Synopsis by Mark Deming
A man trying to win the heart of a cop decides that breaking a few laws may be just the way to do it in this manic physical comedy. Su Da-chuan (Chu Chung-heng) is a cab driver who comes from an eccentric family; his mother (Cheng Hsiu-ying) is the city coroner and uses a head in a jar as a paperweight, while his sister (Tsai Tsan-de) concocts new drugs for a pharmaceutical firm, and his father (Cheung Ka-nin) runs a taxi service and revels in traffic accidents. So when Su Da-chuan is pulled over for a moving violation by a pretty female cop, Chuang Ching-wen (Rie Miyazawa), he's immediately infatuated and decides he wants to win her over. His strategy? To get so many tickets that Chuang Ching-wen can't help but notice him, and then she's bound to fall in love with him! Yun Zhuanshou Zhi Lian was co-directed by Chang Hwa-kun and Chen Yi-wen; Haw-kun, previously a noted producer, directed for the first time.
