About It's a Mad, Mad, Mad World
Bill, a TV news reporter, tries to make ends meet to support himself, his wife and three daughters in urban Hong Kong. In the mist of the misadventures of Bill and his family, their luck and lives ultimately change when Bill's wife suddenly wins the lottery.
Directed by Clifton Ko Chi-Sum, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad World leans on a strong ensemble — Bill Tung Biu, Lydia Shum Tin-Ha, Elsie Chan Yik-Si — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1987.
