An funny outing for Chow but nowhere near as funny as his other period comedies Flirting Scholar or Forbidden City Cop. The funniest scenes come from Chow learning the matial art of cursing, spewing animated explatives that mysteriously cause the sea to explode and the dead to reanimate. I can't help thinking I'm missing something as a lot of the comedy relies heavily on cantonese wordplay. 7/10
