Forbidden City Cop (1996) Reviews

Member Rating:

Inept in martial arts, Fat (Stephen Chiau), the emperor's personal bodyguard, spies on agents of a rival dynasty, exposing their claim of a captured extraterrestrial as a hoax. Fat next visits a local prostitute as a possibility for the emperor, but problems arise when his wife (Carina Lau Kar-Ling), unaware that Fat is a secret agent, learns that her husband is seeing a prostitute. Surreal comedy and special effects surface amid kinetic martial arts in this fast-paced actioner, the number-two highest grossing ($4.8 million) Hong Kong flick of 1996. Shown at 1998 film festivals (Berlin, Palm Springs). ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

It's one of more creative storyline from hk movies. I'd bet you can't figure it out until you watch it. It's basically 007 (i.e. James Bond) in ancient china, however chow's character is not flashy but is intelligent and a great inventor for spy tools. Plus, there is kinda of a love-triangle romantic story between Chow, Carina Lau and Carmen Lee, but it's not really --- very funny and slightly surprising ending.
