karl maka directs, produces and even has a supporting role in this fun comedy. dean shek, at his lanky, weird and boggle-eyed best, plays skinny; a scheming con-man who has been employed to track down flower kid, a robin hood-esque character who steals from the rich and gives to the poor. along his way, he teams up with fatso (sammo hung), a man who is inspired by flower kid's actions and immitates them, albeit at a lower level. when skinny and fatso meet up with flower kid, the plot thickens...

this is a fun, if at times, slightly confusing film; i'm sure a couple of badly translated lines throw you off track, but everything becomes apparent soon enough. shek and hung make a good comedy pairing and as the film progresses, there's a few fights (a big one at the end, of course) that are pretty damn good. there's a great cameo from eric tsang, as some kind of gunfighter...

good fun.
