The funniest movie I have seen for quite some time. Compared to Shaolin Soccer, this movie is much more sophisticated in terms of plot and effects. Apparent is that Stephen Chow has watched a lot of movies, and when you watch the movie, you will be reminded of that. Kwok Kuen Chan's performance of brother Sum reminds you of Johnny Depp's portrayal of Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean; the cloud effects on several occasions are indeed, as some people have already mentioned, of reminiscent effects in Ghostbusters; the mass scene of one or few heroes against an overwhelming amount of enemies repeats, but with nice comic effects. The kung-fu movies which have had some success in the West, like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; Hero and House of Flying Daggers, are all drama and take themselves very seriously. This movie comes from those same sources, but puts a very entertaining counter-effect. On several occasions during the film, I could not help but laugh.
