In Hong Kong Cinema: What the Heck Is an Environmental Protection King?

Real environmentalism: personally caring for the environment, promoting green consumption, traveling low-carbon, and conserving water…

Fake environmentalism: acting with reckless audacity and ruthless cruelty, solving environmental problems at the source, and purifying everything by force.

Lu Shen transmigrates into the Hong Kong crime-film world of 1982 and awakens the Environmental Venerable System. As long as he protects the environment, he earns rewards.

Seeing the streets full of gangsters littering and setting fires, and factories secretly dumping wastewater and waste, he is delighted.

“My rule: protect the environment!”

“I hereby declare that everything I do is for the sake of protecting the environment. Do not call the police on me, slander me in the papers, or hire someone to kill me in secret. Those are all acts of environmental destruction, and will be purged by force!”

Big D: “I even wear a helmet when I go fishing, so why are you accusing me of harming the environment?”

Lu Shen: “You’re a fishing skunk who wants to blast fish. How is that not harming the environment?”

“Lam Ka Lok, you buried salted fish in your front yard and polluted the drinking water. Sit tight in the car and prepare to be purged!”

“Han Chen, you threw something from a high place and smashed a car. Scrapping that car will pollute the environment.”

“Mr. Lee Ka Yan, I’m from the Environmental Venerable Bureau. We suspect you’re involved in polluting the ocean with those foreign devils. Please come with me to assist with the investigation...”

“Sorry, wrong set. Mr. Lee, you polluted the ocean. Prepare to be purged by force.”
