Comment allez vous! Monsieur


French greeting... Comment allez vous pronouce as "com mon ta le voo" in English translation meaning "how you doing". To some people like me, it carries another meaning altogether. Strangely and absurdly as it may sound, whenever my french mates greeted me, they make me think of a movie.



You start to wonder what is the relation between simple greeting and God of Gamblers III: Back to Shanghai.


Plot (source wikipedia)

After the events in God of Gamblers II, Tai-Kun who lost his ESP powers has regained the abilities again and decides to strike revenge towards Sing, the Saint of Gamblers. When Tai-Kun, with his condisciples as aids, is exerting ESP powers under full force against Sing who are doing the same, the spacetime becomes distorted and sends Tai-Kun and Sing to the 1937 Shanghai.

Meeting Sing's own grandfather Chow Tai Fook and the benign millionaire Ding Lik, Sing, in the meantime, must face the forthcoming crises arose from Ding Lik's foes and Japanese military forces, deal with his "mistaken" crush on one of a twin sisters, get to see for himself that who is the one that defeated the French "God of Gamblers" Pierre Cashon in that era - the mysterious "Comment allez-vous (cum-mun-ta-low-foo in cantonese pronunciation)", and finally find out how to travel back to year 1991 Hong Kong...
