20th anniversary!
When the hapless Sing (Stephen Chow) and his dim-witted pal, Bone, try to scam the residents of Pig Sty Alley into thinking they're members of the dreaded Axe Gang, the real gangsters descend on this Shanghai slum to restore their fearsome reputation. What gang leader Brother Sum doesn't know is that three legendary retired kung fu masters live anonymously in this decrepit neighborhood and don't take kindly to interlopers.
Part of our 20th Anniversary Celebration Series!
In Cantonese with English subtitles.
“Chow, perhaps the first action star and filmmaker to be as influenced by classic cartoons as by the karate-chop balletics of human movement, directs like a gonzo fusion of Tarantino and Tex Avery.” Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
“It’s a short, sharp shock to the cinematic system that’s virtually impossible to dislike, and if you don’t leave the theatre grinning your face off, then, buddy, movies just aren’t for you.” Marc Savlov, The Austin Chronicle
