My Hero is supposed to be a triad comedy in a way, which is a bad idea straight away. It’s very hard to make a comedy and at the same time dealing with violent triads. The story and plot are all over the place, as most of the time it is serious and a lot of brutal scenes, then minutes later Stephen Chow is on the screen making jokes. In fact parts of it are set so slow, a good 20 minutes could have been left out. Wilson Lam is the only person to save this film in any sort of way, as the rest of it is pretty unbearable, even with Anne Bridgewater. Shing Fui On was given a much bigger role than usual, and was very good.

I won’t add anything else to the story as the other reviews sort of sum up what story there might be. It’s certainly “Mo Lai Tau”.

Leung Kar Yan really messed up on this film. He couldn’t make up his mind if he wanted to do a comedy or serious film. In my opinion, if Stephen Chow had been left out, it would have been a lot more enjoyable, as you can’t take anything seriously when he is joking around (incidentally, his jokes are not funny in this). Probably the best parts of the movie is in the middle as they travel to Thailand (I think that is where it was). Watch out for the end though, it gets very over-dramatic.

Rating: 2/5
