Description:
The great SAMMO HUNG (Eastern Condors, The Prodigal Son, Project A) directs and stars in this sizzling action comedy! Two pickpockets find themselves both falling for their latest prey, a beautiful woman who turns out to be a police inspector. In return for their freedom, the two agrees to help her retrieve millions of dollars worth of diamonds from a ferocious mobster. Filled with terrific action sequences, hilarious pickpocketing gags, and an awesome no-holds-barred fight finale!

Carry On Pickpocket is a tedious action comedy about lovable sneak thieves who team up with the cops to entrap some mobsters who are making life tough for everyday decent crooks. Sammo Hung (TV's Martial Law does his standard wistful fat-nebbish number--until he's either dancing or fighting, when the joke becomes how surprisingly graceful he is. (Thugs in HK movies have been saying 'Hey, fatty' to him, and then paying dearly for it, for quite a few years now.) Some of the pickpocketing scenes, and the later full-bore action stuff, are almost up to Hung's mature standard (Eastern Condors), and for a supposed comedy the movie is often startlingly vicious. For completists only. --David Chute

The story is about 2 friends whp pickpocket for a living. ... Read More
