A film within a film, this gangster spoof has unique funny scenes within an implausible confusing plot. A Chinese comedy, its
true star is Wei
Xiang, is cast in the role as Killer Karl whose name becomes synonymous with
gangster rough and tough action. The actor has spent years dreaming to become a
film star and when he meets and stars opposite his female idol, Milan – played by
Ma Li - his wish comes true (though his acting is less than desirable). he gets entangled in danger with duplicitous characters. This actor could well compete for a Charlie Chaplin award. He’s
very funny. His slap stick movements and facial expression a steal the whole
show. Who cares if this plot is hard to follow, it’s pure fun at its silliest.
