YesAsia Editorial Description
The popular Shaw Brothers comedy The Warlord introduced audiences to the comedy genius of Michael Hui Koon Man, the man who would one day become Hong Kong's reigning box office king of comedy! Michael Hui is Pang Ta Fu, the bald ruler of Shantung appointed to the position after the Sino-Russian conflict. Saddled with a three-month drought, Pang challenges the gods...and wins! Now that his country is prosperous again, Pang's popularity soars, but that's not the end of his story. He has to deal with battfield skirmishes (some of which are decided by mahjongg), and the unfaithful ways of his many, many wives. He also loses the national treasury due to gambling, and tries to pay his soldiers by secretly raiding a treasure-filled tomb! Recalling Charlie Chaplin's work in The Great Dictator, Michael Hui creates a broadly funny, satirical portrait of a Chinese warlord who may - or may not - have been based on an actual Chinese official! Directed by Li Han Hsiang, who would also direct Michael Hui in the erotic comedy The Happiest Moment.

Product Information
演員：許冠文╱胡錦╱狄娜╱宗華
本片在1972年功夫片大行其道之下，成為全年三大賣座華語電影之一，更獲亞洲影展描寫人物最成功喜劇片獎，奠定了李翰祥作為商業導演的地位，並成功捧紅喜劇泰斗許冠文。
No list of the screen's comic geniuses would be complete without Michael Hui Kwun-man. He created a hilarious and lovable comic persona that was both uniquely Asian and universally beloved. This, his first film, not only showcased his incomparable sense of humor but revolutionized Hong Kong comedy. Evoking Chaplin, he plays a warlord in early 20th Century China, but makes the role his own with both laughs and some of the sexest ladies on the Shaw Brothers lot.

Director Li Han Hsiang and A+ comedian Micheal Hui had made this movie a great success in the 70's. Of course the great cast like Tina, Hu Chin, Lily Ho... and the hilarious story plot contributed to the success. Highly recommended to the classic lovers. |
