About To Spy with Love!!
Terry (Teddy Robin), a diminutive rock enthusiast and manager of all-girl band The Playgirls, finds himself caught up in a chaotic espionage caper. After two bumbling Japanese hitmen tear apart a rock bar in search of the spy Yap and a hidden treasure map, Terry is wrongly blamed and storms out. He soon discovers the dying Yap in his car, and with her last breath she conceals the map on one of his posters. As the police close in, Terry falls for Inspector Nina, convinced that she shares his feelings, while spy chief Mak and his incompetent assassins continue their frantic pursuit of the missing map.
Directed by Peter Mak Tai-Kit, To Spy with Love!! leans on a strong ensemble — Nina Li Chi, Sibelle Hu Hui-Chung, Teddy Robin — 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 1990.
