DVD: Man Tat Ng ...     DVD:       King of Beggars4 reviews Stephen Chow, Man Tat Ng Tai Seng, 1998 Very Enjoyable Although The Ending Gets Sloppy I've seen most of Stephen Chow's movies and would rank "King Of Beggars" among his better works. I thought it was a really hilarious film, with a good plot and premise, although the ending feels a bit rushed and sloppy. Basic plot: Chow plays "So Chan", the very spoiled son of the governor of Canton. He meets a courtesan, Yu-Shang, who tells him she will only have him if he becomes a great ...             Chinese Odyssey11 reviews Stephen Chow, Athena Chu Import [Generic], 2002 Great movie "A Chinese Odyssey: Pandora's Box" and "A Chinese Odyssey: Cinderella" is a two-parts series movie. Together, it is my favorite Chinese movie of all time. It's a modern and humorous twist on the famous Chinese story of "The Journey West" (also known as "The Monkey King"). In the first part, the Monkey King has been reincarnated as Joker, the leader of a group of bandits... However, I'm ...             God of Cookery25 reviews Stephen Chow, Christy Chung Tai Seng, 1998 Very funny show I got this movie based on a reccomendation by Alton Brown and I'm glad I did. Steven Chaiu is one of the funniest film makers coming out of China right now. It does contain a bit of cultural humor so if you don't know much about Chinese culture you might not get a lot of it. It's a bit silly by American standards. All this aside I watch this over and over again. Very funny movie!             Fight Back to School6 reviews Stephen Chow, Man Tat Ng Tai Seng, 2006 One of the best Stephen Chow movies Although it lacks the polish and CGI of his latest efforts, "Shaolin Soccer" and "Kung Fu Hustle," this movie was still hugely entertaining, especially if you like Chow's "moleitau" (nonsense humor). Chow plays Star Chow, a cop who goes undercover as a student in order to find a missing gun. He is understandably annoyed, shouting at his senior, "I wanted to be a cop so I didn't have to go ...             A Better Tomorrow II42 reviews Dean Shek, Lung Ti Starz / Anchor Bay, 2001 A MUST OWN The Hong Kong Godfather. Without a doubt this movie proves that John Woo is the best action director of all time, the vision, style, and the sher genious that he (Woo) uses in the direction of this movie is what sets it apart from and american action movie ever made. The action in this movie plays out like a ballet, a dance with bullets and blood. So put down those typical american action ...             Wong Kar Wai Collection (As Tears Go By / Days of Being Wild / Fallen Angels / Chungking Express / Happy ...2 reviews Andy Lau, Maggie Cheung Kino Video, 2004 Two words: Get it I don't have a lot to add to "Randroid"'s review. Wong Kar-Wai is one of the world's premier directors, making audacious, complex films that grab one's heart. Influenced by the French New Wave, bent through the prism of Hong Kong cinema, his is a stylish and unique vision. This box set contains five of his seven films that have been released to DVD: -- As Tears Go By -- Days of Being Wild ...             Legacy of Rage14 reviews Brandon Lee, Bolo Yeung 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment, 2005 Something special :-) Legacy Of Rage is a wonderful action thriller with great storytelling and character development, emotionally captivating actors and actresses, a cool sountrack, and explosive gun battles and few but very brutal non-stylistic, white-knuckle fight sequences choregraphed and starring Mang Hoi, and featuring the late-great Brandon Lee who showed such wonderful potential for HK (and perhaps US) action ...             Fist of the Red Dragon16 reviews Fong Pao, Sheila Chan Sony Pictures, 2004 Mostly Silliness, Awesome Fights! Like many people have said in earlier reviews, there is a lot of "junk" to get through in the beginning of the movie. First you must endure the notorious aunt, who is indeed very annoying. I like it best when So's dad slaps her teeth out at the end. However, I found that the opium parts were not too bad since they were a central point of the plot (no matter how hobbychobby it may have been). ...             Shaolin Soccer [IMPORT]127 reviews Cecilia Cheung, Stephen Chow Universe Laser & Video Co., Limited, 2001 Stephen Chow is remarkable! This is a hilarious and heart-warming tale of a group of downtrodden kung fu brothers who find new life in the world of football (soccer). It features the dynamic and hugely entertaining Stephen Chow, a man who makes his comrades in Western success Jackie Chan and Jet Li pale in comparison. Where Li is wooden and dull and Chan tries far too hard, Chow has an indifference that is refreshing. In ...             Shaolin Soccer127 reviews Cecilia Cheung, Lam Tze Chung Miramax, 2004 Stephen Chow is remarkable!

This film is essentially the HK version of Scarface with slight remnants of the Stink...oops, i mean Godfather. But from what i have researched (yes, i am a nerd with certain types of films), it is based on a real story of a gangster named Ho. He's a man with a vision and if you get in his way, awww shucks....He will not be disrespected and will not back down. The dude who plays him is ...             Everyday is Valentine Leon Lai, Cecilia Cheung Tai Seng, 2004             A Moment of Romance9 reviews Chung Lam, Kong Lau Tai Seng Video Marketing, 2000 A Classic Of Its Genre A Moment of Romance is responsible for many a Hong Kong Cinema cliché, and indeed the film is itself far from original. A disaffected youth, a "good girl" romantic interest and a cartoonish villain all figure into the 1990 hit. Director Benny Chan has his way with the clichés, and throws in enough slow motion, syrupy Cantopop montages and hyperemotional crescendos to tax even the most weepy ...             King of Comedy6 reviews Jackie Chan, Joe Cheng Universe Italy, 2001 biography of Stephen Chow This is one of Stephen Chow's best movies. Only second to his "Chinese Odyssey" series, in my opinion. The whole movie seems like his biography as an actor who started small and because of his "professional spirit" or non-stopping pursue achieved his goal of becoming a "real" actor (actually king of comedy) in the end. A bit of Cinderella kind of flavor. But the plot is great and the pace ...             Lung Fung Restaurant Charine Chan, Sin Hung Tam Tai Seng, 2007             God of Gamblers 2 Andy Lau, Ng Man Tat Tai Seng, 2004 Stephen Chiao (Shaolin Soccer) and Andy Lau (The Duel) star in this action-packed sequel to the Chow Yun Fat gambling film classic!

Because of the outstanding work they have done, it has been decided that their father(the mob boss) will appoint one of them to become the new leader of the gang.

Stephen Chow is truly hysterical; I can't remember laughing so hard in a long time.
