Unbelievable - Chow at his MOST BRILLIANT



It's REALLY unbelievable how there's only ONE other post bout this movie. This has got to be 'mou lei tou' at its best.

He shows his knack for tickling the funny bone and weaving multi-layered themes disguised as a spoof. This movie certainly rules the roost as far as the spoof-genre goes.

In fact, it's even MUCH more entertaining than some of the lesser quality James Bond movies. I would root for Ling Ling Chat anytime over the real James Bond. That's how likeable he makes his unlucky hero character.

I bow to Chow ... genius of comedy and a walking legend amongst men.

- Everyone needs a good role model. I'm happy with just the regular Playboy ones -

I got this because I grew tired of the normal Bonds and wanted to branch out... bit too bloody to be a comedy, IMHO. I've seen some pretty horrendous stuff, but the scene where she cuts the bullet out of his leg is *beep* nauseating.

But I will give this film credit on one count - MAGIC BOX!!

I have to give this movie props for having what is perhaps the coolest weapon in film since the lightsaber.





Yeah, I'm a sucker for that knife which is for "slaughtering beasts".

knife which is for "slaughtering beasts".

Yeah that was awesome. The fighting is so cool, even though it's rather short. The scene in the mall where the shot switches to the knife on the wall is epic.

The movie would be better if not with some obvious failed jokes, like when he switches on a "blue movie" to get his mind off things. Sometimes he just goes too crazy with his humor.

I like the part where he watches the porno as a subsitute for anesthesia, well I thought it was mildly amusing.

I thought it was good. I personally wouldn't say it's Chow's best, but it definitely had some hilarious moments.

One that comes to mind is when he's taking out the gadgets from his bag and explaining their uses to the girl.

His cell phone is actually an electric shaver, and his electric shaver is a hair dryer. And then the girl pulls out another hair dryer from his bag amd it was actually another electric shaver! LOL That had me dying. And then his shoe was yet another hair dryer o_O

Funny stuff.

yeah the gadgets were awesome, very funny
