Description
Set amid the chaos of pre-revolutionary China, small time thief,
Sing (Stephen Chow), aspires to be one of the sophisticated and
ruthless Axe Gang whose underworld activities overshadow the city.
Stumbling across the crowded apartment complex aptly known as 'Pig
Sty Alley', Sing attempts to extort money from one of the ordinary
locals, but the neighbours are not what they appear. Sing's comical
attempts at intimidation inadvertantly attract the Axe Gang into
the fray, setting off a chain of events that brings the two
disparate worlds face-to-face. As the inhabitants of the Pig Sty
fight for their lives, the ensuing clash of Kung Fu titans unearths
some legendary martial arts masters. Sing, despite his futile
attempts, lacks the soul of a killer, and must face his own
mortality in order to discover the true nature of the Kung Fu
master.
