It's a Drink! It's a Bomb! (1985)

The first thing I have to say is-THE MUSIC IS ATROCIOUS! God, that HORRIBLE, CHEESY circus music! The only saving grace audio-wise is George Lam's song about three-quarters of the way through.

Apart from that, a pretty silly, feel-good, comedy. Basically your typical mid-80s fare. Who cares about the plot? That's in the way of the main idea of the film: to have a lot of fun, and it definitely seems the cast members had a great time filming this. A young Maggie Cheung is charmingly annoying, I suppose, while George Lam is his usual solid self.

And John Sham? There are times when I wished he would speak normally, as opposed to the country hick accent he adopts for most films. He actually can speak quite nicely. But in his defence, he's not THAT annoying. His character reminds me of a hyperactive labrador puppy. Just imagine him like that and you'll be fine. 6/10
