Review
by Kozo: |
Hilarious Stephen Chow comedy
that features Hong Kong's King of Comedy at his most
likable. Chow plays a dumb, endearing delivery boy who
tries to win the heart of local beauty Christy Chung,
but he’s a wimp who can’t protect her from the likes
of Cheng Cho as the sleazy judo instructor. Chow decides
to undergo training from Ng Man-Tat, who plays a crippled
huckster called Devil Killer. He swindles Chow out of
large sums of money while teaching him useless kung-fu.
Not realizing it, Chow thinks he's become an invincible
kung-fu master and resolves to protect Chung.
Eventually Chow has the
opportunity to save her while wearing a large Garfield
mask, which could qualify as one of the funniest things
ever put on film. Still, he cannot reveal his identity
because everyone, including his karate-wielding nemesis
(Lam Kwok-Bun) wants to take credit for his heroic deeds.
To prove himself and win Chung's love, Chow can only
do one thing: challenge his arch-rival to a duel.
This movie is drop-dead funny,
though the comedy tends to unsubtle and of the "out-of-nowhere"
variety. What pulls the film together is Chow's endearing,
self-effacing performance and the direction, which relies
on sports-film construction and timing that you'd usually
see in Japanimation. Some may find the relentless gags
tiring, but those who enjoy Stephen Chow's particular
brand of comedy won't be disappointed. (Kozo 1996) |
