In Hong Kong cinema, Lunar New Year is the battlefield for the year's biggest box office fight. In 1988, Cinema City took the flag with this star-studded comedy, about the romantic hijinks of three brothers (Raymond Wong, Chow Yunfat, Jacky Cheung) and how one minor accident involving telephone lines throws everyone's lives into chaos. Like any festive comedy, there's a happy reunion that brings the entire family together in the end, but messy path along the way is paved with comical misunderstandings, physical comedy and a whole lot of star cameos.
