series Stephen Chow: The King of Comedy
Directed by Gordon Chan | 1992
With Stephen Chow, Sharla Cheung, Man Tat Ng
The spoiled son (Chow) of a Qing dynasty-era nobleman sets out to become a martial arts master in order to win the love of a courtesan—and winds up becoming a beggar in the process. This goofball “chopsocky” spoof is highlighted by one of Chow’s most brilliantly hilarious set pieces, in which he kung fu fights an opponent…whilst dozing off!
