A Chinese Odyssey Part One - Pandora's Box (1995)
Reviewed by: jfierro on 1999-12-21
Using the characters from the classic tale "Journey to the West,"this movie has the Monkey King banished to human form awaiting his master, the Longetivity Monk, to return him to his god-like form. Of course, it just so happens that the expected reunion between the Monkey King and the Longetivity Monk will happen in Stephen Chow's village. When a pair of evil sisters come to the village looking for revenge against the Monkey King, you know Stephen will end up in the middle of it. A fun movie mixing legend and comedy, with some often inspired genius by Stephen and director Jeff Lau. Unfortunately, the second part is a big letdown.
