Absolutely brilliant

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Although the 3d effects are real bad, this feature shines in unconventional places. The characters are quirky and lovable (except for Stephen Chow's), the humor is enjoyable and some shots are surprisingly ambitious. A film with a lot of care put into it!

I'm really not a fan of these types of movies. The plot was so weak I could barely identify it until the end, and it was just too over-the-top for me to enjoy it much.

There has been no movie like this, none. Period. Shoalin Soccer was brilliant,but this is something else.The character development is so rich that you will be wanting more, from the lecherous landlord, to the side kick of the bad guy and the side kick of the hero, from the mega villain to the local Juliet, from the land lady to the 2 vile playing the piano, even if they got a few scenes, everyone stole the limelight. In fact, Stephen Chow's character probably looked less interesting at times.The scene where his sidekick accidentally hits him with a knife followed by kissing a cobra is the ultimate funny sceneThee are so so so many good to better to brilliant scenes from all the characters that you would probably see it nth number of times.The slapstick is bang on, the over-the-top scenes are even more bang on, everyone is in top notch form.It is mostly over-the-top but what a balance Stephen Chow has maintained! NOT EVEN ONCE does it cross the line to become even remotely senseless. This is miles ahead of anything you have seen, in fact a different genre needs to be specially made just to fit this movie. This one, Shaolin Soccer and CJ7 are proof enough that Chow is a superior director, but i doubt he can top this. There is just no equal. It is like the Psycho of thrillers, The Enter the Dragon of Martial Arts, The Terminator 2 of Action movies, With this movie alone, Chow should be ranked as an all time great.

The city is ruled by the violent Axe Gang led by the sadistic Brother Sum. Only poverty stricken slums like Pig Sty Alley escape their notice. The place is run by bossy couple landlords. Sing and Bone come into the neighborhood pretending to be part of the Axe Gang. Bone is asleep and Sing is a weakling who can't threaten a child. The real Axe Gang happens to be walking by and it's an all out fight. However, it turns out that there are actually kung fu masters among the poor.Stephen Chow directs, writes, and stars in this slapstick comedy. It's wacky, stupid, and hilarious. It's a fun use of CGI. It's a simple rogue finding redemption story wallowing in the silliness of the kung fu genre. This is about the silly humor and kung fu action. I love the silly broad humor. I like the wild kung fu action but there may be a little too much of it. After a visually imaginative and engaging opening, it loses a bit of steam but it always picks up whenever it goes back to the Alley. I wish this movie spends all of its time with the weird cast of characters in the Alley.
