This is another gambling action comedy, probably riding on the success of the God of Gamblers franchise, where Mainlander Nan (Carol 'Do Do' Cheng) moves to Hong Kong to earn a living by being a gambler and casino dealer. She meets up with her stuntman cousin Po (Aaron Kwok) and his horse-race gambler landlord Li (Alex Man) and together, the three try to make ends meet in the gambling world. However, they stumbled upon a plot where greedy investor Fu Hon-San (Man Tat Ng) swindled the shares of his gambler brother Fun Hon-Hwa (Simon Yam),and, as a result, the gamblers band together in attempts to topple Hon-San.

The acting wasn't bad. It was interesting seeing Alex Man star in a comedy; he has almost always been playing tough-guy, dramatic or serious roles in action movies. Carol Cheng does her usual comedic and sometimes overzealous humorous self, and teams up well with Aaron Kwok and Simon Yam. Plot is slow at times, but there are some good-old fashion action and card-playing schemes that were interesting to see. Overall, it's not a terribly bad film to pass the time with.

Grade C+

Another fun comedy in one of Hong Kong's most popular and favourite sub-genres, the gambling movie. Although gambling makes up the bulk of this one, particularly at the great climax, there's a lot of other stuff thrown into the mix, typically the kind of scattershot comedy that Hong Kong films of the era are known for; we even get Sibelle Hu along for the ride just to provide a couple of action scenes. The comedy is occasionally crude but generally works well, and Do Do Cheng is in her element, as likeable as ever. We get a great all-star supporting cast in this one too, including bad guy Man Tat Ng, Simon Yam, a youthful Aaron Kwok and a funny Alex Man. Spirited stuff!
