Like Seeing A different Persona of Stephen Chow

The King of Slapstick Comedy, Stephen Chow is a man of different personalities but among them his Chaplin like Tramp persona has dominated all of his other images.

One may only remembers chow for his carrer of producing some of the best comedies of the Slapstick Genre but they should not forget that he is not only a comedian but a Very Capable actor too.

In this early Chow Film he is not only able to entertain us with his silly and on point comedy but also delivers a good performance as a new recruit of a triad syndicate following the footsteps of his idol, his hero.

Though it is not as good as John Woo's "Bullet in the head" 1990 but it also uses the concept of three friends trapped in a serious situation & chow gives a good performance while saving his friends life when they are trapped in Thailand.

One may not like it as it may not be that much comedy as chow other comedies that will be coming in the following years, but seeing chow act silly and good at the same time is a good experience while will become more prominant in the movies he made after 2000, showing his full self as an very capable actor, director and performer.
