Anyone else seen this movie?

It\'s the funniest movie I\'ve seen in a LONG time.

It stars Stephen Chow and it\'s also directed by him.I never heard of him untill now but it appears he is quite the legend in Asia.

The movie contains everything a good movie should:Humour,action,story,emotion,good music and that mystery ingredient that pushes it into the territory of "Great Movies"


Anyway,go see it!!

It\'s pretty good but had several key plot elements that threw the audience a curve in the wrong direction.  And like always the ending needed work.

But I still loved it & I plan to see it again with more people this weekend.  Too bad movies like this don\'t get top 5 in usa.

The ending was wonderfull IMO.

It left al lot of things open for interpertation,therefore it\'s something you can discuss with friends afterwards.

And the reason I\'ve only just seen it is because I live in Holland.It\'s not even released here!

I suppose it was released a couple of weeks ago in the U.S.A.

***spoilers ahead***

[sp]- Last fight scene was way too short.
- The first 3 kung-fu masters died much too quickly (whose personalities were great for the story)
- the kung master "lovers" were a waste of time

If they stuck with the fun & campy Buster Keaton theme like they did at the beginning I think it would have been twice as good.  The head honcho of the axe gang seemed like a badass at first but turns out to be a pu$$y.  What a drag![/sp]

I didn\'t understand how the one dude (the main character) heals himself by punching the wall inside that traffic signal box or whatever it was.  Just one of several small problems, but overall it was very entertaining.  I\'m glad the lollipop girl plot was not explored any further.

BTW I saw this about 4-6 weeks ago.  I think it was released in LA before the wide release.

Point 8 is very interesting.

My post didn\'t give away anything because it was too vague.  Besides, why would you even click on the thread if you haven\'t seen the movie yet?

EvX I never open a thread for a movie I\'m going to see, especially if it\'s already been released.  What\'s the point?  Otherwise you have a thread full of annoying spoiler tags.  Not to mention most of the posts look like this:

"Man this is gonna be awesome"
"I\'m gonna see this movie"
"I\'m gonna see it tomorrow"
"This is gonna be awesome"
"This movie is gonna be suck"

and so on
