Mainland Dundee

About This Movie

Mainland Dundee is a curious blend of comedy and caper, with a plot that revolves around Fung, an underdog who’s sent to Hong Kong to tackle an antique smuggling case. The film has a light-hearted tone, mixed with some zany twists that keep you guessing. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it adds to the charm, almost like a quirky sitcom. The practical effects are surprisingly engaging, considering the era, and the performances have that delightful, offbeat energy. It's not trying to be anything extravagant, just a fun ride through some cultural misadventures, with a healthy dose of slapstick that might tickle the right audience. Definitely one for collectors who enjoy the oddities of early '90s comedies.

Underappreciated comedy from the '90s. · Unique cultural perspective on smuggling. · Interesting mix of humor and action.
