Sixty Million Dollar Man (Chinese: 百變星君) is a 1995 Hong Kong comedy film written and directed by Raymond Yip and starring Stephen Chow, Ng Man Tat, and Gigi Leung.

Plot Summary

Lee Chak-Sing (Stephen Chow) is a rich kid who lives in Hawaii. He's proud, arrogant and fond of playing mean-spirited tricks on everyone around him. His life starts to change when he meets Chung-Chung (Gigi Leung), a young woman whom he decries as being very ugly.

Tat (Ng Man Tat), Sing's loyal assistant, is revealed by Sing's mother to be his true father. He is then faced with a decision: Accept Tat as his father and lose his inheritance, or continue to call the other man his father and live in the lap of luxury. He chooses the latter.

Sing offends local crimelord Fumito (Joe Cheng) by dancing with Fumito's girl in a Pulp Fiction-inspired dance contest (while seriously intoxicated on LSD and tequila). In a fit of rage, Fumito orders his most trusted henchman Mark (Charles Shen) to kill Sing.

When Tat comes to rescue his son, both are caught by Mark and tied together in a bathroom stall, where Mark has a bomb planted. Sing chops off his arm and manages to let his father escape on an ejector toilet seat. Sing seems to have perished in the explosion.

Sing's brain and lips are recovered, and using these pieces, it is possible to construct a new body for him at the cost of $60,000,000. However, since Sing has now renounced his rich father, he does not have enough money, and Tat can only provide $6,000.

Chang (Elvis Tsui), (Chung Chung's uncle and Sing's professor who closely resembles Albert Einstein) offers to create a body for $6,000. After some trial and error, such as creating legs out of arms, Sing is transformed into a cyborg.

To fool Fumito, however, a funeral is staged for Sing, where he hides to watch. The only person to attend is Chung-Chung, who is unaware of Sing's true fate, and laments his death. When Sing sees this, he feels remorse for mistreating her (and everyone else).

Two years later, he receive a job opportunity from an old friend Siu-Fu as a teacher at one of the worst schools in the area. He is harassed and assaulted by the students, culminating in Sing being "crucified" on the front gate of the school with his garden hose genitalia (a result of the low-cost procedure) in full view. Chung-Chung also works at the school, but has undergone a transformation and is no longer the awkward, unattractive girl that Sing knew. She also has a rich fiance with a fancy sports car, something that Sing can no longer afford.

That evening, in a fit of despair, Sing attempts suicide but is stopped when Chang delivers a new microchip he's been working on by throwing it down Sing's throat. The microchip enables Sing to transform into many different household appliances and makes him nearly indestructible.

Sing returns to the school and begins to correct the disorder, serving as a superhuman disciplinarian. Under his care, all the students turns into very hardworking, studious and diligent students.

Sing's fame catches attention from Fumito. Fumito sends Mark to finish Sing off. Mark tries to kill Sing but fails. He tries to escape, culminating in Sing killing him by twisting his limbs and using him as a human basketball. Using his wealth, Fumito has Mark rebuilt into a powerful cyborg with shape-shifting abilities.

Mark infiltrates Sing's wedding party as Sing's old friend Siu-Fu, but Sing eventually sees through the disguise. In the ensuing chaos, Sing is apparently killed in an explosion. To everyone's surprise, Sing returns as a powerful old lady, resembling a Park'n Shop mascot, in a bullet proof robe. Ultimately, Sing transforms into a microwave oven and traps Mark inside, burning him to death. Fumito is disposed of soon after.

-He flees into the school basketball court. Sing's already waiting for him at the court. Devastated, Mark fell on his knees and begged for his life to be spared. Sing shake hands with Mark, telling him without him, he wouldn't be like today. Mark's still very nervous. Then, Sing rests Mark's hand one his own shoulder. Mark's puzzled and ask what's he's doing. Sing says he wants to play basketball.

