    I just watched "God of Cookery" again recently, still one of my favorite comedies of all time, and it still holds up (I had to special order the DVD online -- impossible to find in Chinatown!). Damn, but that film is cruelly hilarious.

    Time for new Chow!

      oh yes, that's in my list of tope 5 movies to show people to introduce asian cinema, I love it, and why is it that you can't usually find that one in Chinatown, they always have Kung Fu Hustle and tons of his old films around but why not GOC? Odd. Btw is from Bejing with love worth a purchase?

          I watched this on the 30th january, the day it was released in China. However, the cinema showed a version in Mandarin without English subtitles, so some parts I didn't understand. I'm waiting to see it with English subtitles before I make up my mind about the movie. I laughed out loud but not as much as I have watching his other movies. However, I think it's possibly because I couldn't understand it all. So, I'll wait until I've seen one with subtitles and then make up my mind. :o)

        That's one I don't have, though I own something like 10 of his films (only 50 more to go!).

        Another old favorite is "Flirting Scholar" (typically misspelled on the package as "Flirtong"). It's very, very silly and very entertaining.
