A seasoned veteran of the Chinese New Year extravaganza, Raymond Wong returns with a rollicking comedy this festive season in An Inspector Calls! As is standard for a Chinese New Year film, the cast is stacked with top-level talent, including Louis Koo ( Dont Go Breaking My Heart 2), Teresa Mo ( Hotel Deluxe), Eric Tsang ( Horseplay), Gordon Lam ( Overheard 3), Chrissie Chau ( Break Up 100), Karena Ng ( Hello Babies) & Zhang Han, among many others. What is less standard is director-producer-star Raymond Wongs choice of source material. The film is adapted from English playwright J.B. Priestlys 1945 play of the same name. Wong & company have reinvented the thrilling drawing room mystery as a raucous black comedy.
Just as the fabulously wealthy Mr. & Mrs. Kau (Eric Tsang & Teresa Mo) are preparing for their beloved daughter Sherry (Karena Ng) & her fianc Johnnys (Zhang Han) engagement party, an unwanted distraction barges in on the festivities in the form of Inspector Karl (Louis Koo), whos investigating the apparent suicide of a pregnant young woman, Cindy Cheung (Chrissie Chau). It turns out that Cindy, whether through work or other more scandalous means, was acquainted with every single member of the Kau family. What ensues thereafter is a wacky investigation that threatens to reveal the Kau familys most shocking secrets.
