Sing (Chow) is one of the top policemen on the force but still lacks the skills needed in team exercises.  The commissioner approaches him to go to undercover in a school where some pupils have stolen his gun (not just any old gun, it's his favourite one).  Sing hated school so for him it is like the return to the depths of hell and he struggles to blend in.  Whilst hot on the trail of the missing gun Sing discovers a weapon smuggling ring run by the Triads and, with the help of his fellow pupils, aims to bring them to justice.

This action/comedy affair from the early 90s is an excellent vehicle for all concerned.  From it's opening parody of a police training exercise to the blistering gun battle with the Triads, 'Fight Back To School' is an extremely enjoyable and well put together production.  It showcases Chow's comedic talents perfectly as well as bolstering his partnership with Ng Man Tat that, by this stage, is so finely tuned that they can do the routines blindfolded and still come up with some of the funniest footage around.  It's also worth noting that Chow is a trained martial artist and finally gets the chance to show off some of his nifty footwork in this role.

If you're tired of the same old action movies and fancy a little humour in between the mix then this is the film for you.  It firmly established Chow's status as the king of Canto-comedy and definitely deserves five stars.
