Product Information
導演︰羅馬
Director: John Lo Mar
導演羅馬和星加玻諧星野風成功健立了阿牛這個喜劇人物，大受歡迎，第三集《阿牛發達記》，在阿牛這個小人物身上，依然發掘出無窮靈感，笑料源源不絕。羅馬塑造阿牛，生性善良戇直，反映出小民樂天知命的人生觀，野風的喜劇演繹上乘，不愧為星洲首席笑匠，情節穿插於狂想和現實之間，有喜有悲。這一次，阿牛在街上拾得一袋珠寶，從此生活改變，坐汽車，住大屋，但人性的醜惡也隨之而來。周大叔假意叫他簽約迎娶書院女，卻是賣屋陷阱，阿牛又回復一貧如洗的命運。阿牛回到後巷席地而睡，夢中又見到天降橫財……
In 1974, John Lo Mar co-directed The Crazy Bumpkins, a new variation on the time-tested, beloved Cantonese comedy "Country Bumpkin" tradition. That proved such a success that a sequel, Return Of The Crazy Bumpkins, soon appeared. Now, the third time's the charm, as John Lo Mar gets to both write and direct the third slapstick-filled installment, once again starring Yeh Feng and Wang Sha as the hapless and hilarious yokel Ah Niu and his crafty city-slicker Uncle Chou.

Better than the 2nd film
|
On the positive side, this film is much much better than the mean spirited second film in the series, _Return Of The Crazy Bumpkins_. On the negative side, it's not as good as the first and this film seems to be more hostile towards the main character, Ah Niu, than the films before. Warning - Some spoiler information below, but not too much. The film begins perhaps a few years after _Return Of The Crazy Bumpkins_. Ah Niu is out of money and must return to Hong Kong to find work. A corrupt government worker has been making money from bribes and investigators show up at his apartment before he has had time to hide his money. He throws a suitcase filled with money out of his apartment window and it lands at Ah Niu's feet. Ah Niu walks around Hong Kong and by blind luck finds Uncle. Uncle refuses to talk to him and tells him to leave until Ah Niu shows him the money. Then Uncle says he was only kidding. This sets a tone for the rest of the movie. Ah Hua shows up a few brief times in the film in a long cameo role. She keeps warning Ah Niu that neither Uncle nor his "friends" really care about him, they only want his money. As you can imagine, Ah Niu ignores this good advice. Uncle and his friends go through a variety of schemes to get money from Ah Niu. I began to lose all sympathy for Ah Niu. At first, you can feel sorry for a dumb guy who people exploit, but when he keeps coming back for more and more and almost begs to be exploited, well, at some point you can't feel sorry for him any more. The film does not have a happy ending for Ah Niu, although I have to say that maybe it was an appropriate ending. It's very difficult to get information in English about this series, but it appears that there may be one more movie, not yet released, featuring these characters in Singapore. If so, perhaps that will be a future release. |
