Reviews
VIC NGUYEN'S REVIEW: The master of mo lai to ("make no sense") comedy, Stephen Chow Sing-chi and director Lee Lik-chi filmed this box office smash, parodying the exploits of superspy James Bond, or in this case, Ling Ling Chai (translated 007). Many fans feel this is Chow's finest work to date, evenly mixing dead-on 007 spoofs along with the actor's trademark brand of uproarious, Cantonese humor. Containing some unsuspected gore and violence, that in no way detracts the audience from enjoying this production, and I recommend this one for those wanting a good introduction to Chow's work.
VIC NGUYEN'S RATING: 7/10
