All for the Winner (Chinese:賭聖;lit. 'Saint of Gambling') is a 1990 Hong Kongcomedy film, directed byJeffrey Lau andCorey Yuen, and starringStephen Chow. It was the first movie ever in Hong Kong to cross the HK$40 million (HK$41,326,156.00) mark in the Hong Kong box office.[1] It was a parody ofGod of Gamblers (1989), and due to its success it spawned a sequel,God of Gamblers II (1990), which featured characters from the original God of Gamblers.
Sing (Stephen Chow) is a mainland China country boy who arrives in Hong Kong to visit his Uncle "Blackie Tat" (Ng Man-tat). When Sing stays with his uncle and his friends in their apartment, Blackie soon learns of Sing's supernatural ability to see through objects and, later on, his ability to change playing cards by rubbing them. He takes advantage of this and turns Sing into theDou Seng or the "Saint of Gamblers". After getting into a fight with several alleyway gamblers he meets the lovelyYee-mung a.k.a. "Lady Dream" (lit. trans: Beautiful Dream, but euphemistically aswet dream), a henchman for the "King of Gamblers", and becomes infatuated with her. Sing quickly becomes a rival to the King and must win his way through a world competition to prove his skill.
