Storm Riders

I love this movie, my sons remember watching it with me when they were little. This version however has english subtitles which makes it hard to watch. Still a good family action movie.B00004RF3O50A3Q1AH9TIP76Y4A3Q1AH9TIP76Y4Crystal MushongaArlington Texas02009-03-15

Correct the info, please.......

Someone should check this information and correct it. Takeshi Kaneshiro is NOT in this movie. It is Ekin Chen and Aaron Kwok in the title roles. Both are great actors and singers, but they aren't Takeshi. Trust me,I have this and it doesn't have Takeshi anywhere. I like it, and it's great fantasy entertainment, but it'd probably be better WITH Takehsi Kaneshiro. Anyhoo, please correct the info.B00004RF3O10A27YFC7IUJVG8AA27YFC7IUJVG8ATroy HunterT.H.Louisville, Ky United States12008-10-15

Don't waste your time

I didn't like this movie. I didn't like the look of the film or it's simplistic plot. Move on.B00004RF3O11A3IBS7JF83QTOHA3IBS7JF83QTOHcavaleablank_blankPTU, AK22008-09-13

What the ^%$#

I ordered this movie thinking it would be a good movie to watch, but I HATED it after the first 10 minutes and turned it of! Was finally able to watch the whole movie and man was it disapointing!!!DescriptionBased on the best-selling, long-running martial arts comic book series "Fung Wan: Wind and Cloud" by celebrated artist Ma Wing-Shing, "The Storm Riders" stars Hong Kong pop superstars Ekin Cheng and Aaron Kwok as orphans raised by the powerful Conqueror, who taught them martial arts so to help him dominate the world.B000HT3RB8The Storm RidersB00004STT7A Man Called HeroB000CDGVOYZu WarriorsB000FUZY38Shadowless SwordB00104AYGKLegend of the Black Scorpion503182General464426Hong Kong Action163296Action & Adventure404276Genres130DVD139452Video463890General163307Martial Arts163296Action & Adventure404276Genres130DVD139452Video722726011General AAS163307Martial Arts163296Action & Adventure404276Genres130DVD139452Video163328General163313Art House & International404276Genres130DVD139452Video503188Fantasy503180Hong Kong284926By Country163313Art House & International404276Genres130DVD139452Video722738011General AAS503180Hong Kong284926By Country163313Art House & International404276Genres130DVD139452Video163314Action & Adventure502904By Genre163313Art House & International404276Genres130DVD139452Video735772Fantasy Adventures163440Fantasy163431Science Fiction & Fantasy404276Genres130DVD139452Video735766General163440Fantasy163431Science Fiction & Fantasy404276Genres130DVD139452Video722789011General AAS163440Fantasy163431Science Fiction & Fantasy404276Genres130DVD139452Video417488Cheng, Lawrence416120( C )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video417540Cheung, Roy416120( C )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video417558Chiba, Sonny416120( C )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video423418Fong, Alex422476( F )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video432128Kwok, Aaron430468( K )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video439172Ng, Christine438726( N )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video355672011Hong Kong355670011Asian Cinema355667011Foreign & International251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video355832011Martial Arts355824011By Genre355667011Foreign & International251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video355668011General355667011Foreign & International251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video297864DTS295214Fully Loaded DVDs251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video579548( S )579510Titles251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video1240754011Romance163375Romantic Comedies163394Romantic Drama251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video387546011DVD387545011Format (binding)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video390121011Widescreen390118011Picture Format (format)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video671501011Letterboxed390118011Picture Format (format)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video405392011DVDs Playable in any Region405390011Region (feature_two_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video5620910111990 - 1999562084011Decade (feature_three_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video603116011Collector's Edition603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video603113011Dolby603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video603119011Letterboxed603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video671503011Collector's & Special Edition603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video643791011Grade Level (feature_five_browse-bin)643792011Preschool643793011Kindergarten643794011Elementary School643800011Middle & High School643808011College643809011Post-Graduate386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video671508011Dolby671506011Audio Type (feature_six_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452VideoR1XICF8ES7G9R8Asian SensationsRALSJKZCBJMTDMartial Arts Movies: My collectionRGO489YDNICTYFantasy!!

This movie has it's moments

King of Beggars tends to be too talkative for people that don't understand Chinese, especially in the first third of the movie. The middle of the film shows Chow using his charm and showcasing his acting skills as well as some decent tournament action. The last part of the film goes a little into crazy land so it is not as exciting or entertaining. Chow's movies typically get too crazy at the end.630505219020APIW11UEPKIC2APIW11UEPKIC2morgothwe lamas are traditional enemies of the shaolinomaha, NE02007-04-17

Sleeping style!!

