I had an intention to watch the movie for the last few years, the only thing that stopped me was a thought that this was a typical type of an action movie, just with some comedy elements. Take for instance any film with Jackie Chan in the leading role, if you want to understand to what type of movie am I inclining.
However, to my biggest surprise, it's absolutely not the case.
The movie is something like a parody to the whole asian action genre. It's about enormously hyperbolizing action scenes, making fun of eastern philosophical dialogues (inherent to Kung Fu movies) by using proverbs and wise quotes absurdly.
The whole movie is about total absurd with quite decent visual effects for its time.
If you like absurd humor, you will most likely consider this movie to be a hilarious one.
Due to my humble opinion, it's one of the best representatives of its genre.
