John Woo's Bedazzled

To Hell With The Devil (1981) is an entertaining version of the cult comedy Bedazzled. Ricky Hui stars as Bruce Lee (Not the fighter, he tells a young lady) a struggling singer/songwriter who'll do anything to be successful. One day, he meets a minion of the devil (played by Stanley Fung). He also meets a servant from god (Paul Chun) the two constantly fight over the soul of Ricky. Nat Chan plays a sleazy Pop Star who benefits greatly from Ricky's stolen song book. Will the Devil take Ricky's soul or will it belong to God? Check it out. As with all of John Woo's films, he reuses many action set pieces that show up in his later films.

Recommended for John Woo and Ricky Hui fans.