Buddha Assassinator is one of my favorite kung fu movies because the final fight invloves a crazy sleeping style of kung fu. I will talk about the action in a minute but I had to mention the sleeping style ASAP since it is so rare to see in a movie. Stephen Chow plays the king of beggars. Once a rich young man and great in kung fu, he gets cheated out of everything he should have had by a government official. He is now forced to become a beggar with his father. The main problem is that the movie just doesn't flow together very well. There is just too much beggar talk. The story doesn't move along at all except at the start and end. The rest is just mindless talking. This starts out like a kung fu movie, but when Chow becomes a beggar, that becomes the main focus of the story. The action is very good when it does happen and I loved the sleeping style. Sleeping style has been used in a few older movies and it was nice to finally see it in a newer one, but they could have used it more. The undercranking is way too fast but the fights are still pretty good. 2.5/5630505219052A3IY28PW12MSVNA3IY28PW12MSVNChristine Wong22007-02-14

Very Enjoyable Although The Ending Gets Sloppy

I've seen most of Stephen Chow's movies and would rank "King Of Beggars" among his better works. I thought it was a really hilarious film, with a good plot and premise, although the ending feels a bit rushed and sloppy. Basic plot: Chow plays "So Chan", the very spoiled son of the governor of Canton. He meets a courtesan, Yu-Shang, who tells him she will only have him if he becomes a great kung-fu master. Inspired, So Chan signs up for a "Kung Fu Scholar" tournament, but certain events lead to him being banished and sentenced by the emperor to be a homeless beggar. Chow is particular adept at playing characters who fall from great height only to rise up again, and this is what he does here. When Yu-Shang is kidnapped by a corrupt official in the emperor's cabinet, So Chan attempts to learn kung fu seriously to rescue Yu-Shang. This is a very funny movie, featuring more of Chow's "moleitau" (nonsense) humor. One of the funniest scenes in the movie is So Chan learning the "sleeping disciple" stance, where he dozes off in between throwing punches and kicks! That really is as funny as it sounds. The fight scenes in this movie are quite good as well. Chow has some martial arts training (due to his admiration of Bruce Lee) and he's really quite convincing in his fight scenes. It's also a nice coming-of-age movie, especially when we see how So Chan deals with his guilt and embarassment of having fallen to such low depths. My only problem with the movie is that the ending feels a little rushed. But it still ends conclusively and it's a great ride throughout. This was one of the biggest box office winners in HK when it came out in 1992. It was a very enjoyable film. 6305052190412AE406KTTZ7L64AE406KTTZ7L64K. WhislerCHICAGO, IL USA142004-01-27

Worth the purchase price for the "sleeping disciple" scenes.

This is the only Stephen Chow (spelled Chiau on the box) film that I've ever seen, but I am determined to see more of them. Not only is he a physically talented comedic actor and convincing as a kung fu master, he is also quite pleasing to look at. The plot is silly, but it works well with the comic delivery. I particularly enjoyed the scenes where Chow's character uses "sleeping disciple" kung fu, in which he seemingly yawns and stretches while hitting his opponent in the face, etc. Well-done special effects, just this side of cheesy, show the sorcery and magical kung fu moves.Since Amazon hasn't given you a summary, here's mine: Young ne'er-do-well Su Chan (Chow) falls in love with a courtesan. In order to win her hand in marriage, he signs up for an imperial examination to become a military officer. For reasons partially attributable to Tin Li Jiao, an evil Taoist sorcerer and martial artist, and partially attributable to Su Chan's own laziness and his father's dishonesty, Su Chan winds up a beggar. He uses kung fu to rescue his ladylove and the Emperor when they fall into the clutches of Tin Li Jiao. The version I have (didn't buy it from Amazon, but looks like the same one) is in Cantonese and Mandarin with subtitles in traditional characters and English. The subtitle translations are just bad enough to be amusing, but not so bad as to be confusing. Because the English subtitles are plain white, they are hard to read against a light background. Fortunately, the plot of the film isn't so subtle that reading every subtitle is critical. I thought the film was entertaining and funny. Not a masterpiece, perhaps, but better than many action/comedy films out there. I'll definitely watch it again.630505219043A2X2WQP3XQOT94A2X2WQP3XQOT94avatar_73Mn,USA142000-06-13

Sophisticated and Witty... Well, most of the time

I had bought the movie "He's a Woman She's a Man" thinking that it would focus on a romantic story plot, but instead it had my family and I laughing throughout the movie. The pacing was light and quick, on contrary to regular Hong Kong movies. The jokes were very funny as well, so if you're looking for something to make you laugh and wrench your heart, then this movie is definitely for you.B0001KL4QI53A3S1G5T9NBTPTMA3S1G5T9NBTPTMJ. P.

when the moon hits your eye....

