Sing (Stephen Chow), who is a Mainland bumpkin and has supernatural powers, is exploited by his streetwise uncle (Ng Man Tat) to sweep stakes in the casino and finally wins the champion in the tournament of the King of Gamblers. Setting its background at social grass-roots class, this movie illustrates the desire of the common people to get rich without giving any efforts. This movie is a great joker with lots of japes, which also contains all the elements of various kinds of blockbusters. Comedy lovers should not miss this classic comedy of its time.

There are just so many great scenes here that it must amuse and maybe even kill you at times. Stephen Chow is simply cool, and the camera recognizes this and gives him plenty of space. I enjoyed him both in the humorous scenes and in the gambling ones, which often intertwined. The film isn't too serious, which is good.
