Bouncing shrimp balls
Stephen Chow made his main American breakout with Kung Fu Hustle, another good film, but prior to that he had a long career in cinema. God of Cookery is hillarious in a simlar way as Kung Fu Hustle, but it has the bizzare cutness that it didnt which Chow made a name on. Think of an Iron Chef episode and mix that with Shaolin Socccer style fighting (another golden Chow Gem) and you have Cookery. ...

BRILLIANT! TOTALLY KICKS AXE!!!
One of the most perfect movies ever made, just got a little better. If you've never seen Kung Fu Hustle, SEE IT! If you have seen Kung Fu Hustle, SEE IT AGAIN! This is the unaltered movie as it was originally meant to be seen. This "Axe-Kickin' Edition" doesn't add a whole lot to the previous American release, it just puts back some of the details that were edited out of the original Hong Kong ...

Pure entertainment.
Great movie! Great cinematography! Great editing! Great acting! Great casting! I loved this movie. From the perspective of a beginning movie maker (amateur), this movie was breathtaking. I loved the camera angles, costumes, props, and the action scenes. This is a really well done movie. This is also the first movie I watch on my blu-ray player. I watched it on a high definition 42" Sony ...

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 ...

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 ...

King of Comedy

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 ...

Jacky Cheung + Stephen Chow madness
I really love this film. Not only do Cheung and Chow work well as a comic double act, fans of 80's style bloodshed and Canto-English madness will really enjoy this ragbag of a film. You should really try to get the original subtitled version - some of them are real corkers - "wow.. really big breasts.. She kills me!..". There is also a lot of english in the original canto version, mostly the ...

"Why are you dancing Cha-Cha? Fight!"
Stephen Chow has to go back to school undercover and brings along his friends he met in the last movie. Funny how part 2 lives up to the title and he really has to fight back to school this time. Him and his girlfriend are going to get married, but he ends up spending all of their wedding money on his undercover job. Deannie Yip has a small role as the Chief Inspector and she is brilliant just ...

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 ...

Tai Seng, 2001

A funny and touching action film
This is one of my favorite Stephen Chow movies. Some say this film marks a change in Stephen Chow's style. His prior comedies were really funny but also mostly tongue-in-cheek, where rarely did Chow's characters display any sincerity, and his tears were always fake. But this movie is different. While still gut-bustingly funny, it actually shows real emotions. An example is the bullet extraction ...

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 ...

Romance melodrama that evokes life and death
Award-winning actor Tony Leung (In the Mood for Love) and Michelle Reis star in a melodrama that pulls the heartstring. Reis plays Jackie, a typical Hong Kong white-collared girl-svelte, convivial, and cluelessly flirtatious. She had been in coma for a year after attempting suicide and her boyfriend Paul, who was a surgeon, faithfully took care of her with an undying flicker of hope for miracle. ...

Not as good as part 1, but still worth watching
After being transported back in time 500 years Stephen Chow is given a certain mark on his foot by an Immortal woman. She is a very nice lady, but her sister also lives in her body. So while she is nice in the daytime, her evil sister is the one who lives in her body at night. Stephen Chow falls in love with her. Honestly I couldn't follow the story very well. The Longevity Monk is trying to ...
