OllieSuave-007 This isn't a bad Hong Kong horror comedy, starring Ricky Hui as a musician who wants to impress his dream girl by making a deal with the Devil. However, a Catholic priest (Paul Chun) meets up with him and tries to convince him to repent because he has sold his soul to the devil and needs to reclaim it.The humor and drama were quite good and tastefully done, with some decent acting. Stanley Fung makes a good villain playing the Devil's assistant, as does Paul Chun playing the priest. The two dueling it out is a classic good vs. evil tour-de-force and is pretty entertaining to watch.There are some goofy moments in some of the supporting characters, and even Ricky Hui does his fair share of goofiness. But still, it's not a bad horror comedy that is serviceable for some much-needed TV time on a slow day.Grade B-

dbborroughs Amusing comedy with a priest reincarnated in order to save the soul that a reincarnated disciple of the devil has decided he is going to give to his lord and master. The guy chosen is a sweet schlub of a guy who wants to be a great singer.Better than several recent Hong Kong comedies I've seen, this film actually has some laughs and a trying to actually be movie and not just some people being silly in front of the camera. I'm guessing that it helps that John Woo is behind the camera since Woo clearly knows how to make a good film. To be honest I didn't know going in that Woo directed the film, I only found out when I went to post this comment which is nice since it means that the film really works on its own terms and is worth seeing because its good and not because a good director made it.

Joseph P. Ulibas To Hell With The Devil (1981) is an entertaining version of the cult comedy Bedazzled. Ricky Hui stars as Bruce Lee (Not the fighter, he tells a young lady) a struggling singer/songwriter who'll do anything to be successful. One day, he meets a minion of the devil (played by Stanley Fung). He also meets a servant from god (Paul Chun) the two constantly fight over the soul of Ricky. Nat Chan plays a sleazy Pop Star who benefits greatly from Ricky's stolen song book. Will the Devil take Ricky's soul or will it belong to God? Check it out. As with all of John Woo's films, he reuses many action set pieces that show up in his later films.Recommended for John Woo and Ricky Hui fans.
