So, 'Promising Young Boy' from '87 is quite the quirky gem in the comedy scene. You've got this group of young Taekwondo enthusiasts β Pang, Paul Wong, Sam Wong, among others β all from different walks of life, kinda like a misfit crew. They head off to a contestant village for training, but the real charm lies in their camaraderie and constant pranks on the female swimmers nearby. The pacing is a bit all over the place, but it adds to the playful tone. Some of the practical effects during their Taekwondo demonstrations are surprisingly fun. Itβs lighthearted, with a nice balance of competition and friendship, making it distinctive in the comedy genre of that era. Not your typical sports flick for sure.
