Justice, My Foot! (1992)

A courtroom comedy in Qing dynasty costume. Stephen Chow plays Sung Sai-kit, the slipperiest lawyer in Guangdong, who has retired to run his businesses until a suspicious murder drags him back to court, with Anita Mui as his formidable wife. Mui handles the occasional fight scene; Chow handles everything else with his mouth, and the fun is in the rapid-fire legal trickery, much of it built on Cantonese wordplay that subtitles struggle to carry. Johnnie To directs, and the pairing of Chow's motor-mouth and Mui's dry authority is one of the best of his career.
