King Of Beggars 01/26 Blu-ray (Rental)

King of Beggars - a comedic take on the story of famed martial artist and folk hero So Chan. At the dawn of the 1990s, following a decade in which Hong Kong martial arts cinema was dominated by Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung, a new superstar emerged: Stephen Chow. Chow rose to fame as the star of both the Fight Back to School and Royal Tramp series and King of Beggars - a comedic take on the story of famed martial artist and folk hero So Chan, which helped pave the way for Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle. So, Chan (Chow) is a naturally gifted martial artist - but lazy, unmotivated and spoiled by his wealthy parents. He is forced to make something of himself when he falls in love with Yu Shang (Sharla Cheung), a prostitute who agrees to marry him on one condition: that he enters and wins the upcoming imperial martial arts tournament.
