i laughed out loud even after watching this masterpiece several times. i never watch movies twice but this is the rare exception that's worth it. you have to understand the "no brainer" comedy concept as well as appreciate all the direct allusions to famous American movies where chow's characters, especially his character, repeat lines of dialogue that made the sources so outstanding. anyone who has not seen this movie should give it a play and wait at least 15 minutes before rejecting it outright. and for my taste you have to watch the excellently dubbed English version. it seems this site requires ten lines of text.
