Hollywood Hong Kong is set in a shanty town called Tai Hom Village which is situated right next to the modern sky-rise residential towers known simply as Plaza Hollywood (which is in East Kowloon). This village, to be shortly torn down and rebuilt by the government, resides many villagers who make a living by owning small shops in the area. Boss Chu and his two sons are examples of these people, and they spend their normal lives by roasting their own barbecue pork and selling them to the public.

The story basically kicks off when a girl enters their idyllic lives. Obviously her appearance and accent betrays her as a mainlander, but her youthfulness and sex appeal are qualities that attracts these men. After all, it is not everyday that these people get a real-life glimpse of a girl oozing sex-appeal. Boss Chu and his two sons soon fall under her sway, but the funny aspect is in the age difference: Boss Chu is old enough to be her father, while his first son is a fat-arsed teenager, and the youngest is still in primary school. However, the girl's charms are enough to bewitch the three of them, and the two elder Chus find themselves in a lucky (or unfortunate) position to have sex with her, seemingly at her initiation.

Fruit Chan likes to make films about normal people, and when you watch his films you would often notice that there seem to be a documentary feel to the imagery. He likes to dump the viewer into the lives of these ordinary folk, who you may have bumped into or may have bought pork from. Yet the underlying notion is what these people get up to in the background. Boss Chu is really a pervert; he likes young girls, and the appearance of this young mainland girl is definitely a turn-on for this fat bastard, whose only entertainment is the solicitation with local prostitutes.

What Fruit Chan wants the viewers to understand is that lust is a two-edged blade that can easily hurt you. Succumb to it and you will reap the rewards as well as the consequences. Each of the characters, except the little boy, is an example of what it will get you in the end, and to a certain sad extent, I find it mildly amusing that a girl (and not even a great looking one, in my opinion) can have such an effect on these people. She uses her power to milk all the benefits by ensnaring the lot of them in a highly profitable scam.

But Hollywood Hong Kong isn't really that good, and there are plenty of boring parts littered around. The first part is quite interesting as we see how the girl seduces the men, but the second half soon degenerates into disbelievability as each improbable moment happens by. It is amusing at times but in a dark way, and it'll have you shaking your head in bemusement. Not on a par with Chan's previous work.
