Pedicab Driver (1989)

Summary: One of Sammo's best.....
Generally considered to be Sammo Hung's finest accomplishment, this diversly mixed film set in the 1930's features all of Hung's trademarks set within a tightly edited storyline. Hung, Mok, and Meng star as a trio of lowly pedicab drivers who must face numerous trials and tribulations in their quests for love and adventure in post-war Macau. Featuring a finely textured screenplay which successfully combines comedy, drama, and action (penned by the late writer Barry Wong), along with some of the most fast paced and brutal martial arts choreography in recent memory (including a bout between Hung and Shaw Bro. vet Lau Kar-leung), this film is a classic in the HK cinema genre, and is one I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
