a5c7b9f00b After police officer Paio is murdered, his soul cannot be at rest for his murder has been written off as a suicide. Therefore the heavens send him back to Earth as a spirit to find his 'savior' who will help him clear his name. Hsing, a rookie officer, is the savior and in return for finding Paio's killer, Piao must get him a girlfriend and a promotion.
Hong Kong funnyman Stephen Chow plays Hsing, a police rookie who has been visited by the ghost of murdered police officer Paio (Bill Tung). His soul cannot be at rest because his death has been written off as a suicide; therefore, he asks Hsing to help him avenges his death in return for finding him a girlfriend and a promotion.<br/><br/>The plot seemed intriguing with the murdered cop/wandering ghost device. However, the somewhat nonsensical comedy and humor overshadows the ghost elements, focusing too much on Hsing trying to court his superior Chin's (Shui-Fan Fung) daughter and Chin attempting to master Taoist magic. There are very little surprises and twists to the story and many silly, nonsensical humor, from Hsing's taking down a bunch of thugs with a flying bullet to Hsing and Chin creating an anecdote with gross ingredients to save Hsing's soul.<br/><br/>However, the acting wasn't bad and you would get a few laughs out of the movie, especially in the part when Chin finds out Hsing is dating his daughter. There are also some nice action sequences, including the ghost vs. wizard scene.<br/><br/>It's not the best HK ghost-comedy out there, but it's worth the watch.<br/><br/>Grade B-
Classic Mo Lei Tau! This film is also known as Shaolin Idiot...<br/><br/>This is an extremely funny film and a must see for die hard Stephen Chow fans. You might say for his early work this is some of his funniest. The story is quite random and full of ghosts, super powers, fart jokes, and Bruce Lee Spoofing. The comical overacting and slap stick chaos make this movie special.<br/><br/>At one point Stephen Chow kisses his girlfriends father while under a magical spell...in another scene he urinates on a gun which is really the ghost of a dead cop. Really funny stuff. For such a tiny budget film the scope of the story is fantastical.<br/><br/>Its easy to understand the success of Stephen Chow's other projects after one has seen his bizarre and hilarious beginnings.
