Money Crazy

Money Crazy (Chinese: 發錢寒; pinyin: Fā qián hàn), also known as The Pilferer's Progress[1][2] or Hired Guns, is a 1977 Hong Kong action comedy film directed by John Woo.

"[9] Reviewer Kenneth Brorsson of sogoodreviews.com wrote, "for several years, John Woo dabbled in comedy collaborations with Ricky Hui, starting with Money Crazy.

Slow pace dominate from the start and the style of comedy, while universal, is often the pratfall accompanied by silly sound effect-kind, leading only to mild amusement.

Ricky Hui is strangely distant which can be due to this not being a vehicle together with his brothers Michael and Sam but Richard Ng pretty much is responsible for any laughs in Money Crazy.

"[10] Reviewer Andrew Saroch of fareastfilms.com gave the film a rating of 3 out of 5 stars, writing, "Taking some obvious cues from the 70s hits of Michael Hui, 'Money Crazy' is an episodic musing on the money-hungry attitude of a few ordinary men.

Woo's handling of the material lacks the exquisite touches that made Hui's classics milestones in Hong Kong and his control over the proceedings – as seen in his other comedies – is found wanting.

"[13] Reviewer Andrew Heskins of easternkicks.com gave the film a rating of 3.5 out of 5 stars, writing, "pay close attention and you see Woo use the same painstaking care he would to orchestrate his grand action sequences as he does to set them up.

[15] The review on serp.media reads, "The movie features a thrilling plot that revolves around Ducky, a character hired by Rich Chen to transport “diamonds” stolen from Uncle Pai Mary.
