tsu (shing fui-on) is a cop, who lives with his heavily pregnant wife, chu (pauline wong), and power steering (tse wai-kit); a young rapscallion, who tsu has taken under his wing, as he killed his father many years ago. when tsu tries to foil a bank raid, he ends up getting beaten, shot, crushed and killed. luckily for him, though, a cat sits on his chest and he gets struck by lightening: a sure-fire recipe for being brought back to life...

now, tsu has to work with power steering and gucci (gloria yip), a young lady who was held hostage by the robbers, but managed to escape with their haul, in order to catch the criminals, all the time disguising the fact that he is dead from his wife. it's gonna be a tough couple of days...

well, with a synopsis like that, who wouldn't want to see this? especially as perennial bit-parter shing fui-on is actually the main lead. a rarity indeed. then, there's the 'yip factor': not only is there a cameo from the top-heavy, cat III star; amy, but the rather adorable gloria is also present.

the narrative is as batty as it sounds; mixing touches of cop action, with drama, horror and a large dose of humour. it is fantastically entertaining in its execution, with everyone involved having a blast. oh, and there's also a hilariously unsavoury joke about sex during pregnancy, which made me hoot with laughter.

super fun...
