The Fun, the Luck & the Tycoon

Jun 29—Jul 2, 2025
    Part of
  • Remakes, Ripoffs & Reinterpretations
  • and
  • BAM Film 2025
Directed by Johnnie To (1990)
With Chow Yun-Fat, Sylvia Chang, Nina Li Chi, Lawrence Cheng Tan-Shui, Wong Kwan-Yuen, Steve Wong Ka-Keung, Wong Ka-Kui, Paul Wong, Koon-Chung, Yip Sai-Wing
Starring the charismatic Chow Yun-fat as Lam Bo Sun, Hong Kong's wealthiest man, this loose (but knowing) take on Coming to America follows his whimsical journey as he escapes the confines of high society and an arranged marriage to find genuine love and purpose. Disguised as a humble busboy, Lam falls head over heels for the spirited Hung Leung Yuk (Sylvia Chang). A winning blend of slapstick, social satire, and romance, The Fun, the Luck & the Tycoon was the 12th film directed by prolific cult-darling Johnnie To, whose directorial filmography includes 65 films over more than four decades.
