Not a bad little kung fu comedy. Steven Tung Wei is an acquired taste as a star, but give him credit that, at a moment when everyone was trying to figure out how to imitate Jackie Chan, he chose to develop his own quirky comic film personality.
But the other star of this film, Sammo Hung, steals the show with a breezy yet solid performance as Wei's teacher, oozing confidence and irony. The film would probably be lost without him.
The direction and general appearance of the film are perfunctory. The story is put together fairly well, but there's no doubt the comic bits are hit or miss - some are very funny in a Three Stooges sort of way, others fall pancake flat. The fighting is good, but only gets above average when Sammo is involved.
No classic but certainly entertaining.