Easily one of the best chinese romantic comedies of the era. There's just something very cute about a woman dressing up as a guy to try to win the heart of a guy. Okay, maybe that's just me... In either case, it's a good movie, funny with lots of cameos of a few chinese acting legends. If you got a chinese girlfriend and you rent this movie, you'll be getting some tonight. (laughs that is - get your filthy mind out of the gutter!) Good movie for couples. Anita Yuen, who plays the lead, got an award for her role. RIGHTLY SO!B0001KL4QI55AUF3J6YFW7AMJAUF3J6YFW7AMJaoisoraNew York, NY52001-04-03

He's a woman? mistake? No, it's not...

If you love Hong Kong movie pacing, you will enjoy this romantic comedy. Sam, a music producer and Rose, a popular singer, love each other and everybody knows it. Although they live in different flats in a same building, secretly their rooms are connected. Actually there is a secret door on the floor of Sam's room leading to Rose's room by a small staircase. Also in the story is, Wing, a big fan of Rose. Wing's big dream is to see Sam and Rose live happily together, if even from heaven. One day, Sam and his co-worker decide to try to make an ordinary boy a superstar and he announces the plan. Many eager applicants swarm around them, Wing also gives it a shot, posing as a man and actually wins the role. So, Wing begins to live with Sam and the story starts from here... Sam begins to love Wing but he doesn't know 'He's a (really) woman.', and he dislikes the thought of being gay. Rose begins to feel heartbreak and Wing do not make Rose unhappy though Wing also begins to love Sam. The relationship becomes even more complicated.... You will enjoy the singing of Leslie Cheung in the movie. If you like this, be sure to catch the second movie, 'Who's the woman, who's the man.' when it comes out.DescriptionThe late Leslie Cheung (The Bride With White Hair, Farewell My Concubine) stars in this Hong Kong remake of Blake Edwards' Victor/Victoria. Tomboy Lam (Anita Yuen in a performance that won her the Best Actress award at the 1995 Hong Kong Film Awards) is so obsessed with pop music diva Rose (Carina Lau) that she decides to disguise as a man to meet her idol at a singing audition. There, Lam meets Sam (Cheung), Rose's producer-boyfriend who signs the talentless "boy" to a recording contract to spite his moody girlfriend. It doesn't take long before Rose--and Sam--find themselves both falling for Lam!B0001OGV44Who's the Woman, Who's the ManB0010SAGHILust, Caution (Widescreen Edition)163328General163313Art House &

wish I'd watched it sooner

This movie was very interesting. As with most of Sammo's movies, they're always great, but rather confusing at times..maybe its because the lack of translation with the Chinese/English. But if you're a fan of Sammo or Yuen, you shouldn't be disappointed. I bought the movie just because the incredibly talented Mr. Biao is in it..never disappoints me..His pole scene at the beginning is fantastic, running through a mine field hysterical..and the fight between Sammo and Yuen was awesome. I had this dvd for 6 months before I watched it. Now I wish I had watched it sooner. Anita Mui has "quite a set of legs" as my guy friends put it! She's incredible. Don't watch it for the history, watch it if you like the cast.B0000296QZ32A32AKKZRP848H8A32AKKZRP848H8Greg BulmashLynnwood, WA United States22001-03-06

The Romance of History

This film takes place at the end of an era as Chang Kai Shek's rule of China comes into conflict with the growing people's revolution. Set against this historical backdrop is a tale of cops, mobsters, stolen money, a nightclub, and the dreams of a pair of brothers... one a cop, one flirting with the wrong side of the law.I originally watched this just because Sammo Hung is in it, but found myself paying attention all the way through because of the story. Aside from the action, it's a story about allegiances/responsibilities and dreams coming into conflict.It's more than just an action film, though somewhat less than a great historical drama, and it seems to have trouble deciding which it wants to be more, thus only three stars.The juxtaposition of the action element with a fairly complex historical plot is a bit hard to reconcile for both the viewer (and it seems the filmmakers too), but the historical element is what really makes it worth watching if you enjoy both history and action.B0000296QZ5002000-02-05

