Year: 2003 Runtime: 1hr 40min Country: Hong Kong Language: Cantonese Genre: Comedy Director: Vincent Kok Cast Ronald Cheng, Stephy Tang, Eric Tsang, Sam Lee, Miki Yeung, Cheung Tat Synopsis Hong Kong has a new comedy hero! Sort of. After Ronald Cheng surprised most audiences with his effectively wacky turn in the 2003 Lunar New Year Comedy My Lucky Star, he was handpicked by director Vincent Kok to headline his own comedy. The resulting epic, Dragon Loaded 2003, seems cut from the same cloth as too many eighties and nineties HK comedies. What that means is the film is messy, formulaic, and without any consequence whatsoever. However, it’s also sporadically funny and inspired, and Ronald Cheng is a likable comedy lead. Dragon Loaded 2003 will never be a classic and it doesn’t deserve to be either. But for throwaway laughs, it can occasionally do the job. Cheng is Lung, a spoiled rich brat who claims to have a sense of justice. That’s all well and good, but instead of spending his time doing good, he hangs around all day with his spoiled rich friends Sam Lee and Cheung Tat-Ming: The lazy attitudes of the spoiled rich trio annoy their fathers, who proffer a bargain. If the three can become worthy cops then they’ll allow them to inherit their fortunes. Otherwise, the three old geezers will hand out all their money to passerbys at the Jordan MTR station. It looks like it’s time for Lung and pals to join the police squad, which means lots of wacky Police Academy-type shtick as the three attempt to better themselves. Or not. Despite the threat of losing their fortunes, the three buddies seem to have no desire to remain on the force, and make getting kicked out their primary goal.
