Iron-beaked Hen's Sudden Rise to Power

The 'Iron-beaked Hen' is one of Tang Bik-wan's iconic comedic characters in her prolific career. She dresses up in multiple roles in a variety of settings along with Leung Sing-por in the film. Together with Leung Mo-sheung and Chow Kwun-ling, the ensemble cast shines on the silver screen. When travelling to the city to resolve conflicts for the elderly (Wong Cho-shan), Iron-beaked Hen and her assistant Fatso Bo rescue the lovers To (Leung Mo-sheung) and Yu (Chow Kwun-ling) who plan to commit suicide together. It turns out To's uncle forces him to marry someone in order to seize the family fortune. The resourceful Iron-beaked Hen devises a clever plot to swap the bride. She and Bo even pretend to be the wedding chaperone and county magistrate. Sparks fly when the sharp-witted Tang shares the screen with comedy master Leung Sing-por, creating sharp contrast between being svelte and fat, and sharp wit and brazen silliness. Their onscreen chemistry makes this film a buoyant and joyful spectacle.
