Pretty solid buddy action/comedy

Curry and Pepper pairs up Steven Chow and Jackie Chung as a couple of goofball cops that get their antics filmed live for television. It shows them go through from some really silly stuff to life and death confrontations with triads and a crazed hitman. This was made for a Hong Kong audience with some of the humor and tonal shifts of the film that would confuse international viewers. The movie early on more of a comedy and builds to all out blood soaked, bullet ridden, explosive high body count climax that would make John Woo smile. Performances were good (and appropriate for the scenes they were in) and had a good support cast of Ann Bridgewater, Barry Wong and Eric Tsang. Steven Chow and Jackie Chung had good chemistry and Steven Chow was surprisingly good in the more dramatic scenes.

Pepper and Curry.

After watching auteur Ringo Lam's magnificent curtain call to the Heroic Bloodshed genre with Full Contact, (1992-also reviewed) I afterwards listened to the Bey Logan commentary and noted down titles mentioned with the beautiful Ann Bridgewater. Unable after many attempts to find the movie on DVD,I was happy to stumble upon it online recently, which led to me plating up some curry and pepper.View on the film:Playing the straight woman to the mad-cap antics, cute Ann Bridgewater gives a very good performance as Law, whose eager attitude to capture the cops protecting the streets is captured with a breeziness by Bridgewater. The second flick they would do together after Faithfully Yours (1988), Jacky Cheung and Stephen Chow already display a yin/yang ease in their buddy act, via Chow supplying the frantic physical slap-stick as Pepper, while Jacky Cheung has Curry target punch-lines with a funny nervousness.Sending the duo off with reporter Law for the first half, director Blackie Shou Liang Ko & cinematographer Wai-Keung Lau hold the broad punch-lines and funny stumbling physical gags together on the foundation of Law filming all the antics, and the terrific brooding synch score from Richard Lo. Once the doc filming is wrapped, Ko and the screenplay by James Yuen become hazy in connecting all that took place in the first half with what unfolds in the second, as the duo take on a gang which is poorly forced into linking with Law's doc filming. Whilst the road to it is shaky, Ko cooks up a winning final with a pitch-perfect spoofing of the Heroic Bloodshed genre,complete with ultra-stylised tracking shots smashing against blown out windows and icy freeze frames for the most over the top action kicks cooked up by Curry and Pepper.
