Parking Service (1986) User Reviews

Staid

[Leofwine_draca · 5/10 · 31 December 2021]

Another in an unending number of Hong Kong comedies released during the mid 1980s, this one featuring numerous ex-Shaw Brothers actors in the cast. I found it quite heavy going if I'm honest, mainly because the laughs are in short supply. A lot of this is made up of romance, thwarted and otherwise, and character drama, and you just wish it was a bit more lively, suspenseful or involving. Danny Lee, Parkman Wong, Ku Feng and of course Shing Fui-on are all fine actors in their own right and they're entertaining enough, but the script gives them little to work with and the direction is pedestrian. It's only at the very end where this all comes together.

Lee Ho Sau ( Danny Lee ) and few not so young guys find a job as a parking attendant in 1986 Hong Kong. Lee's buddy steals cars for hobby, Kao steals for parts. Kao stole a Mercedes from a parking lot of a high class condo. Lee checks up on Kao while Kao is stripping the car. Kao tells Lee that he can do whatever he wants to do with the car so Lee uses it to take a girl out on a date. While driving his girl, the car gets a flat tire. When Lee goes to check the spare tire, he finds over $1,000,000 U.S. bills in the trunk. Not knowing it's a fake, he tries to use it and gets caught. He sets up a sting operation with his friend officer Lau to entrap the man who's behind the counterfeits money.
