The Contract

Oh, how Hong Kong cinema has progressed. This 1978 comedy is resplendent with goofy makeup, a silly storyline and plenty of slapstick. It's well on par with the quality of US films of the day - think about Herbie the Love Bug, or the fantabulous Pink Panter films. The Pink Panter movies were far better comedies, but the approach is incredibly similar.

It's interesting for the historical look back into cinematic past. Rent it for a rainy afternoon of goofiness.
