    I think a lot of viewers missed the detail that at the end, Steven Chow's character purposefully missed the Beast's head when giving that final 'palm' blow. Also, what caused the Beast to truly surrender was not his kung fu skills, but his mercy and humility when he said, "Do you want to learn? I can teach you."

    Fun fact, the Toad guy and the poor Pig Sty Alley villagers were actually played by real legendary martial artists and Shaolin monks, some of whom starred in famous Hong Kong martial arts movies from the 80's and worked with Bruce Lee himself. That scene when the landlady is in the car with the Axe gang leader and cracks her knuckles and flicks the tip of her nose is a homage to Bruce Lee.

      Its also a way to acknowledge those older than you. In the Asian culture they have this rule if someone is older than you even if by a few month you have to address according to age hierarchy, even though now they have become lackadaisical with that rule, now most younger generations call anyone who is older than by these titles if the were born a year and up before them. If they are born the same year they are a "friend", but they still speak formal with them, just it address them as bid sister or big brother.

    About the Land Lady, it wasn't made clear in the first watch but when you look back again, she talks really harshly at her tenants but she does her best to be kind in her own way.
    Many of them were months due on rent and she doesn't evict them. The only eviction she did was so that when the Axe Gang comes again to ask for the three masters, they can feign ignorance and say they left so the gang would leave them alone + she knew the gang would come prepared this time to kill the three masters in cold blood so she asked them to leave to protect them.
    In my opinion, the fact that The Beggar didn't con the Protagonist was probably the biggest twist - he wasn't lying about the guy having great potential in Kung Fu, and sure enough, due to his training at a young age, he's developed a healing factor. The training wasn't complete so his chi flow didn't get completely developed that's why he didn't seem like someone who could win a fight in the beginning. But the knowledge and training was already lying dormant in him, as though it's waiting for an awakening - remember when he almost succumbed to the snake venom? The palm prints he left inside the traffic light holder were actually the Buddhist Palm.

    There are just so many trivia, fun facts, backstories and references in this movie that if you know more about it you'll appreciate this movie to another level. Since many of them are culturally/location specific, i'll just share some of the more "global / non cultural or location specific" ones you'll appreciate.
    1. The action choreographers were Sammo Hung (Jackie Chan's big brother in the stunt world) and Yuen Woo-Ping (of The Matrix).
    2. Sammo Hung pulled out early during production due to illness and Stephen Chow invited Yuen Woo-Ping to take over. When Chow explained to Yuen what he wanted, Yuen thought this was too ridiculous it would never work.
    3. The actress who played the landlady was a bondgirl in a Roger Moore James Bond movie.
    4. The actress who played the landlady is Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung's big sister in the stunt world.
    5. The actress who played the landlady is a long retired actress and was not in the original cast. She was accompanying her friend to an audition and was sitting in the waiting room having a cigarette when Chow saw her and knew that was the landlady he wanted. Chow begged her to come out of retirement to take the role. She initially rejected him.
    6. Stephen Chow was a massive Bruce Lee fan, he was once the president to a HK Bruce Lee fan club.
    7. The coolie labourer, fairy tailor, landlord, landlady, and the beast are all real life martial artist who were famous for their skills from the early HK TV/movie days.
    8. The outrageous/weird kungfu styles are all famous fictional kungfu moves from classical wushu novels and comics of the 60s, 70s, 80s. Only the landlord's style (TaiChi) is more real-world, but of course it's dramatised.
    9. There were 3 major genres of KungFu choreographs in the movie. First there was the realistic and rooted one during the first fight scene where the labourer, fairy tailor, and noodle chef saved the day, this was Chow paying respect to real life martial artists. Then there was the fantastic night assassin and the final flying-down-from-the-sky move where Chow was paying homage to the early 50s 60s 70s HK martial art TV/films with lots of high fantasy moves. And finally there was the final brawl with lots of wire-works referencing the current Hollywood/HK collaboration productions like The Matrix.
    There are just too many to mention. Hope you have found more appreciation to this than just great laughs. =)

      I've seen all these 'masters' in original kung fu films, but they are either so ubiquitous of character or I've just seen so many that I can't place them specifically. Pretty much a "I've seen them before in a kung fu film" kind of feel. Still, so epic to have so many on a fun project.

    Many consider one of the big translation "mistakes" in the English translation that you watched was the use of Helen of Troy and Paris as the true names of the landlord and landlady (in place of Xiao Long Nu and Yang Guo of the original Chinese). Whilst both couples are in some sense doomed by their relationship, they really are quite different couples in nature. Truthfully though, there really is no easily recognisable Western pairing to this star-crossed couple from Chinese wuxia literature, which is why later English translations used Dragon Girl and Condor Hero in the subtitles, expecting Western audiences by this time to be much more informed (or at least curious) by this time.
    But then his film Shaolin Soccer of three years previously had been one of the first to really be successful amongst Western audiences, so some hesitation could be expected. The vignette where he squashed the kid's soccer ball was in fact his answer to the demand by Western audiences for a sequel to this highly popular movie. All of Stephen Chow's body of work is worth watching, including the stuff where he was just the director.
    There are lots of loving homages to classic wuxia laced throughout this movie.

