YesAsia Editorial Description

Superstar comedian Stephen Chow turns in one of his most charismatic and heroic performances in King of Beggars, a period kung-fu comedy from director Gordon Chan (Fight Back to School). Chow plays So, a lazy, self-involved layabout who receives a fall from grace when his illiteracy prevents him from becoming an official. Reduced to being a beggar, So is asked to join the rebels, but his pride and self-loathing prevent him from joining up. But when evil Imperial wizard Norman Tsui stages a coup, it's up to up to So to stand up and be counted. So learns the hilarious "sleeping kung-fu", and returns to fight for justice as the legendary Beggar So! Combining an involving martial arts storyline, entertaining action sequences, and Stephen Chow's inimitable comic charm, King of Beggars is one of Stephen Chow's most enjoyable, crowd-pleasing efforts! Nominated for Best Picture and Best Director at the 12th Hong Kong Film Awards.

One of Chow's better Comedies Customer Review Rated Bad 6 - 6 out of 10

We have had Wong Fei Hung in Drunken Master, Lam Sai Wing in Magnificent Butcher and Leung Foon in most of Kwan Tak Hing's Early Wong Fei Hung Movies. Now it's Beggar So Hai's Turn in one of the better early Stephen Chow Movies, King of Beggars.

Stephen plays the Legendary beggar So in his younger days, as an illiterate rich playboy who's illiterate and lazy father (played by Chow Regular Ng Man Tat) is the General of Guangzhou.

For Stephen's birthday, he decides to host a big party for all his friends at a local Teahouse/Opera House/Brothel, which is also where a Government official entertaining Chiu, a Magician from the north (the principal villain of the piece, played by Tsui Siu Keung) is also celebrating. Chiu is an evil magician who has earned the wrath of the Beggars society, so much so that the society have sent two sisters disguised as prostitutes to kill Chiu.

The Lead sister, Yu-Shang (Sharla Cheung) becomes the object of desire of both men, and a small fight breaks out, with So as the winner. With a little help from his father and tutor, Chiu is forced to leave, much to the dismay of the two sisters/Assassins.

Desperate to win Yu-Shang's heart, So will do anything. Yu Shang however will only agree to marry him if he becomes the winner of the Kung-Fu scholar Competition. So is good at Kung Fu but he is no scholar, so Yu-Shang hopes that this will get him out of hair forever, but thanks to a little help from his father, he is able to pass the scholar part of the tournament with a little bribery. Chiu is also at the tournament, and seeks to rig the competition so that So loses...

So however triumphs, and becomes the Kung Fu scholar, but Chiu, unwilling to admit defeat, claims that So is illiterate. When the emperor finds out this is true, he sentences So and his father to become Beggars for life. The two soon after join the Beggars association, and with a little help from a veteran beggar, So achieves the rank of King of beggars and seeks revenge against Chiu.
