Ohmygod is the bumbling "hero" who meets some beautiful girls. From afar he admires pretty Yandy (Athene Chu) whom he calls Dkny. She is nurse to wealthy Mr. Go who has just found his daughter Sylvia. Ohmygod becomes a body-guard to protect Sylvia from her jealous brother and wife. The King of Tricks torments people with some fairly funny gimmicks, e.g., non-fading face paint, physiological poisons, lust-provoking smoke etc. Mandarin and English subtitles.

About as funny as a knee to the groin.

The third in the 'Tricky' series of films, Tricky King is another bonkers mix of bizarre slapstick comedy, speeded up chases, silly sound effects and practical-jokery from producer Wong Jing. Eric Kot stars as Ohmygod, a bumbling nice-guy who joins a gang of professional 'tricksters' who are employed by the son of a rich businessman to trick his half-sister.
The film is basically a series of wacky comedy scenes which run the gamut from slightly amusing to downright awful and, once again, I found myself struggling desperately to understand the Chinese sense of humour. Only the fact that the film featured a trio of very attractive ladies (Athena Chu, Lee Ann, and the buxom Sherming Yiu) stopped it from being a complete waste of celluloid; the three beauties parade about in skimpy outfits and do their best to detract the audience from the fact that the film is embarrassingly unfunny.
