If one wants to watch a strange Hong Kong movie then Inspector Chocolate is one of them. In one way it is a lot like a typical American movie, but on the other hand it is strange enough to sit in a league of its own. Inspector Chocolate is a movie about two incompetent detectives who have to look after a beauty queen who wants to promote the police force and is the daughter of the chief. The problem arises when the beauty queen wants to play police officer but she is not allowed to injure herself least she loose the beauty contest.
This movie deals with TV stars. Two of the main characters are famous TV stars, the beauty queen and the host of a daytime cooking show. The host has twins and one of them is kidnapped and there is no clue, except a description of Jesus, as to who did that. When the description is taken a statue of Jesus is nearby so the police assume that the brother described the statue instead of the kidnapper.
Inspector Chocolate is not a thinking movie, it is a comedy cop movie about bungling cops who have to solve a kidnapping case. The movie is full of clichés, namely the vicious chief, the cool detective that is always better than Inspector Chocolate, and a mad villain. The villain doesn't make an appearance until the end, though there is a plot reason for this as he is not interested in money but he wants a child.
The movie is quite funny in places but it drags on in the end. The Hong Kong atmosphere in this movie adds a little life to the movie, and the comedy is quite well done. Still, Inspector Chocolate turns out to be nothing more than a Hong Kong version of the typical American cop show.
