Chiu kap hok hau ba wong

This Hong Kong version of the game "Street Fighter II" was way better than the Van Damme film of 1994. The characters actually emulate their signature moves in this action-comedy. I couldn't help but root for the heroes while laughing my head off. The only actor to look exactly like his character was Aaron Kwok as Ryu. The little music video with Jacky Cheung (Guile) is hysterical. If you see this film, get ready for a cameo from Dragon Ball Z's Goku!!!! It is awesome and if you're an anime fan, you gotta see it!!!!

A great outing from Hong Kong's crazy director, Wong Jing. A roman-a-clef version of Street Fighter II, this film features some of Hong Kong's biggest stars (Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, Simon Lam). Upon first viewing you may find that your brain is short circuiting due to the bizarreness, but once you finish, you have to go back for more. Every turn in this film leads to another sight gag, from Broom Man's hair, big lips, edible furniture, age reducing syringes, live action Super Mario Brothers, and Dragonball's Son Goku. Not really close to the story of Street Fighter II, most of the characters are here (all except Balrog and Zangief, and the 4 characters added later, although there are 2 Chun Lis in the end). All and all, a classic Hong Kong comedy, others may not think the same, but I can't imagine watching it without laughing insanely.

This movie wasn't as bad as people say it was. I've never heard of "Street Fighters" so I didn't really care that it was parodying it. I guess it's the sort of movie you wouldn't pay more than $5.00 for, but it would make the perfect party movie. The humour isn't smart, but it isn't so stupid that you cringe. It's actually pretty funny. Andy Lau was adorable, Jacky Cheung was cute, and just the whole atmosphere of the film let you relieve yourself of any seriousness. I mean, you could just see that those in the movie were acting with such an inane silliness, and so you can't help losing yourself in the zaniness of the film. Totally not Oscar-worthy in any sense, but nice fluff to get your mind off work and just have fun! Andy and Jacky are great and the cast has a floating charm, so go watch it with friends.

In the future, year 2043, Bison is convicted and comes up with a plan to free himself. He sends his henchmen, Ken, Honda and Sagat, back in time to 1993 to find and destroy the judge who sentenced him when he was still vulnerable. It turns out that at this time he was still in high school. Cops from the future are also sent back in time to find him first and protect him. Throughout most of the story they are looking for him in the past, and trying to blend in with society of the time. This has to be one of the funniest movies i've seen in a very long time. If you are not in the mood for silly comedy, wait until you are to watch this. Street Fighter fans especially will have fun watching how silly the characters in this movie are. It's very similar to anime in it's humor stylings, making for a completely unrealistic, but comedic world. I would completely recommend this as a party movie among friends when you want a lot of laughs.

When I sat down to watch "Chiu kap hok hau ba wong" (aka "Future Cops") here in 2021, for the very first time, I must admit that I wasn't really expecting the movie to be as enjoyable and funny as it turned out to be. I had read the synopsis, but hadn't paid attention to whom was on the cast list.

And I must admit that writer and director Jing Wong definitely did a marvelous job with "Future Cops", because this movie was every bit as unique as it was enjoyable. In fact, I think that "Future Cops" is so over the top goofy and silly that some viewers might actually dislike the movie. I, however, enjoyed this particular style of silly movie.

The storyline is pretty straight forward and simplistic. A group of law enforcers and criminals travel back in time and cause havoc at a high school.

Aside from having an enjoyable storyline that was made all the more entertaining by the sheer amount of funny situations, character and dialogue, then "Future Cops" had an amazing ensemble of casted actors and actresses. If you are familiar with the Hong Kong cinema, then you will find yourself in for quite a treat.

"Future Cops" has the likes of Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung, Aaron Kwok, Chingmy Yau, Ekin Cheng, Simon Yam. Richard Ng and Ken Lo on the cast list. So yeah, this is definitely an all-star ensemble.

I particularly enjoyed how "Future Cops" was a parody on things like "Street Fighter", "Tekken", "Dragonball Z" and "Doreamon". It was just all together a silly mixture that made for hilarious entertainment.

This was definitely a blast to sit down and watch, and I was more than genuinely entertained by Jing Wong's 1993 action comedy. My rating of "Future Cops" lands on a six out of ten stars.
