This low-budget knockoff of God of Gamblers succeeds primarily due to an exuberant star-making turn from Stephen Chiau as Shing, a rube from the Chinese mainland who comes to Hong Kong to visit his uncle, Blackie Tat (Ng Man-tat). Blackie isn't thrilled about his nephew's visit until he learns that Shing has the ability to see through things, a sort of X-ray vision. As a gambler, it doesn't take Blackie long to realize that Shing's abilities could make him a great deal of money, but news travels
Unrated, 1 hr. 41 min.

A Stephen Chow film where he uses his mystical powers in the world of gambling. When it becomes known he has these powers, organized crime elements try to stop him. Very funny - long before Kung Fu Hustle or Shaolin Soccer Stephen Chow still had prime comedic skills.
