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.
