(1984) The Owl Vs Bumbo (In Chinese with English subtitles) ACTION/ COMEDY/ DRAMA

Decent Sammo Hung Kam Bo feature as a professional bank robber "Bumbo" which is just a code name whose just stolen a great sum of money from the bank only to submitted to some gangsters. An anonymous caller then calls him up then tells him to do specific duties and one of them was to meet another professional thief code name "Owl" played by George Lam and are instructed to teach/ encourage a group of unfortunate/ impoverished kids to seek for some employment with one of two instructors Michelle Yeoh. Upon watching this film, they're a lot of Hollywood influences, particularly "Blackboard Jungle", "to Sir With Love" and "Singin' In The Rain" which is nothing more than a backdrop to showcase comedic situations and some fighting which I liked to see more of since some of the comedic stuff doesn't always work.
