Good day everybody.
I have just watched this show, and for people who are up for a good laugh, this show cannot be missed.
Many different styles of kung fu were portrayed, but I can only offer my comments on one, Hung Gar. In it, there was an exponent of a style called Tam Gar's 12 kicks, another exponent of Ng Long Pa Kwa Kun, and an exponent of Hung Gar's Tit Sin Kuen, played by GM Chiu Chi Ling. Other styles portrayed (I do not know if it was accurate) were Tai Chi, Lion's Roar and Kun Lun Toad Skill.
The fight scenes were not too bad, although unbelievable (3 masters against maybe 100?). The flavour of Hung Gar was done pretty well by GM Chiu, showing off a range of elemental attacks. Other than that, I found it quite offensive that the Hung Gar practitioner was portrayed as a tailor with gay tendencies, but then again, it is a comedy.
I would recommend this movie as it really does show some real kung fu to those who can pick it out, not much of those flying around things. As the movie progressed, it got more and more exaggerated, with people able to fly and those super attacks which blows up walls were issued.
All in all, a good movie for a laugh. What else would you expect of a Stephen Chow movie?
Warmest regards, Tze Hou

Tze Hou ni hao Entertainment industries, the main purpose is for entertaining the audiences. That's it, no more no less. I can understand that sometimes they can cause unpleasant feeling for martial art practitioner to watch. So many unreal and exaggeration scenes. This often mislead and give different image of what real martial art is But the world need entertainment, just enjoy them ;D Cheers.

Good day everybody.
Suhana: Yes I am sure that the portrayal was very much for entertainment purposes, as the crowd who do not know GM Chiu's actual personality burst out laughing at his silliness. However, he did show how to use Hung Gar's element attacks to fend off multiple attackers, which I found quite credible, providing the exponent has that skill level to ensure the proper execution of the techniques.
pitbull: Ah I have not watched that show yet, a review of it maybe? Is it an old kung fu show or is it a new one? The only scene with flying daggers in Kung Fu Hustle was hilarious, I will not spoil it by telling you guys what happened.
Warmest regards, Tze Hou

Good day Suhana.
The coins must be specifically manufactured in 1996 and 1997?
I will post those to you, don't worry about reimbursing me, it is ok.
Might I ask what is the purpose behind this? It's ok if you don't want to tell me, or if you want, you could email me about it.
Warmest regards, Tze Hou

Glad you can assist me in this matter. Yes, they must be the one printed in 1996 and or 1997. It's part of my research (Daoism) stuff. I'll explain in detail later. Btw, let me know your email address. Cheers.