I am a little let down with this one. I'm not sure what catagory this movie was intened for but given the cast I thought it was a martial arts movie. If this was its goal I'm afraid it comes up a bit short. There is some sparse action sprinkled about, but it's not enough for it to get by on. Sammo Hung and Anita Mui only get one chance to show off their skills near the end, and even then is is only a fair display of their talents. As for the story line, maby it was just poorly subtiled. I had an unusualy difficult time trying to make sense of what was going on and who people were. Still if you are a fan of the cast, some of it is rather enjoyable and worth seeing once. A little tip, stick with the Mandarin track, the Cantonese needs help. If your looking for something to own along the same lines I recomend "My Father is a Hero." with Jet Li and Anita Mui.B00000JZJDThe Inspector Wears Skirts163328General163313Art House & International404276Genres130DVD139452Video413004Biao, Yuen411316( B )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video417488Cheng, Lawrence416120( C )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video432298Lam, Sandy432148( L )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video432296Lam, George432148( L )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video438458Mui, Anita434574( M )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video439324Niu, Tien438726( N )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video355668011General355667011Foreign & International251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video579548( S )579510Titles251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video387546011DVD387545011Format (binding)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video390121011Widescreen390118011Picture Format (format)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video671501011Letterboxed390118011Picture Format (format)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video405384011Unrated405383011MPAA Rating (feature_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video405392011DVDs Playable in any Region405390011Region (feature_two_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video5620910111990 - 1999562084011Decade (feature_three_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video603123011Closed Caption603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video603119011Letterboxed603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video671505011Standard Edition603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video643791011Grade Level (feature_five_browse-bin)643792011Preschool643793011Kindergarten643794011Elementary School643800011Middle & High School643808011College643809011Post-Graduate386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video671506011Audio Type (feature_six_browse-bin)671507011Digital Sound671508011Dolby671509011Surround Sound386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video31QB2MQHU19TAThe Best Asia has to offer part 13G6YL9Q6TYDQMA Must Have Hong Kong Movies On DVDI143HOZ210ADGreat Movies Everyone Should Have on DVD And VHS Part 2B00005OW3Rhttp://www.amazon.com/Fung-wan-Hung-tin-Region/dp/B00005OW3R%3FSubscriptionId%3D1DWXK7HJTP76664KT902%26tag%3Dws%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB00005OW3R260450Aaron KwokEkin ChengSonny ChibaKristy YangQi ShuPG-13 (Parental Guidance Suggested)DVDWai-keung LauJessinta LiuJohn ChuManfred WongManfred WongZhu An LiWing-Shing MaWai-keung Lau5024571700300PALEnglishSubtitledCantoneseOriginal LanguageEnglishDubbed25871018542DVDABIS_DVD21281998Fung wan: Hung ba tin ha [Region 2]2845USD$28.452844USD$28.441100003.510121B00005OW3R30A3T5SIEFPJ6QIXA3T5SIEFPJ6QIXJ.

Correct the info, please.......

Someone should check this information and correct it. Takeshi Kaneshiro is NOT in this movie. It is Ekin Chen and Aaron Kwok in the title roles. Both are great actors and singers, but they aren't Takeshi. Trust me,I have this and it doesn't have Takeshi anywhere. I like it, and it's great fantasy entertainment, but it'd probably be better WITH Takehsi Kaneshiro. Anyhoo, please correct the info.B00005OW3R10A27YFC7IUJVG8AA27YFC7IUJVG8ATroy HunterT.H.Louisville, Ky United States12008-10-15

Non-stop fun - and CYF in drag.

