Synopsis
Ah Boon and his friends are trying to find some extra money
for themselves, so Ah Boon proposes to start an illegal gambling business.
Hesitant at first, his friends eventually decide to join him. Ah Boon takes the
money from his girlfriend Skye, who thought that he wanted to open a restaurant
business for her, but instead he uses it to launch his gambling house. When
Skye finds out about it, she gets mad, and he has to find a way for her to
forgive him. Meanwhile, at the same area, there is another illegal gambling
house. Problems occur when the rival gang`s boss, Kong Aik, warns Ah Boon to
shut down his place as he has trespassed their territory but Ah Boon refuses
to.
Finding it tough to penetrate the local box-office market
with English-language Malaysian films, director Julian Cheah decided to make a
truly Malaysian film. His latest, Judi-Judi King Boss does not only feature
English, but five other languages spoken in our country – Bahasa Malaysia,
Hokkien, Mandarin, Tamil and Punjabi.
The film has six dialects popularly used in Malaysia as well
as a multi-racial ensemble cast.
Judi-Judi King Boss revolves around Cheah’s character named Ah Boon, whose primary job is to find work for other people. When temporary work become scarce, Ah Boon has to think of other ways to make money for himself and the people who look at him for jobs.
ReplyDeleteAwesome multi languages and multiracial movie title Judi-Judi King Boss filmed in Penang.
ReplyDeleteIt is a great journey to preserved Hokkien dialect in Penang for now and future.
This movie truly brings the multiracial and culture of Asia, where it shows the beauty of Malaysia with various mixture of races. It also shows that even we are born as different races and colours of skin, yet we are still able to mix around as a close friends or family. Different races, but with one same nation in the country. That’s the beauty of the country.
