“If he studies hard, he could be a doctor or a lawyer.” the landlord said.

I was kind of wondering what kind of movie this was going to be. At first I thought it was a movie about the bad guys winning. It definately wasn’t about the Axe Gang taking over everything.

I also wondered if the movie was a romance between different characters, Also wrong.

Do you want the real plot? Here you go…When the hapless Sing (Stephen Chow) and his dim-witted pal, Bone (Feng Xiaogang), try to scam the residents of Pig Sty Alley into thinking they’re members of the dreaded Axe Gang, the real gangsters descend on this Shanghai slum to restore their fearsome reputation. What gang leader Brother Sum (Chan Kwok-kwan) doesn’t know is that three legendary retired kung fu masters (Yu Xing, Dong Zhihua, Chiu Chi-ling) live anonymously in this decrepit neighborhood and don’t take kindly to interlopers.

The director was Stephen Chow and the soundtrack was composed by  Stephen Chow, Raymond Wong, Luo Zong Xian, and Hang Yi.

You can find the soundtrack on Amazon.
