escalate when the trio worked as a part-time cast in a Laughing Gor movie. Michael Tse playing his most famous character as Gor hits the tickle bones whenever his character is on-screen and i wish that there is more screen time focus on him. The rest of the gangs are quite okay but the comedy level decreases towards the end but overall it was an enjoying moments
Verdict:
I give this a 3.5 star over 5 for its over the top, nonsense comedic fun factor.
