All the wrong Spies(1983) is a kind of non related sequel to Tsui Hark's 1981's All the wrong Clues, which is somehow even more enjoyable and funny than the first. The Addition of Brigitte lin made the film even more better and allowed the newly Popular Great Tsui Hark to continue on his path of success which will be even more prominent in the coming decades for both Lin and Hark. This slapstick comedy, is a comedic take on Casablanca(1942) and in some amounts To Catch a Thief(1955)(the cat burglar),and delivers well in both comic timing and narrative ; considering the viewer is not to picky about perfection. In all it is a great film to enjoy allowing us to view the early performance of brigitte lin previously her incoming immense stardom in Hong Kong Cinema. Teddy robin (the small Cop) and George Lam(yoyo Detective) have also given good performance like the previous film. A light comedy, enjoyable by everyone.

A really enjoyable Brigitte lin film that every fan will like.
Superior sequel
This is the sequel to ALL THE WRONG CLUES FOR THE RIGHT SOLUTION, made two years after the first film. Tsui Hark has departed as director, although he appears in a supporting role here (as a Japanese character called Hiroshima, no less!). Diminutive co-star Teddy Robin Kwan takes over the directorial reins and the end result is a film that's a big improvement on the first. The comedy comes faster and funnier than before and the film's simple Macguffin allows plenty of time for silly chases, juvenile sketches, and the usual randomness you find in Hong Kong cinema. George Lam's straight man is goofier and better than before, too, and given strong support by the likes of Paul Chun as the traitor villain and a bevy of glamorous starlets, including Brigitte Lin.
A Decent Spy Spoof
This is the story of Yoyo (George Lam),who is hired to be the go between of a Jewish scientist an an American who is going to have the secret to the atomic bomb during World War 2. This is a silly film, all over the map. Its kind of like the Leslie Nielsen spoofs that proliferated the movie screens for years. That is not necessarily a bad thing however, and the inclusion of the beautiful Brigitte Lin is very welcome. She is probably the best thing about this film, as she makes you take notice, and not only for her beauty. A nonsense 90 minutes plus film, its a somewhat fun way to pass the time. You're not expecting profundity and you're not going to get it. It aims low ans succeeds. If you like spoof films, go ahead and try it.
