This time the movie comes with alternate sequences of animation and actors' staging roughly in a screen time ratio of 3:7 with animated inter-title cards used for segregating segments. Food is made the diegetic and visual motif of the film. As in Part I, vulgar and coarse topics like pissing and stools are made the subjects of the diegesis. However, unlike Part II (McDull Prince de la Bun), it less connotative and less nostalgic, being more decipherable for kids. It also makes occasional reference to some dialogues and motifs in both predecessors. Visually, the film adopts warm and light colours (e.g., the blue uniform of OLs) and stars many youngsters, which is a deliberate departure from the old theme of nostalgia and perhaps an adjustment of market focus from the middle-aged to the post-teenagers.

The film opens in medias res a gang robbing an office and it immediately cuts into flashbacks portraying the various characters and their respective scenarios. Though the theme of "grown up" alumni is explicit, there is no direct spatial or temporal relation between the various animated and actors' staging segments. There is also no direct relation among the actors' staging sequences. Characters are not developed in detail and there is no expository sequence to them. The animated segments are cute enough for kids whereas the actor sequences convey connoted messages on office politics and on the crude reality of the adults' world. The latter is particularly visually depicted in the epilogue of guns fire. Essentially, the movie is sardonic to some local cultural trends and professions, still carrying a heavy shadow of Hong Kong culture.
