the direction, camerawork, and editing are amazing

Am I the only one who thought the direction, camerawork, and editing for this film was magnificent? Every shot in the film feels like it has purpose and meaning, and it often helps exaggerate the expressions the actors make into hilarious effect. It also helps tell the story on its own without constantly relying on dialogue. You can understand the whole "Exploding Piss Beef Balls" or Shaolin training sequence with the sound off. Of all the films Stephen's made so far, this film(along with Kung Fu Hustle) are probably the best demonstration of his filmmaking prowess.
