Chow’s inaugural directing effort was a James Bond spoof. A man called Golden Gun steals China’s only fossilized dinosaur skull, and Chow stars as 007, the agent tasked by the government with getting it back. But when he finds out that Golden Gun was actually hired by the very same government to steal the skull, well, shenanigans ensue. While being...
The true translation of Chow’s next film’s Chinese title was “Imperial Secret Agent 008”, so you know it won’t be straying too far from the themes of his first film. The twist is that rather than a simple action comedy, this is a wuxia comedy set in ancient China. Chow plays Ling Ling-Fat, one of the emperor’s cadre of personal bodyguards, who is a...
Chow is a wizard when it comes to blending just about any genre with comedy, and here he does it with science fiction. Chow plays Chow Ti, a down-on-his-luck single father unable to afford the robot toy his young son, Dicky, begs him for. Instead, Ti finds a mysterious green orb at a junkyard and gives it to Dicky in lieu of the robot. The orb gets...
Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons ushered in a new era of Chow’s films, where he focused solely on directing and did not appear in the film himself. The big budget blockbuster was based on a classic 16th century Chinese novel entitled Journey to the West, and featured a colorful cast of demons from Chinese folklore. It starred well-known a...
This is one of the outliers in Chow’s filmography, in that it’s a straight comedy, without action blended in (although maybe a little bit of drama). It’s the bittersweet tale of Wan Tin-Sau, played sensitively by Chow, an acting teacher at a tiny community center who dreams of stardom, taking movie extra roles whenever he can, and going a little to...
Chow’s most recent film is a remake of his first, The King of Comedy, this time with a new cast and set in mainland China. He stays true to the original concept, and his lead actress had started out just like the original main character and Chow himself, struggling along as an extra. In consciously going back to his beginnings, it is thought that t...
The 1996 comedy is typical Chow: silly, delightful, wacky, and not a little frenetic. Chow stars as a celebrity chef who actually knows nothing about cooking, but his corrupt ways have helped him launch an entire empire built around cooking. But when he’s unmasked as a fraud at his own restaurant’s anniversary ceremony, he ends up on the street, an...
The ninth most successful Chinese film of all time, The Mermaid opens in the world of mermen, who have decided that something needs to be done about the dire state of pollution in their waters, which is sickening and killing them. A property tycoon named Liu Xuan has bought the area where they live, and plans to annihilate the area’s aquatic life. ...
In the same way that Shaolin Soccerbrought the delight of Stephen Chow films to the wider American public, the plot follows five former Shaolin brothers who reunite after years of estrangement, and bring Shaolin kung fu to the masses through soccer. Chow leads the cast as “Golden Leg” Fung, who had been a soccer star until suffering a cynical injur...
If you thought Shaolin Soccer was the most out-there film you could imagine, hold onto your hats. Chow goes back to 1940s Shanghai as Sing, a pathetic thief who, along with his best friend Bone, longs to join the bloodthirsty yet stylish Axe Gang. There is a desperate slum that just happens to be populated by a number of kung fu masters; a pair of ...
