Summary:
The superstar comedy stylings of Stephen Chow get a mega-workout in Tricky Brains, an early blockbuster hit starring Stephen Chow and Andy Lau! Stephen Chow is Jing Koo, the self-styled "Handsome Tricky Expert", who will gladly screw with you if it means a paycheck for himself. The payee is Macky (Waise Lee), who wants the handsome Kit (Andy Lau) out of the way so he can be made manager of the company. Jing Koo takes the job, and starts his con by fooling Kit's father (frequent Stephen Chow collaborator Richard Ng Man Tat) into thinking that he is, in fact, the long-lost half brother of Kit. Both Kit and his dad buy into Jing Koo's tricks, but their kindness is rough on the avowed trickster. Will he regret tricking Kit and his father? And will the office be reduced to a shambles once the "Handsome Tricky Expert" is done with them?
Tricky Brains demonstrates Stephen Chow's snarky comic persona at its absolute best, meaning the master comedian spends all his time imposing his superiority over the less quick-witted folks around him. Jing Koo runs virtual rings around all his victims, which include sexy Chingmy Yau, and Rosamund Kwan as Kit's nominal love interest. Like other films directed by Wong Jing, Tricky Brains is a wacky joke-a-minute laffer full of movie parodies, sudden musical numbers, and enough silliness to fill ten other films. And like other Stephen Chow movies, Tricky Brains is one incredibly funny movie!
