Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hilarious~~~~
Review: This is a great James Bond parody with funny jokes that all somehow ties together and seems to flow. It's not just a comedy/parody, it also has some moments of sadness,drama,action but most of all big laughs that will translate even to those who don't understand Cantonese. Stephen Chow is great as usual as is the very talented Anita Yuen (former Miss HK) who isn't afraid to be funny two of my favorite scenes is when her character accidently shoots herself and the excecution scene near the end. Watch this movie if your looking for something with lots of laughs!!.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Essential viewing for Stephen Chow fans!
Review: This is a thoroughly enjoyable parody of the James Bond series. Although some of the comedy is lost because of differences in language and culture the movie remains to be universally funny. The hero Ling Ling Chai(007!) suprises everyone with his skilled use of the butchers knife and suave spy appeal. As in the Bond series there is the cruel villain,the initially misguided heroine and the quite ridiculous Mansai who is a poor mans chinese version of Q! All in all it is a joy to watch and once is certainly not enough!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fabulous Introduction & Parody!
Review: This is the best introduction to Stephen Chow for non Asian viewers. The special effects are easily up to par w/ all the other James Bond movies..if not better. Plus, you have the ever funny and subversive wit of Mr Chow. This was the very first one I saw of his..and still in my top 5. Maybe it was because all these HK movie books said not to watch him. Well..,they were wrong..even us foreign devils can understand this one very easily. He is the most gifted actor,writer, & goofball there is. 5 Stars for this still stands. Buy this..you'll be glad you took a chance.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This movie is Insane.
Review: What in the world was Stephen Chow thinking? In the sense of James Bond spoofs this is one of the worst of its kind. but it is still incredibly funny. this is the funnel cake of movies...figure that out for yourself, bliddy
