Summary: very funny movie, goofy but good plot
Mindy Chan (Andy Lau) is a top-notched gambler/swindler. His girlfriend Lily (Christy Chung) and friend Ah Chi are card dealers at the casino where bad guy Lau and his mistress Mona (Anita Lee) frequent. Chor Hung (Tony Leung Ka-Fai), a play on the Chinese name for famed retired actress Cherie Chung, is a senior security guard at the local prison. During a card game, Ah Chi and Mindy swindle millions of dollars from Lau, but they are caught. Lau makes a deal with Mindy - in exchange for Ah Chi (who had been kidnapped), Mindy needs to go to prison and find out where a guy named Robinson (Kwan Hoi-San) has hidden $3 billion dollars worth of bonds.

The movie has many hilarious scenes in it, similar to Sting 1. Most notable are the idiotic acts that Chor Hung gets involved with, especially with his penis. It's sad to think that this movie was only 8 years ago, right during the Golden Age of HK movies, where there were a lot of fun and entertaining movies. Sigh, this movie didn't even crack the top 15 in HK box office for 1993, yet if this movie were to be made today, it probably would be in the top 2 or 3 for box office the year.
