Justice, My Foot!

Sung Sai-Kit (Stephen Chow) is a scheming lawyer in a Qing-era Chinese town, hired by anyone who can pay and loose about what the law actually says. He answers to a wife, Mrs. Sung (Anita Mui Yim-fong), who fights better than he argues and has her own ideas about how a courtroom should run. Johnnie To sets the two of them against Magistrate Ho (Richard Ng Man-tat), and their squabbling, trading insults and blows in equal measure, is where the film's heart sits.
