Dog Bites Dog Bone

In 1975, Nancy Sit and Michael Lai co-hosted the variety show Nancy and Michael, which became a sensation. Its success helped the stars to extend their popularity back to the big screen as co-directors and co-stars. Two vegetable peddlers (Sit and Cora Miao), two pork peddlers (Lai and Ng Man-tat) and an orange seller (Lo Hoi-pang) chip in to purchase a lottery ticket. When they win the lottery, the orange seller who safeguards the ticket ends up in the mental hospital. To get the prize money, the remaining four run across the city on a wild-goose chase. This uproarious comedy about the extreme measures taken by people for money was a big hit in Southeast Asia, selling out over 300 screenings. In addition to the leading cast, the film also features young Leslie Cheung and comedy legend Ricky Hui, who took on a cameo role in the film.
