Where's Officer Tuba (1986) 霹靂大喇叭 Director: Ricky Lau, Phillip Chan Starring: Sammo Hung, David Chiang, Jacky Cheung, Joi Wang Officer Tuba (Sammo Hung) isn't much of a cop. He's mearly a timid tuba player in the Royal Hong Kong Police marching band. He is coerced by the ghost of a recently deceased cop (David Chiang) to capture a group of smugglers who were responsible for the cops death. Sammo teams up with a greenhorn straight out of the academy (Jacky Cheung, in his first role) to accomplish this mission and allow the ghost to be reincarnated. More comedy than action here, with some truly hilarious moments such as Tuba's dinner date with love interest Joey Wong at Joey's parents house. This is Jacky Cheung's first movie, and he acts as if he's on speed. He's totally hyped in every scene, as though the other actors are performing in slow mo. Luckily, he quickly learned (in later films) a little more restraint. DVD: List Price: US $19.95
