MONEY CRAZY (1977)
 

Money Grazy was the first of the many comedies which Woo made for Golden Harvest. It was casted with a comic superstar Ricky Hui (one of notorious Hui brothers) and Richard Ng (actor who did a lot comedies in '70s and '80s, also was in Jackie Chans My Lucku Stars serie). Our two 'heroes' get big money fast. When this film became big commercial success, a box-office hit actually, after that Woo was allowed to do many comedies and nothing but comedies only. Woo began to feel like being cursed for not to allowed to do films he would have liked to do.
