Stephen Chow stars in both of these movies and no it's not Shoalin Soccer or Kung Fu Hustle
A Chinese Odyssey I and A Chinese Odyssey II
They're both fairly old but omg.. Stephen Chow is the best!!!
The story is about the Monkey King and how he came to be. It's also got the Stephen Chow touch to it so the movie is funny. And of course it's got action and drama, romance... but very funny too...

Yes, I have to echo that. A Chinese Odyssey 1 and 2 are two of my favorite movies. They are both incredibly funny. Yet, the romance and drama are also well done, something which is hard to do with so much comedy going on. I also liked From Beijing with Love and God of Gamblers 3, two other movies with Stephen Chow.

From Beijing with Love is a 007 spoof with abundant irony, both verbally and situational-ly. It is best appreciated if you understand the language. But, even without the language, im sure there's plenty of places that will bring laughter. Of course, there are places with boobies, which are present in all his movies. That's the only downside, I think. I guess it depends on what you look for in movies. I think those places are like defects in an otherwise perfect diamond.

Now, here's something which might be a tangant. Does anyone know where I can get the soundtracks for Stephen Chow movies? They are kind of old, so I don't even know if they exist. For the sake of maintaining the focus in this thread, I guess if anyone knows, they can PM me. Thanks.

FELIPE NO
