Odd Couple with Skinny Tiger and Fatty Dragon
Odd Couple with Skinny Tiger and Fatty Dragon
Odd Couple
One of two films made by Gar Bo Motion Picture Company, founded by Sammo Hung with collaborators Lau Kar-wing and Karl Maka, Odd Couple is a classic kung-fu comedy crafted to display the stars’ mastery of traditional martial arts weaponry in dual roles. Two elderly masters, King of Sabers (Hung) and King of Spears (Lau), meet annually for a duel to see who is the superior martial artist. After years of ending in a draw, they each take on a student (with Lau’s student played by Hung and Hung’s student played by Lau) to determine who is the better teacher.
Skinny Tiger and Fatty Dragon
Sammo Hung reunited with Lau Kar-wing and Karl Maka for this kinetic comedy full of intense action sequences. Baldy, a fast-talking detective and his Bruce Lee-obsessed partner, Fatty, stumble upon the robbery of a jewelry store, which puts them on the trail of a triad crime syndicate. Along the way they end up in plenty of situations where Fatty’s martial arts skills are needed to get them out of trouble. Hung and Maka’s playful banter keep the tone light through brutal fight scenes as they track down Lau’s delightfully over-the-top crime boss, Cocaine Wing.
