The Romancing Star 2

Actors Shui-Fan Fung, Eric Tsang and Pak-cheung Chan play three romancers in this intriguing comedy who enter show business and join the ratings-struggling Chow TV station, run by Lao Chow (Hoi-Pang Lo), to boost their careers and attempt to each court an aspiring actress and a beauty pageant candidate. While Chow TV's ratings improve, their competing competing Channel 8 TV concocts a scheme to try to sabotage Chow TV's productions.

This film is full of laugh out loud humor, from Stanley Fung's laughing spell to Pak-cheung Chan's vampire disguise. This film also spoofs several scenes from other movies including An Autumn's Tale and Prison on Fire. I also especially like the fiery character Miss Mui, played by Wan-Si Wong. Her chemistry with Stanley Fung is classic and humorous.

All sorts of other highly acclaimed Hong Kong actors appear including Andy Lau, Elizabeth Lee, Carina Lau and Jing Wong - each delivering some dramatic performances. It's a HK comedy like no other. Go check it out!
