My Kungfu sweetheart DVDRip
Welcome to the fantasy martial arts world of (in)famous Hong Kong director Wong Jing, who has, in the 80s and 90s, brought to us many "Mo Lei Tao" (nonsensical) movies, and have collaborated with Stephen Chow in many of his earlier comedic outings, fueled with countless sexual innuendos.
With the sex obviously toned down (there are still some recreated for cheap laughs), Wong Jing seemed to have lost his Midas Touch, and the first 10 minutes of the film somewhat resembled a cross between Mortal Kombat and the recent Sky High.
Reuniting Yuen Wah and Yuen Qiu after their successful outing in Stephen Chow's Kung Fu, here they play a married couple, who in secret are highly skilled martial arts exponents. When their daughter Phoenix (Cecilia Cheung) has matured, they bring her to Hua Mountain to have her train at the Kung Fu Academy. There she meets other martial arts experts, while discovering the roots of an evil exponent called Pai Mei ("White Eyebrows"). In the spirit of competitiveness, she makes a mortal "enemy" in another student called Rouge.
Anyway, it's Mo Lei Tao galore as she graduates from the Academy, goes back to Hong Kong, and lives life as a mousy secretary, falling in love with her manager Dragon (played by Leo Ku), while trying to reconcile her feuding parents - Yuen Wah and Yuen Qiu bringing back their chemistry here. And as always, every character will be related to every other character, as
we go one big round to the inevitable final showdown.
Those who are not weaned on martial arts stories might find it a challenge to understand the jokes, especially since those stories provide the fuel for the laughs, ranging from the ridiculous looking condor, to the essence of the martial arts manual. Even the characters' names are not spared, with two renowned writers Louis Cha and Gu Long thrown into the mix as well.
But it's a Wong Jing movie, so plot (what plot?) doesn't really matter as scenes are made up and stuck together, that they don't flow or make logical sense anyhow. And yes, toilets do make an appearance, you can never discount that. However, it's lacking the punch in the delivery of its punchlines, probably because most scenes seemed contrived, or the current batch of actors can't match up with those from the good old days, and maybe since it's dubbed in Mandarin
too that some jokes were found wanting.
No doubt it says "Kung Fu" in its title, don't expect any ground-breaking action sequences or effects to spruce up the fights. But if you prefer something light-hearted from the usual actioners like Fearless, or none too melodramatic moments from local fare I Not Stupid Too, then perhaps this movie might serve as your alternative this festive season.
And as always, the director will cast himself as a minor character amongst many other throw-away characters in the movie. See if you can spot him!
