Fun and Fury (1992)

A fast paced action comedy of the type HK churned out by the score in the 1980s and early 90s.

Leon Lai plays a Singaporean cop who is in love with Vivian Chow... who is the daughter of Kent Cheung, a HK Triad boss! Well of course daddy doesn't want a son-in-law who is a cop so he concocts a plan to frame Leon as a womaniser using the rather fetching young wench Sharon Kwok... 

So Leon and Vivian fall out and Leon has to enlist the help of his buddy Frankie Chan to mend matters. But while all this is happening another Triad boss (whose brother was killed by Leon or something like that - its not fully explained, these films do tend to have complicated and convoluted plots) moves in and with the help of a large black man wielding an RPG and a kung fu blonde babe with an assault rifle proceed to kick ass...

The plot is very simple and predictable but the action is great with some really good inventive kung fu fights and plenty of explosions especially in the cool final showdown. The film doesn't take itself too seriously which is why it works.
