Michael Hui career in showbiz began with hosting TVB's quiz shows, from where he gained prominence in the Hong Kong entertainment world with his stints in the variety show Hui Brother Show. From thereon he moved to film making his first appearance in 1972 in The Warlord by Taiwanese director, Li Han-Hsiang, playing a warlord in the backdrop of post-revolutionary China. By 1974, he has formed his own film company called Hui Brothers Company, alongside brothers Sam and Ricky, and Golden Harvest. From 1974 to 2000, the artist remained part of more than twenty films, working mostly in the capacity of a scriptwriter or actor.

Comedies from this initial period mixed his comedic appeal with that of his siblings, as well as with episodic gags, which usually brought the trio of actors, together throwing their wits against all odds to make quick bucks. Set in the backdrop of modern Hong Kong, combined with trendy rock soundtracks played by Sam. These works gained immense popularity among working classes during the seventies and eighties. The artist completed Games Gamblers Play, The Contract, The Private Eyes and Security Unlimited, among which the latter brought him his first Hong Kong Academy Award in the category of Best Actor. Games Gamblers Play became a huge hit upon release, making the way for Cantonese films to finally hold their own opposite the Mandarin production of colonial trends.  

At the dawn of the eighties, Michael Hui parted ways with his brothers, developing a new satirical brand of comedy that capitalized on the impeccable timing of his deadpan humor. By now he was applying a more character-driven approach towards storyline development. His better renowned works were released during this time with the artist often acting out the ne'er-do-well that was driven by a money-mad society of Hong Kong. Just as funny and caustic, these works were set in the consumerism-oriented present-day Hong Kong. Michael was then on his way to making a rather unusual appearance in the North American movie The Cannonball Run, in which he portrayed Subaru engineer/mechanic with Jackie Chan. In his next project called Inspector Chocolate, he plays the role of a chocolate-consuming inspector who has to solve a kidnap during a time when his subordinate is busy with the Miss Hong-Kong pageant.

Michael Hui's next few films included Duck and Chicken Talk in which opposing restaurateurs end up fighting over securing profits; Front Page where the three Hui brother united once more in lampooning press; The Magic Touch presents a satire on Chinese obsession with wealth and fortune-telling. The artist has continued to crack people up with standup comedy performances and his ever satirical perspectives on politics, family, society and more. So grab some Michael Hui tickets and be there to unwind in the giggliest moments.
