funniest movie moment EVER!!

Maybe not THE funniest movie scene of all time, but for me personally, it is at the very top. I'm talking about the scene where Stephen Chow is told to prepare for the fan who will hand him flowers, it turns out to be the cross-dresser, and as they get nearer, Chow suddenly shouts "Look! UFO!" and as everyone looks to the side, he roundhouses the cross-dressing person through the wall!

Now, honestly, this was one of the Top 5 Hardest Laughs I have had in my life from any source. I was literally buckled over on the floor with tears streaming down my face. I was watching the movie with three or four other friends, and we rewound the scene I don't know how many times. And get this! I have a friend who is on the staff at a local church, and he even decided to incorporate the clip into a Sunday service when the pastor was gone! Overall the movie was great, but did anyone else get as much of a kick out of this scene as I did?

Agreed. That moment was so random it caught me off guard. Funny as hell!

There is one even funnier scene near the end where the old lady tastes meals: her reaction to the meal that Stephen Chow made was priceless.

i thought this was probably one of the funniest movies ever made generally in the history of chinese film lol.......so many scenes were just so classic that even today people still use the jokes from this movie repeatedly.....i love the grand opening scene where they got bunch of people talking about how great the meatballs were.....and this highschool student came out and said "after i ate these meatballs i get 100% on all my exams!!!" and another super random part where the gangsters got lined up and questioned by the boss....and this dude asked "can i jump while i answer my question?" HAHAHAHHAHA......this movie was just too hilarious.....stephen chow is my hero in life

This movie has several scenes like that for me. It took me a few viewings before I could actually read the dialog in some scenes. My favourite part of the 18 Bronzemen scenes are the two that just screw around at the front when the others beat him up.

I loved that part too!!!

And what's even funnier was instead of using some fancy kungfu moves to beat him up, the bronzemen just beat him brutally (or as we say in my country "like beating up a chicken thief").

When I saw the title of this thread, I immediately thought it would be about this scene. Man, I died laughing watching that. Certainly one of the funniest scenes I've seen in a while. Also, the random musical number had me laughing pretty hard as well. This movie was very funny.

It certainly is one of the funniest scenes I have seen.

I also like the fantasy/memory scene that preceded it, with Stephen Chow practicing the "What a coincidence!" line and his reaction when the girl actually talked to him.

There is no other like Stephen Chow!

HAHA just reading the topic I immediately thought of that moment... it doesn't get much funnier than that.

It still gets me now as I just rewatched it today, but not nearly as much as the first time I saw it when the surprise of the scene hit me about as hard as his foot hit the flower-bearing fan.

I think its a huge shame that this doesn't seem to be legitimately availabel on dvd anymore (aside from the typical ebay bootlegs). I really think this should have been released on dvd here in America after Shaolin Soccer came here. The $50 Tai Seng dvd was a total ripoff when you could get the same thing on the HK import dvd by Universe Laser for about $15 from online dvd importers.

The bronze monk beatings, Stephen asking for a cab to run from the scarfaced lady, the judge dancing to distract the cook participants, the gang leader prancing on the beach after eating one of the balls. Just too many to mention.

My favourite scene is where the judge ate Stephen's char siew rice,her expression is golden! XD

My favorite scene is when the 18 Bronze men hit him and the Wet Dream Head master flirted the pretty correspondent, lol.

[–] georgejames82 14 years ago

Just saw this again, pretty much the whole thing was hilarious.

Another lol moment was towards the end when the chopping knife goes flying and the back of it lodges into the boss. He falls to the floor in shock, then one of his men explain to him that it's ok becuase it was just the back of the knife, and he brushes it off like it was nothing! Had to pause it to stop laughing.

About 12 years ago my friends and I used to go to this theater that played Chinese movies at midnight. The played old Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and other kung-fu flicks. Then they were going to show Forbidden City Cop, and I remember thinking "how funny could a Chinese movie be?". I laughed so hard through the whole movie that my abs were sore. Before the next weeks show I was thinking "it may be funny, but can't be as funny as FCC, and how funny could a movie about cooking possibly be anyway?". I laughed even harder watching Forbidden City Cop.

I don't think I could possibly rank scenes which I laughed the hardest at since I laughed soo much through the whole movie, but some of my favorite scenes/lines are (may not be exact);

"How can I have appetite when your face is so hideous, you must have consideration for the customers"

"What a coincidence", daydreaming about the female fan, leading into the "Look! UFO!" bit

The random musical, "I am willing to sacrifice for buddies"

Combining beef balls and 'pissing' shrimp into Pissing Beef Balls. "Better than my first love memory"

Getting nursed back to health by head monk Wet Dream, "I already sucked 90% of the poison out of your. Allow me to suck the remaining 10%"

Trying to escape, getting frustrated at the card game, and explaining how he learned supreme kung-fu, all leading to the "We are the 18 Brass Men Of Shaolin" bit

"Good flying skills", followed by "Good folding chair skills!"

"Why must I have such a good BBQ pork bowl", then the judge rolling around in the large BBQ pork rice bowl.
