Kwah- Hee Special: Petaling Street Warriors (大英雄。小男人)

Won a pair of Gala Premiere Tickets to catch this “ Jidut ” comedy flick

Synopsis: Set against the background of Petaling Street in 1908, Petaling Street Warriors tells the story of a pair of married couple, Shi Duyao (Mark Lee) and Zhung Lichun (Yeo Yann Yann), who operate a Hokkien mee stall in Petaling Street, where they suffer from the inefficiency of the colonial government and suppression by the Chinese gangsters. While trying to impress his wife, Duyao encounters a mysterious yet strikingly beautiful kungfu expert, Xiaoju (Chris Tong), who claims that Duyao is a descendant of the missing Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty. To stop a group of Qing warriors and Japanese ninjas from robbing a treasure map that Duyao doesn't even know he has, Lichun and her cousin, Liukun (Namewee), finally reveal their kungfu, turning Petaling Street into the ultimate battleground. Facing enemies of unthinkable powers, could Duyao unravel the mystery of his real identity and come to his wife's rescue just in time?.


Production Budget,Duration of production:
A whooping Big Three Million Ringgit (About 1.5 million) budget. 2 years of productions,from Pre to Post Production.

My Take: A film which got me burst into laughter and buang-ing away from its beginning to its end...A film made with sincerity and all hearts out from all the cast.
With a whooping 1.5 million SGD budget with casts from both Singapore and Malaysia,this is the first Martial-Comedy film made in collaboration between Singapore and Malaysia Artistes. Incomparable with Mission Impossible 4:Ghost Protocol production budget of 5 billion USD.

Started off with the traditional "Once upon a time,there is this town..." setting involving 400 casts and crews on set depicting Petaling Street to some "cool kicks" fighting scenes like this....
 to something naughty and whacky...you got to check the film out if you want to find out what am I referring to.


A couple of cameo appearances by Henry Thia and a legend character came back to life after missing for 20 years...Got to find out who is it by checking out the film lah!


"Petaling Street Warriors will screening at Shaw Theatres Exclusively on 29 Dec 2011...Rated PG13."
*Special Sneaks on 23 Dec-26 Dec *

My Rating: 4/5
