Comment:

I thought this movie was really funny. Jackie Chan and Louis Koo are good as partners too.  ::Good Chemistry:: to make it comedic ^^....the only part I hated about the movie was the ending were the guy goes crazy after finding out that baby Matthew wasn't his son's boy =P but the end did make me tear a bit....it was so sad at the part baby matthew was calling for them.....but overall I love love loved this movie Clapping



Starrs:

Jackie Chan, Louis Koo, Michael Hui, Charlene Choi, Chen Baoguo, Gao Yuanyuan, Yuen Biao, Teresa Carpio, Ken Low, Hiro, Terrence Yin, Conroy Chan, Andrew Lin, Cherrie Ying, Ken Wong, and 'Matthew' as The Baby

Synopsis:

The film is an action comedy about three robbers who kidnap a baby. For this film, Chan wanted to play a full-fledged villain, but Chinese censors rejected the original script. So, In the movie, Chan portrays a gambling addict who kidnaps the grandson of a tycoon for ransom, but ends up as a hero trying to protect the child from the mob.

The film follows a group of thieves made up of Thongs (Chan), Octopus (Louis Koo), and Landlord (Michael Hui). They steal for different reasons. Thongs is a compulsive gambler who faces debt collectors at his door. Octopus spends his fortunes to court a rich girl. Landlord does not spend his loot, but saves all of it and keeps it in a safe in his house. After Landlord's house was broke into and all his savings stolen, he was desperate to regain his fortune and accepted a job offer that will pay him in huge sums. At the same time Thongs and Octopus were both in desperate need of money again, and they went for the job without knowing the details. Only after breaking in did they know that Landlord was asked to steal a baby, and return it to the baby's alleged grandfather, who is also the head of a Triad. When they were on the way to hand over the baby, they ran through a police road block, resulting in a car crash. Landlord was hospitalized and kept in police custody because of the accident, while Thongs and Octopus was forced to take care of the baby, deciding that it will be best to hold on to their prize before the Landlord is released. They faced challenges from all fronts, including the Triads, Thongs' creditors, Octopus wife and of course, the baby they've stolen.

RE: Rob-B-Hood

it's better than a lot of Jackie's recent movies, but still not quite as good as when Jackie was a young gun.

OMG! BABY MATTHEW WAS TOOO ADORABLE! I was squealing every other two seconds in the movie. jackie chan and louis koo make a nice duo in this movie and they were hilarious together. ah sa was adorable but she always plays the same kind of character. don't get me wrong though, im a twins fan!

I love the movie! Just watched it recently, and it has easily become one of my favourite movies. Cutie Louis Koo + Ninja Jackie Chan + Adorable Baby Matthew = Big Grin Big Grin Big Grin Big Grin Big Grin

I love how the baby giggles!

RE: Rob-B-Hood

haha, like every other of Jacky's movies, funny. whatever you want, comedy or action, it got it. I just saw this movie last week and loved it.
i agree with hli_xyooj that the funniest part is where the baby suck on jackie's nibble, hahahha. i think they put honey on jacky's nibble, hahaha. ah sa is quite cute and unique in this movie. too bad she's not in a bigger role.
