Film Main Info

DIRECTOR CLEMENT CHENG will introduce the film & hold a Q&A session after the film.

Shaw brothers legends Leung Siu Lung and Chen Kuan Tai reunite for this modern day kung-fu action comedy.

Cheung (Wong Yau Nam) is a loser working at an estate agent and sidelined by his boss to a remote part of Hong Kong to deal with a property issue there.

It turns out that the property that Cheung has been sent to deal with is a tea house run by two aging kung fu fighters (Leung Siu Lung and Chen Kuan Tai), who have converted their masters kung fu school into a tea house. Their master, meanwhile, has been lying in a coma for 20 years, and they have loyally remained on the premises to attend to him, waiting for the day he will awake.

The local gangs also want a piece of the valuable property (rapper M.C. Jin here in a brilliant turn as one of the bullies) and challenge the tea house owners to a tournament with the property as the stake.

A hilarious, and at times touching, action comedy that is a nostalgic echo of 70s kung fu action films.
