This is one of, if not the best sammo hung film I have seen. It is just so funny.
Sammo plays Courageous Cheung, the man who cant turn down a bet. He gets himself in trouble when his wife and her lover (sammos master) make a bet that they hope will kill him. Cue much slapstick kung-foolery and bizarre goings on. Such as Sammo's hand being possessed and trying to kill him.
The films climax though is the killer. In order to have enough strength to defeat his enemies Sammo and his wizard mate allow sammo to be possessed by the Monkey god (of MONKEY! Fame, but obviously not the same character. That would just be stupid). Sammo takes on the characteristics of a Monkey and kicks a lot of arse, including his wifes. Im not advocating spousal abuse, but when sammos wife comes crawling back, he gives her such a richly deserved thrashing you cant help but cheer!
