| FIGHT BACK TO SCHOOL. Starring - Stephen Chiao - Sharla Cheung - Ng Man Tat - Roy Cheung. Directed by - Gordon Chan. Fight Back To School sees Stephen Chiao and Ng Man Tat team up once again in this tale of Triads, guns and school! After a school visit to the local police station a pistol belonging to the chief is stolen. Not wanting to lose face the chief recruits Star Chow number 1 killer of the SDU. Chow must go undercover as a student at the school in order to crack the case. He is aided by the caretaker Uncle Tat, who turns out to be an undercover CID officer sent by the chief to help Chow. Their only lead is Johnny - head of the 4 Tigers of Mount Parker Triad group. A great comedy featuring the combined talents of Stephen Chiao and Ng Man Tat, both are on top form throughout as they bombard the viewer constantly with one liners and visual gags. The way Chow gets Grannie to help her grandson study is fantastic, and is a genuine technique that many may find useful ;) Behind the comedy is a basic plot revolving around the whereabouts of the chiefs pistol serving as a vehicle to give us some interesting action scenes where we get to see Chiao perform some above average martial arts, however apart from the films final sequence the action is very short. I would normally complain about this but on this occasion Fight Back To School stands up extremely well without these extra distractions. Gordan Chan delivers a great comedy in the first part of the FBTS series with great performances from Chiao, Tat, Roy Cheung as the dastardly villain and Shara Cheung as the obligatory love interest. 8********stars. School time fun! |
