And yes, the fat comedy boss was great.

While we’re talking about this sort of film, it’s worth mentioning that Tartan Films (the UK distributer) have put out a lot of similar stuff.

You’re right in saying that the dialogue is dodgy, it’s always funny reading the subtitles. I speak “Hak Ga” which has some similarities with Cantonese and even I noticed some mistakes!

The psychiatrist was of course the great Kelly Chan (Steve’s sister), highly successful Asian pop star. As for the rest of the cast I have been informed that they were also famous in their own right.

All in all great traditional Chinese film with the cheesy love scene, fat comedy boss etc. It’s great to see a film break the UK market which is not the stereotypical kung fu flick.

Not sure if the prequel and sequel will live up to this but then again they rarely do. Then again they can’t be as dissapointing as the forthcoming American remake ; )
