Another of the Old School indies that helped to establish the kung fu comedy genre, this scattershot effort stars Lau Kar-wing as bumbling conman Peking Dog, who seeks to learns the secrets of the trade from super thief Sting (Dean Shek Tien). The pair begin a lucrative partnership but may end up making even bigger money if Sting accepts an offer from his equally crooked brother (Karl Maka, who also directed) to eliminate notorious assassin Ping the Dreg (Chung Fat). The plan goes disastrously wrong, with the target escaping and Dog and Sting becoming separated. The youth finds a new master in the form of the aged but deadly Koo (Leung Kar-yan), whose teachings dramatically increase Dog's skills. However, a chance reunion with Sting leads to another encounter with The Dreg. |
