Wow, I loved this movie as a child
Recently, I saw this movie again, and I'm amazed at how much I still like it. Maybe it's nostalgia, but regardless, watching this film again was refreshing in a way.
Unfortunately, the movie has not aged well (most Chinese camp movies wouldn't, sad to say), but considering the current situation with most American comedy movies (i.e. completely terrible and almost un-watchable), re-watching this movie was practically heaven!

The tolerance of storyline inconsistency is why we have so many bad movies today.
