Pretty funny Stephen Chow throwaway comedy. Anthony Wong, Ng Man Tat and Maggie Cheung spices everything up, and a cast of familiar faces helped made this movie enjoyable. There was a few funny scenes, particularly the ones between Anthony and Maggie.
The cheap effects really defined a lot of Chow's early comedies. In fact I think it was an integral part of it, especially for the the two-parter 'A Chinese Odyssey' which is probably my favorite Chow comedy ever. It just adds an element of laid-backness, which combined with his slapstick performance and the unique tone of his comedies just add up to something really really wonderful.
3.5/5 stars
