Success Hung, an ace cell phone salesman who his feeling the heat from young, up and comer Miss Cheng. One day, Hung witnesses a mob hit. Though the panic-stricken salesman tries to tell his friends about the incident, Hung's gift for exaggeration in the past makes everyone suspicion of his claims except for a relative the deceased who comes to believe that Hung pulled the trigger.
Sammo Hung's Slickers vs. Killers from 1991 is one of his later directorial works and is characterised by a wild, unconventional genre mix that doesn't really want to harmonise. The plot revolves around the goofy telephone salesman Success Hung, who is always telling his wife, a tough policewoman, some exaggerated claim, so that she hardly ever buys anything from him afterwards. This prompts him to see a psychologist. One day, Hung sees two killers at work and only just escapes when they spot him. Of course, no one believes him in this incident either.
The fights are expectedly good, Sammo has fun chemistry with Carol Cheng, and because of this this film is mildly entertaining, however the film can be baffling with overlong scenes with misguided humour ( Cheng accusing Hung of rape) which stifle the momentum of the pace, diminishing the story focus. For Sammo Hung fans only.
