Justice, My Foot (1992) 審死官 Director: Johnnie To Starring: Stephen Chiau, Anita Mui, Ng Mang Tat, Carrie Ng This period comedy stars Steven Chow as ingenious Councillor Sung Shih-Chieh and lovely Anita Mui as his pregnant kung fu wife, as they uncover the political conspiracy behind a death by poisoning. The jokes can get exhausting, but the
movie is partially redeemed by its farting jokes, Anita Mui's flying
kung fu wizardry (which there should be more of), and a brilliant
courtroom scene where Chieu must simultaneously clear an innocent girl
of a murder, implicate the guilty parties (who have bribed the judges),
and prove each member of the tribunal guilty of conspiracy -- a scene
yielding no less than five plot twists in ten minutes! DVD: List Price: US $19.95
