{"product_id":"4897033396486","title":"The Crazy Companies","description":"Bearing more than a passing resemblance to such American comedies as \u003ci\u003eTommy Boy\u003c\/i\u003e, this fairly amusing entry from prolific Hong Kong filmmaker Wong Jing stars Andy Lau as Tsui Ting-kwai, the heir to half of a ten-billion-dollar fortune. The only catch is that Ting-kwai has to work competently as an office boy for six months or his half of the money goes to his scheming brother. Naturally, Ting-kwai's brother is determined to sabotage him, and hires three morons to work with him in order to reflect negatively on Ting-kwai's own performance. Numerous comic set pieces follow, including a good deal of slapstick involving hypnosis, mistaken identity, misdiagnoses of AIDS (a popular comic theme in Hong Kong that year -- see \u003ci\u003eCouples, Couples, Couples\u003c\/i\u003e), people pretending to be blind, and the inevitable Bruce Lee references. Eventually, the four co-workers become friends and team up to thwart Ting-kwai's brother at his own game. Chingmy Yau leads a familiar supporting cast including Stanley Fung, Charlie Cho, Yung Sai-kit, and Sandra Ng. Followed in 1989 by \u003ci\u003eThe Crazy Companies II\u003c\/i\u003e.","brand":"SUPER D INDEPENDENT DIST.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47087320301808,"sku":"4897033396486","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/4897033396486","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
