Let me start off by saying I watched Kung fu (2004) just yesterday and I have been watching all of Ng Man Tat movies since I heard of his passing.. god bless RIP and ok I know that he is not in Kungfu that is not the point I'm stating here
The reason I wrote this review is not to mention the action and the CGI because if you talk about CGI and action Kung fu is one and still the have the affects after all this years ok back to what I'm about to say director Jeffrey Lau when he directed this movie it is meant for Hong Kong and asean market esp Cantonese speakers world wide that's why westerners did not get most of the joke, furthermore I been watching a lot of journey to the west movie since I was a lad back then tv series and movies adaptations
To say the least this is indeed a masterpiece on the subject.. they make the first alternate version of the movie and spins it accordingly even the new journey to the west directed by Chow did not hold a candle near to this masterpiece 1&2 esp 2
Let me get back to kungfu I think from Kungfu onwards a lot of his jokes and even action are totally different and leaning towards pleasing westerner and world wide audience. That's my two cent thanks
