Lawyer Lawyer

Lawyer Lawyer Cantonese , Jyutping syun3 sei2 cou2, literally compute death weed is a 1997 Hong Kong comedy film produced, directed and cowritten by Joe Ma.

Stephen Chow stars as Chan MongGut, a famous Chinese lawyer who was killed in the Qing dynasty. He must defend his apprentice, Foon, who has been framed for murder in Hong Kong. Being the third worst lawyer in China, he challenges the British legal system with no evidence on hand and manages to identify the killer in a hilarious way.The film was released during the same year as the Transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong. As the film deals specifically with the issue of justice, it can be interpreted as responding to the fears of the PRC takeover and to the general uncertainty of what that meant to the people of Hong Kong. The film promotes a normative vision of justice that can prevail over any tyranny, suggesting that knowledge of law, and the freedom to express it, is more important than brute strength as embodied by the trials and tribulations of Chang MongGut over countless foes. ........
