The effete, retiring, tired, slovenly everyday folk of Pig Sty Alley, a Shanghai slum, have some kungfu tricks up their sleeves when the not-so-dastardly Axe Gang muscles in on their territory, in this oddbod hit set in the 30s that combines wuxia thrills with cartoon fantasy, hilarious screwball and slapstick comedy, and a touching romance between Sing, a street crim whose heart isn't in it and Fong, a mute hawker.
★★★★☆
