John Woo's Bedazzled

To Hell With The Devil (1981) is an entertaining version of the cult comedy Bedazzled. Ricky Hui stars as Bruce Lee (Not the fighter, he tells a young lady) a struggling singer/songwriter who'll do anything to be successful. One day, he meets a minion of the devil (played by Stanley Fung). He also meets a servant from god (Paul Chun) the two constantly fight over the soul of Ricky. Nat Chan plays a sleazy Pop Star who benefits greatly from Ricky's stolen song book. Will the Devil take Ricky's soul or will it belong to God? Check it out. As with all of John Woo's films, he reuses many action set pieces that show up in his later films.

Recommended for John Woo and Ricky Hui fans.

Not a bad Priest vs. Devil horror-comedy.

This isn't a bad Hong Kong horror comedy, starring Ricky Hui as a musician who wants to impress his dream girl by making a deal with the Devil. However, a Catholic priest (Paul Chun) meets up with him and tries to convince him to repent because he has sold his soul to the devil and needs to reclaim it.

The humor and drama were quite good and tastefully done, with some decent acting. Stanley Fung makes a good villain playing the Devil's assistant, as does Paul Chun playing the priest. The two dueling it out is a classic good vs. evil tour-de-force and is pretty entertaining to watch.

There are some goofy moments in some of the supporting characters, and even Ricky Hui does his fair share of goofiness. But still, it's not a bad horror comedy that is serviceable for some much-needed TV time on a slow day.

That was comedy gold!

This was a first time watch for me and I enjoyed every minute of To Hell with the Devil (1982).

Positives for To Hell with the Devil (1982): For only the second Hong Kong Comedy Movie that I've ever watched, this is genuinely one of the best comedy movies I've ever seen in my entire life. You can tell that John Woo let the entire cast have fun with this movie. There's even some horror elements thrown into the movie and it's was so entertaining. And finally, the climax of the movie is basically a video game final boss battle and it is so entertainingly over-the-top.

Overall, To Hell with the Devil (1982) is one of the best foreign movies and comedy movies that I've ever seen in my entire life and I highly recommend it to everyone who's a fan of Hong Kong Cinema.
