When I sat down to watch "Chiu kap hok hau ba wong" (aka "Future Cops") here in 2021, for the very first time, I must admit that I wasn't really expecting the movie to be as enjoyable and funny as it turned out to be. I had read the synopsis, but hadn't paid attention to whom was on the cast list.
And I must admit that writer and director Jing Wong definitely did a marvelous job with "Future Cops", because this movie was every bit as unique as it was enjoyable. In fact, I think that "Future Cops" is so over the top goofy and silly that some viewers might actually dislike the movie. I, however, enjoyed this particular style of silly movie.
The storyline is pretty straight forward and simplistic. A group of law enforcers and criminals travel back in time and cause havoc at a high school.
Aside from having an enjoyable storyline that was made all the more entertaining by the sheer amount of funny situations, character and dialogue, then "Future Cops" had an amazing ensemble of casted actors and actresses. If you are familiar with the Hong Kong cinema, then you will find yourself in for quite a treat.
"Future Cops" has the likes of Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung, Aaron Kwok, Chingmy Yau, Ekin Cheng, Simon Yam. Richard Ng and Ken Lo on the cast list. So yeah, this is definitely an all-star ensemble.
I particularly enjoyed how "Future Cops" was a parody on things like "Street Fighter", "Tekken", "Dragonball Z" and "Doreamon". It was just all together a silly mixture that made for hilarious entertainment.
This was definitely a blast to sit down and watch, and I was more than genuinely entertained by Jing Wong's 1993 action comedy. My rating of "Future Cops" lands on a six out of ten stars.
