Synopsis
Aces Go Places (最佳拍檔, 1982) is a Hong Kong action-comedy from Eric Tsang, ready to watch online on iFILM. A master thief is pushed into helping the police crack a case of stolen diamonds.
They make a terrible team, which is the whole point. Sam Hui plays the slick burglar who'd rather work solo, Karl Maka is the bald, bumbling cop, and Sylvia Chang is his no-nonsense police fiancée forever cleaning up their mess. The plot is just an excuse for the stunts: Bond-style gadgets, radio-controlled toy cars in a chase, and brawls staged with circus flair.
The film tore up the box office and became the highest-grossing Hong Kong release of its day, kicking off a long-running franchise. This is pure early-eighties spectacle — no pretensions, endless invention. It's for fans of vintage Hong Kong action and anyone who misses comedies where the stunt team outranks the script.
