Warning: Images are not from the movies we’re showing. Trust us, you can’t imagine what we’re showing!
One of the Hong Kong’s funniest comedies, this flick is a demolition derby of ideas smashing into each other in a cartwheeling cataclysm of ridiculosity that catches on fire and plows into the audience at 500 mph. It’s also one of the unlikeliest movies ever made. Conceived, written, cast, shot, edited and released in only 27 days (!) it started out as a serious drama about heroic doctors working at a cutting edge hospital but somewhere between day 1 and day 27 its creators realized that hospital dramas were stupid and the only thing to do was turn it into a comedy. There hasn’t been a movie this surreal, this freewheeling, or this mean-spirited since Airplane! or the original Naked Gun.
