BOMB DISPOSAL OFFICER: BABY BOMB is another wacky buddy comedy from Hong Kong coming out in the wake of the LETHAL WEAPON movies. This one's particularly noticeable for its bizarre, anything-goes style plotting. It begins with a kid being blown up in a supermarket and then moves into a kind of romantic comedy as best pals and colleagues Sean Lau and Anthony Wong end up having a young woman moving into their apartment, with the usual hijinks ensuing. There's little of the actual bomb disposal stuff here other than at the effective set-piece climax, but the humour is always wacky and fast-paced and the actors are lovable.

More bizarro film making from Hong Kong!
Captain_Couth10 July 2005
Baby Bomb (1994) was a weird film starring Anthony Wong and Sean Lau, they play best of friends and they both work for the Bomb Disposal Unit for the Hong Kong Police Department. One day after work, the two buddies head for their favorite watering hole. Inside they meet a young lady (a very attractive looking Esther Kwan). After a wild night of partying a drinking through a large plastic sack of Heinekens, the two friends find themselves both sprung for Esther. A few weeks later she learns that she's pregnant. Who's the father? To even complicate things further a serial bomber is terrorizing Hong Kong! Can Anthony and Sean continue to work together or will the arrival of the stork destroy their friendship?
A very funny movie and it's highly entertaining and strongly recommended.
