Love on Delivery (Limited Edition Slipcase BLU-RAY)
Ho Kam Ngan, a lowly food delivery boy, falls madly in love with a beautiful woman named Lily. The only problem is, a brutish Judo instructor named Black Bear (who also has eyes for Lily) embarrasses Ngan in front of her by making him look like a coward. Vowing to win over Lily's affection, Ngan begins learning martial arts from a supposed kung-fu master who is secretly just scamming Ngan out of his money. To make matters worse, Lily's old boyfriend returns and challenges Ngan to a martial arts tournament to prove who is the better man. Believing he is actually learning real kung-fu, Ngan accepts the fight and now must defend his honor to prove he is worthy of Lily's love.
Starring beloved Hong Kong comedy actor Stephen Chow (Kung-Fu Hustle, Shaolin Soccer) and directed by frequent collaborator Lik-Chi Lee, LOVE ON DELIVERY is an over-the-top martial arts comedy that pays tribute to the classic underdog story. Offering up off-the-wall fight scenes and numerous pop culture references, LOVE ON DELIVERY is an excellent example of the future talent we would see in Chow's later films. Vinegar Syndrome Archive is proud to present this zany fisticuffs Hong Kong comedy on Blu-ray for the first time in the U.S., scanned in 2K and newly restored from the original camera negative.
