All Night Long
Film 夜瘋狂 (All Night Long)
Country Hong Kong
Director Tai Kit Mak
Year 1989
Cast Cheng Yu-Ling, Fung Shiu-Fan, Kwok Kam-Yan
Details Colour 90 minutes

Plot: an ill-assorted group of women suddenly find themselves with a pile of stolen money. And the dead body of a bank robber who expired in the convenience store they are in. As they try to clean up in various ways they contend with customers and police. But just as fortune seems to be smiling the rest of the manic bank gang turn up . . .

One of those films that just seems to work for me. Deft stylish direction. Changes of pace and mood which keep things bubbling along. Very funny and colourful.
