Maestro Johnnie To is back after a 3-year hiatus with his craziest genre mash-up yet. Is it a fight flick? A kitsch musical? A screwball comedy? All of the above! Enterprising MMA champion Tiger (Jacky Heung) and hapless singer Cuckoo (Keru Wang) have an awkward meet-cute when she tries to escape a debt. Tiger embroils Cuckoo in shady jobs to pay back what she owes, but she flees to an audition for a TV talent show. Gleefully gaudy, replete with dynamite fight scenes and a hilarious sendup of celebrity, To and team paint the town red with what dreams are made of.
