Summary: 7/10-Harmless Fun
Another film showing Michael Hui doing what he does best-the battler prevailing against the odds and beating the rich. This time Hui is the owner of an old, run-down restaurant specializing in roast duck, and business dwindles when a fast-food restaurant called Danny's Fried Chicken opens on the other side of the street. Danny and Hui then battle it out with an assortment of weapons, including mascots, with Danny wanting to take over Hui's restaurant, while Hui wants to stay put.

I really liked how Hui's character eventually learns from his past mistakes, and how they've managed to capture the sheer dirtiness of old Chinese restaurants (have a walk into HK and you'll know what I mean). The cheesy ending was a bit of a let-down for me-I'm not really into those sorts of things-but aside from that, there's some hilarious jokes and you gotta love Hui Koon-Ying's performance.
