While I've seen many films of all sorts from many different eras and nations, there's nothing like this that I can recall even now. This was, is, and will remain one the great action comedies of all time. It's creativity, it's playfulness, it's execution - it's combination of kung fu, well worn tropes made new, and comedy stand alone. If the Three Stooges were alive today and martial artists, this might be a film they could make. One doesn't need to enjoy martial arts films to enjoy this story of one man, after many poor choices, achieving his potential as a "kung fu genius." One just needs to know that what they're seeing is something very rare and special indeed.