While the plot of this movie is funny unto itself, the one true reason to see this film is the *incredible* performance by Chow Yun-Fat. You've seen him as the ruthless cop, the compassionate assassin, the toughened prison inmate. Now you can see him as "a sissy girl" (to quote the subtitles in the plot) - but it's all a sham to cover the fact he's a shameless womanizer. Well, it makes sense when you see the film.Also included is one of the wildest spoofs of Chinese opera you'll ever see.Funny from the opening credits ("The Blue Danube Waltz" with Chinese lyrics!) to the end of the closing credits. Obscene telephone calls, Chow Yun-Fat crossdressing, a sword-wielding mom and Cherie Cheung in a wild cameo role as a girl just wanting to have fun. What more could you want?Super fun.Amazon.comOne of Chow Yun-fat's most successful comedies of the 1980s, a fundamentally conventional romp about three bachelor brothers (a cartoonist, a TV cooking instructor, and an aspiring actor) who stumble into romance. But it's spiced up by an unusually rich mix of indigenous Cantonese flavors. The careers of several characters link them to the Chinese opera stage, and the characterizations are stylized in an intentionally "operatic" way. Chow plays a man who pretends to be gay in order to ingratiate himself with women; and his flamboyant camping--complete with limp wrists and Black Lagoon mud packs--is only a little more flamboyant than the other key performances. In the finale, the entire cast appears in traditional makeup and performs a scene from the classic Cantonese opera The Purple Hairpin, with the lyrics satirically altered. The ethnic seasoning here may finally be too exotic for Western tastes: in fact, most of the mile-a-minute wordplay is inaccessible even to speakers of other Chinese dialects. (A few key puns are translated in the helpful subtitles, including a running gag conflating the Cantonese words for "love bite" and "chicken curry.") But the fun of watching Chow Yun-fat strut, squeal, and preen his way through an entire movie transcends cultural barriers. No film performer on earth seems to have more fun earning his living, and the pleasure is infectious. --David Chute899496Chow Yun-Fat899482Action Stars163296Action & Adventure404276Genres130DVD139452Video163328General163313Art House & International404276Genres130DVD139452Video503184Comedy503180Hong Kong284926By Country163313Art House & International404276Genres130DVD139452Video722738011General AAS503180Hong Kong284926By Country163313Art House & International404276Genres130DVD139452Video163324Comedy502904By Genre163313Art House & International404276Genres130DVD139452Video163371General163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video291107Siblings291103By Theme163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video722747011General AAS163375Romantic Comedies163357Comedy404276Genres130DVD139452Video417480Cheng, Carol Dodo416120( C )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video417488Cheng, Lawrence416120( C )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video417534Cheung, Jacky416120( C )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video417622Cho, Charlie416120( C )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video432124Kwan, Teddy Robin430468( K )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video446116Sham, John444858( S )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video453718Yuen, Fennie453438( Y )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video422718Yun-Fat, Chow453438( Y )404278Actors & Actresses251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video462850To, Johnny462650( T )403502Directors251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video355672011Hong Kong355670011Asian Cinema355667011Foreign & International251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video355668011General355667011Foreign & International251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video579520( E )579510Titles251273011Custom Stores44261011Specialty Stores130DVD139452Video387546011DVD387545011Format (binding)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video390121011Widescreen390118011Picture Format (format)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video405384011Unrated405383011MPAA Rating (feature_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video405392011DVDs Playable in any Region405390011Region (feature_two_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video5620900111980 - 1989562084011Decade (feature_three_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video603113011Dolby603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video671505011Standard Edition603112011Special Editions (feature_four_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video643791011Grade Level (feature_five_browse-bin)643792011Preschool643793011Kindergarten643794011Elementary School643800011Middle & High School643808011College643809011Post-Graduate386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video671508011Dolby671506011Audio Type (feature_six_browse-bin)386709011Refinements130DVD139452Video3OWZMZ11E7W2XOrdinal Numbers on DVD3S4U44967CIQBHappinessB000009MRWhttp://www.amazon.com/King-Beggars-Stephen-Chow/dp/B000009MRW%3FSubscriptionId%3D1DWXK7HJTP76664KT902%26tag%3Dws%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB000009MRW215136http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51TGBEE3JZL._SL75_.jpg7543http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51TGBEE3JZL._SL160_.jpg16092http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51TGBEE3JZL.jpg475273http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51TGBEE3JZL._SL30_.jpg3017http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51TGBEE3JZL._SL75_.jpg7543http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51TGBEE3JZL._SL160_.jpg16092http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51TGBEE3JZL.jpg475273Stephen ChowSharla CheungMan Tat NgNorman ChuWai LamNR (Not Rated)DVDDavid ChungGordon ChanChi-Leung KwongMei FengStephen SiuKin Chung ChanGordon Chan0601643333731ColorNTSCTai Seng Entertainment1995USD$19.95Tai Seng Entertainment11273238419DVDABIS_DVDTai Seng Entertainment02001-04-10101Tai Seng EntertainmentKing of Beggars6016433337311895USD$18.953495USD$34.951100004.051B000009MRW40A2APXNQER8ZL71A2APXNQER8ZL71Travislos angeles02009-01-24

This movie has it's moments

King of Beggars tends to be too talkative for people that don't understand Chinese, especially in the first third of the movie. The middle of the film shows Chow using his charm and showcasing his acting skills as well as some decent tournament action. The last part of the film goes a little into crazy land so it is not as exciting or entertaining. Chow's movies typically get too crazy at the end.B000009MRW20APIW11UEPKIC2APIW11UEPKIC2morgothwe lamas are traditional enemies of the shaolinomaha, NE02007-04-17

Sleeping style!!

