Scene of cops drawing a mermaid


I don't speak Chinese, and I know I'm not going to understand a lot of the "wordplay" humor in Stephen Chow movies, but I still find them really funny.

But this one really delivered--that scene where the cops were drawing what was being described as a mermaid had me rolling. You'd think drawing a "half fish, half human" would be pretty simple. Well, it's not!

Plus the scene was masterfully directed, with just the right pacing and camera angles. It's the funniest thing I've seen in a long time.

I totally agree! Hilarious scene!
Even after he left and the cops burst out laughing. Then he came back in and they were like "yes, can we help you?" haha! This still got me.

Brilliant film

The one with the penis was the funniest. ---It wants no straps. - Karlhttp://www.imdb.com/board/bd0000024/nest/158601447

I thought the funniest part was when Shan tried to assassinate Liu Xuan. Hilarious slapstick, like something out of a classic Peter Sellers 'Pink Panther' movie.





Oh, it was gorgeousness and gorgeosity made flesh.

My favorite scene too. Was laughing out loud the entire time. The cop drawings were hilarious and their expressions were the best

Same. Very good movie, but that part had me in stitches.
