Cast Member: Deanie Ip

Normally the framework of such a film is at least clichéd, but here it is simply bizarre and uninvolving.

This film has no happy endings or easy ways out; it grips on to its audience and just refuses to let go.

What could have been a classic is rendered merely enjoyable by the prominence of some very weak comedy.

While not offering the very finest of Sammo’s work, ‘The Owl Vs Bombo’ is an entertaining and worthwhile slice of 80’s Hong Kong cinema.

As with all of the ‘Pom Pom’ films, the emphasis is on comedy and specifically the interplay between Shum and Ng.
