YesAsia Editorial Description

The Hui Brothers created films that saved the Hong Kong film industry and Cantonese films in the 1970s. Led by the eldest Michael Hui, with siblings Ricky Hui and Sam Hui, created comedy classics that defined a generation and changed the face of Hong Kong films forever. Michael Hui wrote, directed and starred in comedies that focused on lives on the ordinary people, the satirical yet compassionate portrayals of life in Hong Kong touched the masses for more than a decade. Now one of his famous comedies The Magic Touch , co-starring singer Leon Lai and famous comedian Dayo Wong, has been remastered for fans to enjoy the film again in its best quality!

Michael Hui plays a fortuneteller who indeed knows nothing about fortune telling, in other words, who makes a living on cheating. Leon Lai stars as an investigator from the Inland Revenue Department to check against Hui's tax evasion. But this pseudo- fortuneteller acquires the supernatural ability to predict future events all of a sudden, and to our surprise he even collaborates with the tax investigator who is supposed to be his enemy! In an unpredictable story about the prediction of future happenings, Micheal Hui, Leon Lai, and Dayo Wong unfold a lot of surprises to amuse the audience from start to finish!

  「神算」 (1992) 是許冠文七年後回歸自編自導自演崗位,也是自70年代「天才與白痴」以來再次玩絕科幻之作!對於占卜這個習俗,也是當時香港流行「特異功能」的瘋狂構思。素來是詐騙神棍的許冠文突然有了預知未來的能力,最後贏得友誼及大破奇案的團圓結局。「神算」的選角由許冠文找來偶像天王黎明、還有日後楝篤紅人黃子華負責編劇及初次銀幕演出,創下1992年票房佳績,也是許冠文至今最賣座電影之一。

  “The Magic Touch” has Michael Hui returned to the director’s chair in more than 7 years. In this sci-fi comedy, Michael plays fortune-telling can artist who turned out to really “see the future” and does good deeds. “The Magic Touch” features some early performances of pop start Leon Lai and comedian Dayo Wong. Together they have made this film one of the top films of 1992 and also becoming Michael Hui’s highest box office grossing film to this day.

enjoyable Customer Review Rated Bad 6 - 6 out of 10
You should get a few laughs out of this film. Hui is good at making people laugh but his brother, Ying, is also extremely funny.

supposed to be funny Customer Review Rated Bad 6 - 6 out of 10
magic touch is supposed to be a funny movie. there were only a few cheap laughs. the dvd picture quality is decent. the picture in general looks like it is very old. not much post production work was done on the film for aesthetic purposes thus making the picture quality low.
