The Owl VS Bumbo (Hong Kong Version)

YesAsia Editorial Description

Classic eighties stars Sammo Hung and George Lam team-up in the delightful buddy comedy Owl vs. Bombo. Also known by the title Owl vs. Dumbo, the film finds the amiable actors as two ex-thieves (named Owl and Bombo, naturally) who team-up when cop Chung (Stanley Fung) blackmails them into acting on his behalf. Neither Owl nor Bombo has ever been fingered for their crimes, but Chung has the goods on both. However, instead of sending them to the big house, he enlists their aid in bringing down a big-time gangster (James Tien) involved in police corruption.

Owl vs. Bombo is typical of Hong Kong Cinema's eighties output, meaning it's a melting pot of various genres, including slapstick comedy, martial arts action, and even romance and drama. Director Sammo Hung gives both he and George Lam romantic interests, with Owl (Lam) becoming involved with social worker Miss Yeung, played by Hong Kong superstar Michelle Yeoh, in her very first screen appearance. Bombo (Hung) also romances a social worker, played by singer-actress Deannie Ip. The film also provides surprising drama, as two couples attempt to repair the lives of a group of juvenile delinquents. However, despite that detour into inspirational drama, the film regroups for a martial arts action finale, plus there's even an added treat for Sammo Hung fans: the famously large martial artist engages in a solo dance number! Funny, poignant, and quite surprising, Owl vs. Bombo is classic Hong Kong entertainment.

綽號小飛象的陳初一(洪金寶飾),身手矯捷,與綽號貓頭鷹,頭腦精明的黃人富(林子祥飾),皆非循正途謀生。小飛象行劫一財務公司後洗手不幹。歐根表面上乃地產界鉅子,實則暗中進行不法勾當,並得警司呂SIR(張景坡飾)庇護。貓頭鷹騙得歐根之鉅款後亦收山。事隔三年,小飛象轉行開設健身院,而貓頭鷹則過著恬逸的生活。一日,兩人分別收到神秘信件,信中詳細列明兩人所幹之勾當,並迫兩人完成兩項任務。首項任務是到青年中心做輔導員,第二項是去競投一幅官地。此官地,原是歐根管轄之區域;對其勢力有著關鍵性的影響。小飛象無意中發現雜工鍾叔,乃是一直想消滅歐根,可惜苦無證據之退役探員鍾SIR(馮淬帆飾),原來他暗中策劃此行動,欲迫使歐根現出原形,趁機將之消滅…

Both Firstday Chan, nicknamed Bombo and Yan Fuk Wong, the Owl, used to make a living by doing something illegal. After robbing a financial company, Chan decided not to do that again. Having swindled a huge amount of money from Au Gan, a big man in the real estate field, who dealt with illegal business in secret way and was under Superintendent Lui's protection, Wong also decided to return to good. Three years later, Chan ran a health club while Wong led an easeful life. But one day, both of them received an anonymous letter, saying that what they had done in the past was well known and they'd better finish two tasks. The first task was to work in a youth probation center, the second one was to bid for a piece of official land, which was under Au Gan's rule and quite important to him. Chan accidentally found out Uncle Chung, an employee in the center, was a retired detective who was the secret man writing them the letter. As he wanted to eliminate Au Gan for years but was lack of evidence, he contrived this plot. Chan was on his own to solve his grudges with Chung and rescued Wong who was seized by Au Gan.
