The Magnificent Scoundrels
ComedyCrime96 min
Valentino, a mediocre con artist in Hong Kong, crosses paths with fellow hustler Kwan, and the two turn impersonation into a business model. Their small-time scams keep multiplying — new identities, new marks, new schemes for quick cash — until a separate plot involving gangsters starts colliding with their own. Stephen Chow leads the film’s swindle-heavy chaos, with Teresa Mo, Wu Ma, and Amy Yip among the faces moving through a story built on disguises, crossed signals, and competing cons.
