YesAsia Editorial Description
Before John Woo became Hollywood's expert at Hong Kong action, he was famous for a number of energetic comedies, including the 1980 laffer From Riches to Rags. Popular funnyman Ricky Hui (of the famous Hui brothers) stars as a lowly factory worker who dreams of striking it rich with buddy Fatso (Johnny Koo). Luckily, a fortuneteller informs Ricky that he's about to become one wealthy fellow. Unluckily, he's also supposed to die soon. After Ricky hires a hitman to take care of him before his fateful end, he learns something even more sobering: his doctor was wrong! Can Ricky stay one step ahead of the hitmen to enjoy his upcoming newfound wealth? John Woo mixes slapstick situation comedy with some darker-than-usual plot twists, making From Riches to Rags a shining example of the wild shifts in tone Hong Kong Cinema is renowned for! Hilarious, unexpected, and wildly unpredictable, From Riches to Rags is a John Woo movie like you've never seen!

英欲自殺了斷，徘徊於天台之上，恰遇窮途末路之竹織鴨也欲自殺，英感同情遂傾囊相助，竹無以為報，遂應英之心願，代請殺手暗殺自己。醫生突然致電澄清斷錯症，英、波大喜，孰料竹織鴨代請之殺手，處處追蹤英而欲殺之，英、波四處奔逃……
Ricky and Fatso are friends in need. Yes, they are in dire need of money since they are only paid slave wages at the bottling factory. Ricky and Fatso buy a lottery ticket. They become millionaires overnight. In one of these nights out in town, Ricky is suddenly attacked by an upset stomach. In no time, a quack doctor diagnoses the seizure as terminal cancer.
Ricky seriously considers suicide. But he is also appalled by the drawbacks inherent in the many methods of doing himself in - primarily the pain. It is on a rooftop from which he is supposed to make a plunge that he saves a poor man from suicide by giving the latter all the money he has. In gratitude, the newly rich man promises to hire a killer to finised off his suffering benefactor……