Fumito tells his wife that he had paid the scientist to impart microchip of warfare, murder and destruction into his brain. Mark has given a new body. Mark undergoes a major makeover. He has became a powerful cyborg. His entire body is replaced with black, leathery muscles, making him look huge and hunky. (The actor dressed in a black, muscle suit like a comic superhero; a combination of [[batman]] and [[robocop]]. A masked superhero turns evil)  Wearing black leathery gloves and boots. With his new body, the new Mark's capable of taking the form of other people. His right arm are able to morph into guns and other destructive weapons.
-Mark infiltrates Sing's wedding party as Sing's old friend Siu-Fu, tricking Sing. Sing sees through the 'friend' is an imposter. The 'friend' morph to his true self; cyborg Mark. Sing was surprised to see the once henchman of Fumito he get rid has transformed into a powerful, hunky, masked killing machine. All the guests flee for their lives.
-Mark morphs as Chung-chung. The 'Chung-chung' was very afraid and Sing went over to give her a hug. Then, 'she' took this opportunity to shoot him at close range; at his stomach.  Sing let go of her. Chung-chung's body began to morph, her muscles bulge and changed into cyborg Mark.
-Mark tried to fire again at Sing. Sing morphed his right arm into a giant kitchen chopper, acting as shield to protect himself. Sing survives at the shot and fled away.
-Mark tries to morph into Sing to trick Chung-chung, Tat and Chang. The real Sing comes to reveal the imposter. Mark shoots a hovering bullet to chase after Sing. Sing seems to perish in an explosion. Chung-chung and the rest are devastated.
-Fumito thought he has finished off Sing once again. Mark smiled with delight as he stands upright, waiting for his master to come. Fumito appears beside Mark, mocking at Sing as a cheap machine. To everyone's surprise, Sing returns as a powerful old lady in yellow robe, resembling a [[Park'n Shop]] mascot,
-Fumito gets afraid but still holds high confidence on cyborg Mark. Fumito commands Mark to finish off Sing while he hid at one corner. Mark was a little confused on Sing's new look. Mark tries to morph his arm into a machine-gun like weapon to shoot at Sing as Sing walks towards him. The yellow robe protected Sing from all gun damages from Mark. Mark get shocked and very afraid. The short 'old lady' soon stand right in front of the tall, masked killing machine. Mark's fear buys time for Sing to lay a few punches on cyborg Mark. Sing marked some red cross on Mark's face.
-Mark's range is blurred. Sing tries to kick and punch on Mark. Sing's short. His kicks looks like a mad old lady kicking and punching on a tall, hunky cyborg. Mark tries to defend himself. Two cyborgs begin to punch at each other crazily.
-Soon, Mark give a powerful kick, sending Sing up into the air. Chung-chung and the rest got a shock. Mark wraps his leathery hands over his face and wave off all the silly red crosses. He recovers himself fast. He looks up in rage, morphing his right arm into a huge long gun and shots at Sing. But Sing turns into a giant, red iron and descends down fast on Mark. Mark has no time to react.
-Mark is pin down and iron flat. Chung Chung ([[Gigi Leung]]), Sing's father, professor and the rest dance with joy, thinking Mark's defeated. The 'flat' Mark struggles his way up. He inflated himself back into shape. Mark's very angry. He turns to look at the giant iron. The iron morphs back as Sing.
-Mark leaps up and flies towards Sing, sending a kick into Sing's face. Mark's black boot rests onto Sing's face. Sing is sent surprisingly several metres off ground and crushes in a huge red container. Mark flies into the container to give chase.
-Mark calls for Sing. Sing laughs at cyborg Mark's stupidity. Has muscles and looks but has no brains. Cyborg Mark's trapped in the belly of Sing in a form of a giant microwave oven. Immediately, the professor: Chang ([[Elvis Tsui]]) runs to pass the start button to turn on the oven. When Mark turns himself around, the oven has started to heat up slowly.
-Mark tried to shoot at Chang through the glass door of the oven. Suddenly, he pauses and look at his arm that has morph into a gun. His 'gun' fails to work this time. Mark's face looked very tensed and troubled. The cyborg began to tremble with fear. The professor asked why can't he come out as it's because the microwave oven can even melt diamonds. His right arm that has morphed into a gun starts to ache. Sounds of melting metal can be heard from the inside of him. Mark grips on his own right forearm and cries out in great pain.
-Mark begins feel the heat passes throughout his entire body. Mark can feel his entire body's burning from the inside. Mark cries out in pain and crouches himself, biting his teeth, while Chang dances outside the oven with great joy.
-Soon, his 'gun' melts away slowly leaving only his upper arm. Mark continues to cry out in pain as the heat is melting his parts slowly. His black, shiny mask starts to melt and stains his face black. His shiny black, leathery muscles starts to melt. As the oven's heat increases, sparks starts to release at his joints: armpits and groin. The whole cyborg begins to shake. Mark's face is beginning to melt away. Mark said his last words that he's melting away fast, with his whole face stain black. Fumito can only watch helplessly to see his most trusted henchman perish slowly.
-Soon, the oven reaches it's maximum heat. Mark's face has been disfigured. Sparks begins to shoot out from the cyborg in all directions. Cyborg Mark began to shake vigorously. Sparks cotinues to shoot out from the cyborg's body as he's shaking vigorously. The cyborg's head explodes, follows by his whole body explodes from his chest. The thought tall, invincible killing machine perishs into a pile of black ink. Fumito is then disposed of by Sing.
