Do sing

Ridiculously funny and filled to the brim with style, chow in particular has a great screen presence and does dumb incredibly well, slapstick isn't really my thing but the way it is handled in this film is incredibly well-done with absolute precision, this is all helped by the impeccable blocking, there are three type of scenes in this movie: comedic slapstick scenes, action scenes (hand to hand combat), and gambling scenes, and each one is edited and filmed in completely distinct and wonderful ways, it takes three different genres and manages to create something beautiful in all those three ways, lau's direction is something that is over the top but also manages to be incredibly subtle in how brilliant everything is done, it is a very simple story but it manages to be entirely complex with the filmmaking, writing, and performances, one of those gems that might be one in a long line hong kong slapstick/action pictures but even if that is the case this still manages to be incredibly well-made and consistently hysterical

would make a great double feature with Roger Donaldson/Tom Cruise's Cocktail.

A parody of movies like "God of Gamblers", Chow plays a young mainland Chinese who comes to visit his uncle in Hong Kong. His uncle discovers that Chow has certain talents and takes advantage of them by using them to win at gambling. Eventually, Chow's character ends up involved with shady characters, falling in love, and competing in a world championship card game. Over-all, not as good as "God of Cookery", but a good solid Stephen Chow film.

It is a first film starred with Stephen Chow as the main character on this gambling epic. He was a "nobody" who came from mainland China to Hongkong, in searching of better life. While his potential was discovered by his gamble addicted uncle, which is supernatural ability to exchange any card at any time. Through this journey, he met the girl he always dream of, and the fame he always wanted. Finally, he was forced to enter a tournament to face the best of the best. His comedian skill led the audiences enjoy the movie from the beginning til the end. As most story goes, he won the tournament, and won the girl he loves. Stephen Chow makes high ranking on this movie in Hong Kong's box office in 1990.

Chow showed his superstar talent at this early stage; you can get by thanks to his hilarious delivery and winning physical comedy. The chemistry between Chow and Ng Man-Tat is evident even at this early stage in their partnership. A fun film.

Thanks to his performance as a God of Gamblers wannabe, Stephen Chow became the biggest box office draw of the nineties.

Watching Stephen Chow's film is a kind of enjoyment,he offen act as a ordinary guy bue and last he save the world ,what's more ,he becomes a hero,I love Stephen

Sing (Stephen Chow) is a mainland China country boy who arrives in Hong Kong to visit his Uncle "Blackie Tat" (Ng Man-tat). When Sing stays with his uncle and his friends in their apartment, Blackie soon learns of Sing's supernatural ability to see through objects and, later on, his ability to change playing cards by rubbing them. He takes advantage of this and turns Sing into the Dou Seng or the "Saint of Gamblers". After getting into a fight with several alleyway gamblers he meets the lovely Yee-mung A. K. A. "Lady Dream", and becomes infatuated with her. Sing quickly becomes a rival to the King and must win his way through a world competition to prove his skill.

The likeable Stephen Chow has the ability to see through things in this lively, glossy HK spoof of gambler films that were popular in the late 80's-early 90's, and there's plenty of fun to be had here, especially with a great performance by Man-Tat Ng, who is a chronic gambler looking to win the big stakes and his nephew ( Chow) is the key to that. Quite an enjoyable film, with nary a dull moment, not with the humour and silly moments running rife. There's some energetic comic fights - funny one is when every time Chow tries to hit a guy another man beats him to it. Man Cheung lends some eye candy, and does some butt-kicking, too.

From Seasonal Films and Ng See Yuen, comes one of my favourite Chow Sing Chi (and Jeff Lau) films, All For The Winner - a ridiculously hilarious comedy that spoofs Wong Jing's mega-hit, God Of Gamblers, parodying many memorable scenes, music and even artwork to excite any fan of Hong Kong film!

Of course, it has a lot of its own originality also, including some great action scenes courtesy of co-director Corey Yuen Kwai - who also co-stars. He is joined by the always fantastic Sandra Ng and Chow's regular right-hand-man, Ng Man Tat who plays his uncle Tat, with the majority of the films comedy based around the incredible on-screen chemistry these guys have together due to their long working career alongside each other.

Co-director Jeff Lau gets his obligatory role, this time as a big boss gambler, and the rest of the cast is pretty strong with the great (Sharla) Cheung Man and Wan Yeung Ming - both of which play the aids of King Of Gamblers, Paul Chun, a very recognisable face from almost 200 Hong Kong movies. Even the great Chow Yun Fat gets a brief appearance albeit through a video when Chow and Ng are watching God of Gamblers in order to learn how to behave at gambling matches...

And of course, when you have a country bumpkin as daft as Chow Sing Chi trying to play the suave, cool city slicker (now known as the Saint of Gamblers), you know its just going to get even more ridiculous! Cue the slow motion walking, insane card tricks, and hilarious reactions which shows Chow at his best with lots of laugh-out-loud moments!

Ironically, Chow Sing Chi would also star in God of Gamblers 2 the same year playing a role pretty much exactly the same in director Wong Jing's satirical sequel that also stars Andy Lau as his character from the original.

The great Corey Yuen provides some fantastic action scenes, even giving us a great shot of Cheung Man in a slo-mo, John Woo/Chow Yun Fat inspired, double-gun moment before letting loose on the bad guys in a rescue mission. The chubby faced Sheila Chan gets in on the action in a restaurant fight, along with Ng Man Tat in a dress... As per usual, when Chow Sing Chi gets a bit of action time, the Bruce Lee moves start coming out - including one such moment that may have inspired him to do Fist Of Fury 1991 and leaves the cross-dressing uncle Tat foaming at the mouth...

A lot of people I know (and other critics) can't handle Chow Sing Chi's kind of humour, but I love it and do think he is one of the funniest actors ever. Personally, I believe he has inspired many a Jim Carrey and Will Farrell moment with his insane style of comedy, and probably don't laugh out as loud at other comedies like I do when watching his! And in All For The Winner, there are far too many to mention!

Overall: I can't love this movie enough. Definitely one of the best action comedies from Hong Kong's golden years!
