This movie RULEZ!

100% fresh rating at Rotten Tomatoes.

(I saw the Chinese 111 minute version with English subtitles. It's coming to the rest of the world in August, but unfortunately, it's being cut down to 86 minutes and dubbed in English.

It was pretty good the first couple times..

But after like....5+ times...it just gets annoying.


Same with that Korean movie...My Sassy Girl. Good the first couple times...then just gets really long and boring the more you watch it.
 
There are so many good untapped resources overseas...Shaolin Soccer, My Sassy Girl, La Brassiere...good stuff 🙂
 
stephen chow rulez! I have the Shaolin Soccer offical DVD, subtitles or not I can understand since I'm Cantonese... he does so many parodies of famous american movies...

One of my favorite Steven Chow movies is the one where he's like a 007 type of character, with a BUTCHER KNIFE! (That scientist is great... "I have a special SOLAR POWERED FLASHLIGHT"... and his ultra powerful weapon that consists of like 37 different parts like a bunchof knives, grenade, guns, all tied up with string.... and who can forget the STARE-DOWN chair!)...

Saint of Gamblers, then he also did God of Gamblers II with Andy Lau.

The Butcher Knife movie was From Beijing with Love.

That movie was awesome...I wish I had the mandarin one...or a better subtitled one. The one I had was Catonese and the subtitles were badly written English and were too fast sometimes. Still, I thought it was awesome.
 
For SS, I enjoy the the pure love between Stephen Chow and that 'ugly' girl(Zhao Wei) in the movie. She is ugly in her look but I think she is much prettier as a person than most girls. She loved him in a way that is seldom seen nowadays and her willingness to wait and to sacrifice for him were pretty touching if you ever appreciate a girl's feeling. I think some of Stephen Chow recent works features the feeling he want to convey. One of his previous movie told us he was an actor, and later the movie about chef told us that he realized flashy packaging was not all he got and was making effort to do better. Now this one he told us that he had his own preception of Gungfu, well in a funny way too.

???? Are you serious.

No offence, but I thought those scenes were the ultimate in cheesiness - and done that way on purpose. In fact, this movie basically makes fun of everything, and that's why I like it so much.
