Fight Back To School (simplified Chinese: 逃学威龙; traditional Chinese: 逃學威龍) is a 1991 Hong Kong comedy film directed by Gordon Chan and starring Stephen Chow. It is one of the more successful films Chow was able to make during his more prolific years, arguably due to the commercial and critical success of 1990's All For The Winner. The talented cast features many of Chow's would-be long-term collaborators, such as Cheung Man and Ng Man-Tat, who both starred in All For The Winner. Owing to this success, the film spawned two successful sequels in 1992, and in 1993, as well as a spin-off, which retained much of the cast.
[edit] Plot
Star Chow (Stephen Chow) is about to be kicked out of the Royal Hong Kong Police's elite Special Duties Unit (SDU). But a senior officer decides to give him one last chance: Star must go undercover as a student at the Edinburgh High School in Hong Kong to recover the senior officer's missing revolver.
The undercover operation is made complicated when Star is partnered with Tat - an aging, incompetent police detective (Ng Man-Tat). However, Star still manages to fall in love with Ms Ho (Cheung Man), the school's guidance counselor, as well as disrupting a gang involved in arms-dealing.
