Miracles: Mister Canton and Lady Rose

Pratfall antics and skilful martial arts sequences highlight this delightfully wacky, 139-minute, 1989 Chinese remake of Frank Capras A Pocketful of Miracles in which luck changes for a broke, acrobatic Chinese man (Jackie Chan) in 1930s Hong Kong when he ends up as the new leader of the Black Dragon gang after he buys a rose from a flower vendor (Ah Leh Gua), who he and his new girlfriend (Anita Mui) help save face when her engaged daughter (Gloria Yip) arrives from Shanghai with her fiancée.
