Two pedicab drivers love a baker and a prostitute who work for abusive bosses. They must help them escape their oppressive workplaces.
An outlandish mix of slapstick, romance, drama and high-voltage kung fu from legendary martial arts filmmaker Sammo Hung (The Prodigal Son). Pay the fare and take the ride in Pedicab Driver! Lo Tung (Hung) and his friend Malted Candy (Max Mok, Once Upon a Time in China II-V) are lowly pedicab drivers looking for love in old Macau, where life is hard and one brawl leads to another. But when they each meet their perfect love match, their romantic dreams hit a wall of harsh reality as both women work for cruel and abusive bosses. Now Lo and Malted Candy must figure out how to win their ladies' hearts while helping them escape the chains of societal slavery. Producer/director/star Sammo Hung is joined by a colorful ensemble cast that includes Nina Li-Chi (Tiger on the Beat), Corey Yuen (Millionaires' Express), Maria Cordero (City on Fire), and the legendary Lau Kar-leung (Drunken Master II), serving up a thick slice of expertly choreographed chaos that will simultaneously break your heart and split your sides in laughter in this long overdue 4K restoration.
