An incredible mickey-take of Kung-Fu films. It's main strong point is that it takes a more subtle approach to humor, as, while it is undeniably funny, it still takes the time to try and focus on other aspects of the film (the plot, for one), unlike the majority of modern American comedies which focus too much on humour, but then most of the time have people like those behind 'Little Fockers' writing the lines, leaving them not just plotless, but totally unfunny as well. So the underlying moral of this (and Stephen Chow's other classic: Kung-Fu Hustle) is that people need to see and support comedy from other countries as well, before the modern interpretation of films reaches the point where, if a film doesn't have at least one sex joke or explosion every three seconds, it's considered a bad film.
