The storyline has ups and downs, the middle plan, the middle game, the editing is also very powerful, the earliest Hong Kong gambling films, but the plot is somewhat "one-sided", not so exciting.

It is the same series as "God of Gamblers" and "Gambler", which can be used as a follow-up to "God of Gamblers". Andy Lau, Stephen Chow, and Wu Mengda performed on the same stage, a classic that is difficult to reproduce.

Stephen Chow's early nonsense films, low-cost small productions, but its box office is very high, coupled with Liu Zhenwei's directing, the response is very good.

This film is a classic in Wang Jing's works, a combination of Chow Yun Fat, Andy Lau, Wang Zuxian, Zhang Min, handsome men and beautiful women, eye-catching and enjoyable. Zhou Runfa's acting skills in it are very good, and the two completely different Gao Jin before and after the amnesia are interpreted very well.
The plot is the most clichéd "the god is amnesiac, betrayed by intimate people, protected by strangers, and the return of the king after the memory is restored", but the protagonist has excellent acting skills, super high appearance, except for the slightly sloppy and hasty ending, the others are very good.
