To hok wai lung

The usual amusing Hong Kong martial arts/comedy from Stephen Chow. As with many of his other films (All for the Winner, God of Gamblers 2)- his "uncle tat" is also present. I don't find him that amusing, but I guess Stephen needs a straight man.

The usual amusing antics, fight scenes and physical comedy ensue.

One of the funniest moments I've seen in a film (and I don't usually like crass humor) was when Stephen is forced to chew the "gum" (actually a condom) and manages to blow a bubble! Don't miss the outtakes from this scene in the closing credits.

P.S. This seems to have been filmed during the Gulf War and I found it interesting that Stephen Chow would be wearing a Saddam Hussein tshirt in the film. Was this to express solidarity with Iraq against the (first) US invasion? Was this supposed to be an ironic comment the way some kids think it's funny to wear a Charles Manson shirt?

Stephen Chow gives slapstick a whole other meaning. Like many of his movies he provides a humor that is very visual and easy to understand. So very accessible for a large (international) audience. In "Fighting back to school" there are some jokes that require knowledge of the Cantonese language. But because these jokes are accompanied by some visual sketch you do get what it all is about. While "Fighting Back to School" is a pure comedy there is just enough action to keep those fans happy. It is well know fact that Stephen Chow is a huge fan of Bruce Lee. He also tries to show it in many of his movies. In "Fighting back..." there are some scenes which are a obvious tribute to the Master. I couldn't discover any direct parodies on certain movies. But it is my guess that "Fightin back..." is some sort of take on teen high school movies produced in Hollywood. But who cares ,it doesn't matter because Stephen Chow movies are fun. Just watch it!

This great Stephen Chow comedy is very entertaining and features his usual great chemistry with Ng Man Tat. The story is fun and the supporting cast does a great job. A usual, Cheung man is a great female lead for a Chow film. Gordon Chan + Stephen Chow is a great recipe and this film proves it. If you liked this you have to check out the even funnier sequel.

Star Chow is about to be kicked out of the Royal Hong Kong Police's elite Special Duties Unit (SDU). But a senior officer decides to give him one last chance: Star must go undercover as a student at the Edinburgh High School in Hong Kong to recover the senior officer's missing revolver.

Another Quality HK comedy starring Stephen Chow, who has to go back to school undercover as a student so he can find his senior officer's "kind" pistol - kind because he uses its nozzle to scratch his back - and ends up having a difficult time in school as he soon becomes known as an awful student, but as predicted he wins his fellow students over with his charm. The jokes are quite funny, Chow and Tat make a formidable comic team, and Man Cheung gets the temperatures soaring. There's some action, mainly in the beginning and the end. Chow is quite a nifty fighter. Things, however, can get tiring towards the end, but overall a very good comedy with a killer gag scene where Chow calls Tat for answers to his exam and the whole police team help him out.

Another wacky film by Stephen Chow, had a great time watching this.
