About Crazy Crooks
Slapstick movie about 2 swindlers, Kong Kun Chat (Karl Maka) and Moo Pi Chide (Dean Shek) who gambled with fake money with someone else to get back real money. At least Kong and Moo thought it was real money. Turned out the money was also fake, and a death warrent is issued for them. Luckily, a little kid Mak Tau saves their lives. - Yellow Hammer
Directed by Karl Maka, Crazy Crooks leans on a strong ensemble — Dean Shek Tin, Karl Maka, Alan Chan Kwok-Kuen — 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 1980.