    Ah, another showcase of the one thing that makes me love kung fu or martial art movies in general...the constant different approaches or school of thought forming or displaying new styles. Always makes me feel like I'm watching music or even watching different artist draw. Don't get me wrong, I like good stories no matter the genre...I just think that this little aspect is kind of a story in itself not really found anywhere else. Everything else usually will present a mirror or the other side of the coin instead of a multitude of divergence.

    Always gotta love appreciation for this 👍
    Just a few notes though, as someone else said, “big brother” was just a literal translation of the respectful term, “dage”
    The landlady wanted to evict the three masters because it was them the axe gang would be coming after, not the other residents
    But after they died they told everyone to leave so as not to take chances
    That’s also why there wasn’t anyone in the building when he blew it up with the palm move

    Stephen Chow is one of the comedy genius in this era. Produce, direct, and star in many best selling movies in Chinese movie industry. Because of the quality of his movies, he is able to make unknown, or considered ugly actor/actress famous. Even many already famous actor/actress are willing to put funny/ugly makeup just to be able to star in his movies ❤

    There's a nice little Bruce Lee angle in this movie. The Landlord was one of the extras with Bruce Lee in Enter The Dragon in 1973. The scene with the Landlady in the back seat of the car, was also a nod to Bruce Lee, with the silent fist, knuckle cracking, nose rubbing etc.

    The lady that got shot in the beginning is the crocodile gang leader's mistress or girlfriend, not the ax gang leader's sister. I was puzzled for a bit when you said, "his sister" but then I realised it's a cultural difference thing. In Chinese culture, "da ge" doesn't always literally mean older brother, it is also used as a respectful (but informal) and slightly friendly way to address an older male. The Korean analogue for it would be "oppa"; whilst the Japanese would say -kun.

    • @victorho2945

      Also the toad martial arts at the end is a reference to the wuxia genre (Chinese martial arts fantasy novels). When the couple introduced themselves as Yang Guo and Xiaolongnv, that too was a popular wuxia reference. There were many other references and clues hidden (the long nails and musician duo, the lion's roar, and many others).
      P.s. the hints for the couple's martial arts were given in their introduction scene because of her scream and the fact that he could be thrown off a building and not die (both of these are well known martial art skills in the wuxia genre).

    • @victorho2945
      @victorho2945 Рік тому +1

      Sorry sorry, just to add one more thing, you guys called this a "Kung Fu film", but in Chinese cinematography, we would consider this an "wuxia film" which are films inspired by the wuxia genre (i.e. heavy in fantasy). Whereas the "Kung Fu film" genre refers to martial arts films that are based in realism (e.g. donnie yen's movies).

  • @vil3f4ng

    hints about the main character Singh is the one and subtlety showing his potentials:
    1) when Singh 1st arrive to the village, he stepped on a soccer ball and DESTROYED it (it is also a tribute to his previous movie [shaolin soccer]), ever think a normal person can do the same?
    2) during flashback, the beggar spotted kid Singh and pointed out he is special by stating the potentials of his body (ya the movie presents the beggar like a scammer to discredit his words during earlier on)
    3) after the knife scene, the cobra-poisoned Singh managed to outrun the landlady, who is actually a top martial artist as we later learn (the looney toon comedy chase scene easily puts us not taking it seriously)
    4) Singh managed to to clear his cobra poison using the "buddha palm" techniques he learnt when he is kid. i know it is debatable and never clearly explained, but in the kungfu genre fictions, there are common scenes that characters get rid of poisons using kungfu skills or chi-flow (so the movie is subtlety telling us, that Singh can expel the poison through directing chi-flow out of his fist palm attack, whether Singh himself realize or not)
    5) from the metal structure of the traffic light, we can see Singh "buddha palm" actually quite powerful even at that stage, the metal platings were imprinted like polystyrene to Singh palm attacks (only at the end of the movie, we were shown truly how destructive his "buddha palm" chi-flow attack leaving palm prints on solid grounds / buildings)
    6) and lastly Singh recovered his knife wounds and cobra bites so quick when he meets up with his friend as if nothing happened, showing he has, or newly awakened, his healing regeneration ability (so later when he got beaten up by the Beast, is not the first time he could heal up so quicky)

    Stephen chows comedy is known as ‘mo lei tau’ or nonsensical comedy which mixes parody and slapstick style and makes references to pop culture. This film was a homage to all the old kung fu flicks in the 70s and 80s. Sadly, this would be his last film he starred and directed in that shows the peak of his style. His work afterwards has never been the same since.

    Or causally to a male stranger as big brother. ( hey big brother, can u move your car a little.)
