Chicken and Duck Talk (Hong Kong, 1988)


Chicken and Duck Talk

Hong Kong | 1988 | D: Clifton Ko


The first time I saw this movie was on CCTV’s movie channel in mainland China. Without English subtitles. And I was laughing my head off – you didn’t need to understand it; the language of humour was strong with this movie. But it’s even better when you watch a version with English subtitles though!

What we have here is a very traditional Hong Kong restaurant owner. He has a small shop that specialises in its Duck dishes. He has a secret recipe and doesn’t let anyone else prepare the ducks, yet they were to learn the art of the spices.
