Asian Movie Weekend: Mr Coconut
You Tube ^ | 1989

Being sick with pneumonia has meant I haven't done one of these in a while. I also have a new computer but the names on the ping list are still on the old one which I no longer have. I apologize on both counts.

Most of the time the Hui brothers movies were series of gags stitched together by the thinnest of plots. This one is much better and reminds me of Abbott and Costello (Only with three people instead of two)

This is a movie about the misfortunes of a working class Hong Kong family incur when the country-bumpkin brother-in Law from rural Hainan Island moves in with them in their already crowded government housing flat.

In HD w/English Subtitles

Starring: Sam Hui, Michael Hui & Ricky Hui.

Enjoy

Thanks. I saw a documentary years ago about the great Chinese migration that sees workers go back to their family home each New Year.

100,000,000 million people all using planes, trains and (some) automobiles to see family, all within a two - three week period.

Fascinating for me, as well as the Hong Kong films. More people in a couple of blocks than our entire county in Texas.
