The feature debut by Taiwanese director I-fan Wang tells a story whose sociopolitical commentary becomes obvious right from the very first image. “If you choose the wrong movie, you only have to wait 90 minutes; if you choose the wrong legislator, you have to wait four years” is the opening text to “Get the Hell Out”, a wild mixture of horror film and comedy, which is now screening at genre festivals such as Fantasy Filmfest 2020. Similar to his previous short features like “Temple of the Devilbuster” I-fan Wang inserts a portrayal of his home country’s politics and society, this time within a satirical context, highlighting the phrase that in the end matters becomes so bad, you need to “get the hell out”.

Comedy is such a tricky thing to get right. Different languages and cultures mean that what plays well in one country may be incomprehensible to another. Slapstick is therefore more universal as visually it is easier to understand. With “They Came to Rob Hong Kong” we potentially have a classic example of what Hong Kong did so well in the golden era. That gelling together of fast paced action and knockabout humour that is unlike anything seen elsewhere. With a solid cast of both comedians and action stars, what could possibly go wrong?
Rick (Roy Cheung) barely escapes being captured by the police headed up by the Superintendent (Kara Hui). Plotting revenge, he hires a motley collection of misfits in China to use as a diversion from his actual intentions. Bringing them back to Hong Kong, he plans for them to rob a bank whilst he captures a politician and the superintendent.