Buddha Assassinator is one of my favorite kung fu movies because the final fight invloves a crazy sleeping style of kung fu. I will talk about the action in a minute but I had to mention the sleeping style ASAP since it is so rare to see in a movie. Stephen Chow plays the king of beggars. Once a rich young man and great in kung fu, he gets cheated out of everything he should have had by a government official. He is now forced to become a beggar with his father. The main problem is that the movie just doesn't flow together very well. There is just too much beggar talk. The story doesn't move along at all except at the start and end. The rest is just mindless talking. This starts out like a kung fu movie, but when Chow becomes a beggar, that becomes the main focus of the story. The action is very good when it does happen and I loved the sleeping style. Sleeping style has been used in a few older movies and it was nice to finally see it in a newer one, but they could have used it more. The undercranking is way too fast but the fights are still pretty good. 2.5/5B000009MRW52A3IY28PW12MSVNA3IY28PW12MSVNChristine Wong22007-02-14

Very Enjoyable Although The Ending Gets Sloppy

I've seen most of Stephen Chow's movies and would rank "King Of Beggars" among his better works. I thought it was a really hilarious film, with a good plot and premise, although the ending feels a bit rushed and sloppy. Basic plot: Chow plays "So Chan", the very spoiled son of the governor of Canton. He meets a courtesan, Yu-Shang, who tells him she will only have him if he becomes a great kung-fu master. Inspired, So Chan signs up for a "Kung Fu Scholar" tournament, but certain events lead to him being banished and sentenced by the emperor to be a homeless beggar. Chow is particular adept at playing characters who fall from great height only to rise up again, and this is what he does here. When Yu-Shang is kidnapped by a corrupt official in the emperor's cabinet, So Chan attempts to learn kung fu seriously to rescue Yu-Shang. This is a very funny movie, featuring more of Chow's "moleitau" (nonsense) humor. One of the funniest scenes in the movie is So Chan learning the "sleeping disciple" stance, where he dozes off in between throwing punches and kicks! That really is as funny as it sounds. The fight scenes in this movie are quite good as well. Chow has some martial arts training (due to his admiration of Bruce Lee) and he's really quite convincing in his fight scenes. It's also a nice coming-of-age movie, especially when we see how So Chan deals with his guilt and embarassment of having fallen to such low depths. My only problem with the movie is that the ending feels a little rushed. But it still ends conclusively and it's a great ride throughout. This was one of the biggest box office winners in HK when it came out in 1992. It was a very enjoyable film. B000009MRW412AE406KTTZ7L64AE406KTTZ7L64K. WhislerCHICAGO, IL USA142004-01-27

Worth the purchase price for the "sleeping disciple" scenes.

This is the only Stephen Chow (spelled Chiau on the box) film that I've ever seen, but I am determined to see more of them. Not only is he a physically talented comedic actor and convincing as a kung fu master, he is also quite pleasing to look at. The plot is silly, but it works well with the comic delivery. I particularly enjoyed the scenes where Chow's character uses "sleeping disciple" kung fu, in which he seemingly yawns and stretches while hitting his opponent in the face, etc. Well-done special effects, just this side of cheesy, show the sorcery and magical kung fu moves.Since Amazon hasn't given you a summary, here's mine: Young ne'er-do-well Su Chan (Chow) falls in love with a courtesan. In order to win her hand in marriage, he signs up for an imperial examination to become a military officer. For reasons partially attributable to Tin Li Jiao, an evil Taoist sorcerer and martial artist, and partially attributable to Su Chan's own laziness and his father's dishonesty, Su Chan winds up a beggar. He uses kung fu to rescue his ladylove and the Emperor when they fall into the clutches of Tin Li Jiao. The version I have (didn't buy it from Amazon, but looks like the same one) is in Cantonese and Mandarin with subtitles in traditional characters and English. The subtitle translations are just bad enough to be amusing, but not so bad as to be confusing. Because the English subtitles are plain white, they are hard to read against a light background. Fortunately, the plot of the film isn't so subtle that reading every subtitle is critical. I thought the film was entertaining and funny. Not a masterpiece, perhaps, but better than many action/comedy films out there. I'll definitely watch it again.B000009MRW43A2X2WQP3XQOT94A2X2WQP3XQOT94avatar_73Mn,USA142000-06-13
