The Legendary La Rose Noire (1992)

Released as 92 Legendary La Rose Noire. Jeffrey Lau's comedy is a fond, ridiculous tribute to Black Rose, the vigilante of Chor Yuen's 1960s Hong Kong films, in which a novelist who imitates the heroine ends up kidnapped by the real Black Rose's apprentices. Much of the fun is in how lovingly it mimics the look and manners of those old pictures, and it still works if you have never seen one. Tony Leung Chiu-wai, in a rare goofy turn, won Best Actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards, and Fung Bo Bo took Best Supporting Actress.
