STARRING: Nick Cheung
Stephen Fung
SYPNOSIS:
Nick Cheung
plays an unlucky bastard named Lee Ka-Sing (after Hong Kong real estate magnate Lee Ka-Sing), who brings bad luck to himself
and anyone who's nice to him. After a run of lousy luck puts Lee and pal Stanley Ho (Wyman Wong, who's also sporting an ironic
name) in the hospital, things start to look up. Lee meets angelic nurse Summer (new popsinger Mango Wong), who's one of those
patently unrealistic film characters. What that means is Summer is incredibly lovely, has a wonderful personality, and actually
finds a guy like Nick Cheung attractive. She's also unattached, which is another prime example of fiction at work. Summer
and Lee hit it off, but he's worried that his bad luck will affect her.
But, Lee's bad luck powers actually come in handy. Summer's Triad brother
Spring (Stephen Fung) puts Lee to use as a bad luck magnet in Macau, which screws the odds and allows them to make a bundle.
Unfortunately, this attracts the attention of evil bastard Brother 9 (Keung Ho-Man), who wants Lee to work for him. Also,
Summer is unhappy with Lee's new gambling occupation, which means that he may lose her. And, worst of all, someone else dubs
Stephen Fung's voice, which means he's the only character whose lips don't match his words. Oh, the horror!
