He steals from the rich and gives to the poor! Like Robin Hood, the title hero of The Lizard is a philanthropic thief, except the Lizard makes his rounds in 1930s Shanghai. Corrupt police chief Chen Can (Law Lit) is assigned to bring down the Lizard to appease the sinister Japanese forces, but the Lizard constantly eludes his grasp. Little does Chen Can know that the wily thief actually works for him! The Lizard's true identity is the mousy Cheng Long (Ngok Wah), who dons a mask and takes to the streets to spread his righteous message. Screen legend Connie Chan Bo Chu is Xiao Ju, a charming young woman who's friends with Cheng Long, but is also obsessed with the Lizard. Cheng Long tries to keep a low profile throughout the proceedings, but when Chen Can tries to make Xiao Ju his own, Cheng Long - and the Lizard - must make his presence known! Directed with effortless flair by Chor Yuen, and featuring action from veteran choreographer Yuen Cheung Yan, The Lizard is a winning action adventure with enough action and romance to charm and entertain anyone!
