Celebrity cook Roast Pork (Jordan Chan) is known for his culinary sleight of hand, but hardly anyone realizes he used to be a young and dangerous slayer who cut human flesh rather than poultry meat. Now a family man who strives to be a caring father, he finds his idyllic life turn topsy-turvy when his Triad mentor comes out of nowhere and commands him to run for the Dragon Head in the underworld.

Roast Pork's only chance to extricate himself from this quagmire is to lose the election to another candidate called Sparrow (Ekin Cheng), who supposedly is the designated heir apparent to the previous kingpin. Ironically enough, Sparrow has found his true calling in academia while serving terms in prison. He has set his mind to getting into the best university in Hong Kong rather than re-donning his Triad cloak.

While these two reluctant candidates are racking their brains to outwit each other so that they can stay out of the race, their inglorious pasts eventually catch up with them as their followers are plunged into mayhem and bloodshed on pain of death to get their leaders onto the throne.

The script was rather well written with comic scences that will make you laugh !! To each their own, personally i find it a nice trip down memory lane to Ekin and Jordan previous hits of Y&D movies... :)

Althought some people will feel this movie is lame or plainly stupid, I can say this movie is really funny as the director can come out with funny ideas that will make you laugh out loud. My friends, gf and I really have a good time laughing.

Very dragging and some part is boring and lame show. I think is to fight over the "MONGA" show. Both lame.Just that MONGA is slightly half a mark better. The Background effect is so lousy. I think is onli wasting our time and my money.Disappointment.

The movie effects were terribly done, the comedic moments completely missed the mark & the story is often nonsensical. The premise of the movie lends to a possibly interesting film, but here it just loses it’s direction.
