Sing (Chow Sing Chi) is a humble waiter in a night club who is obsessed with comic books littered with examples of the glamorous gangster lifestyle.  As life imitates art, Sing one day finds himself in the middle of a gangland shootout and is able warn one of the big bosses so that he narrowly escapes death.  Saving a triad boss is of course a pretty big thing so Sing is offered a job within the organisation as a way of repaying the debt.  Teamed with Chun (Lam) and Bill (Fui On), Sing soon finds himself on the way to the top even though he is unable to shoot a gun, fight or perform any kind of criminal activities.  Of course, his liabilities do not go unnoticed and when it looks like Sing may cause problems his life suddenly becomes meaningless to the triads.

'My Hero' appeared at the backend of Chow Sing Chi's short liaison with the heroic bloodshed genre and as such, opts to throw a little comedy into the usual mix of action and drama.  This makes it an ideal vehicle for Chow as it allows him to display flashes of his comic persona (most notably some amusing parodies of gunplay flicks) mixed with his genuine acting ability that is often overshadowed.  It's also nice to see him teamed with veteran actors Wilson Lam and Shing Fui On, who always seem to slot into the background with uncanny ease and once again do themselves proud in both the action and acting departments.

It's unlikely that 'My Hero' will rise to the top of your 'must see' list but it is still a worthy addition to the Chow Sing Chi back catalogue.  The combination of talented actors and entertaining story make this a fun flick that will fit nicely into any Hong Kong film fan's collection.
