Gau ban ji ma goon: Bak min Bau Ching Tin

HAIL THE JUDGE is a funny period comedy from Stephen Chow, filled with his usual diverse plot ingredients and scattershot surprises. Chow plays the usual low level character, a judge who falls foul of the corrupt rich in society and ends up penniless while true justice continues to elude the needy. After some ultra-bizarre adventures, he finally befriends the emperor himself and things take a turn for the better. It's an episodic, sometimes silly adventure filled with memorable characters (Elvis Tsui's kung fu master is a case in point) and hilarious situations, the animated speech scenes being particular highlights.
