Stooges in Hong Kong

1992 · 88 min

A breezy, bawdy comedy that coasts on crude jokes and broad caricatures, easy to dip into but never demanding.

Overview: James Wong stars as a late night talk show host who tells some of the dirtiest jokes and is insanely popular. His show is the biggest rated late night show on television. But all of his credit should go to his mistreated joke writer (Tommy Wong). Instead of paying him the money he truly deserves, James Wong short changes him every chance he can get. His personal life is a mess as well. He has a hot wife whom he can't satisfy and no friends.
How it feels: Satirical, cynical, absurd and campy. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Work, betrayal, class, celebrity
Content: Strong sexual content and language. Mild violence. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
