An all-star cast of Hong Kong cinema names stars in They Came To Rob Hong Kong , an enjoyable late-eighties action-comedy. Menacing Roy Cheung stars as Tung, a tough Hong Kong criminal who escapes to China and hires a ragtag group of mainland Chinese for an elaborate job back in Hong Kong. Among the group are such luminaries as Stanley Fung, Eric Tsang, Chin Siu Ho, Dean Shek and Sandra Ng. Chingmy Yau shows up as Jenny, a teacher who's responsible for schooling them in Hong Kong's capitalist ways. Given their wacky personalities and questionable intelligence, it seems doubtful that they could safely cross the street, much less pull off Tung's planned job. But Tung seems unbothered by their seeming incompetence. What exactly does the criminal mastermind have planned? Action veteran Kara Hui checks in for the tough action sequences, which dazzle with energetic panache and well-done wirework. Director Clarence Fok ( Naked Killer ) mixes over-the-top comedy with brutal action sequences and many movie parodies in They Came to Rob Hong Kong , an overstuffed action-comedy that entertains in classic anything-goes Hong Kong cinema fashion!
