      Hilarious stephen chow ghost movie.

      Stephen Chow plays an "insane" person who is not afraid of anything. He also appears to be parodying Leon (the professional). Carrying his trusty plant and bag of cling wrap and chocolates he helps a young girl to rid her building of a couple mean ghosts.

      This is a must see for any Stephen Chow fan, and at least a renter for any fan of chinese comedy. This ranks up there with Shaolin Soccer and God Of Cookery on my list.

      This story is in the dark.

      A Hong Kong horror-comedy about a partially mentally-impaired professional wannabe (Stephen Chow) who attempts to help an apartment building rid itself of evil ghosts. He trains a bunch of clueless security guards in warding off the ghosts, providing them with off-the-chart techniques.

      What started out as a pretty intriguing horror flick quickly loses steam afterward. This movie is basically forced comedy with poor slapstick humor and childish tactics that rendered the cast extremely irritating. The acting was awful and the story was riddled with sloppy editing.

      Some Hong Kong filmmakers are sometimes notorious for winging its movies - filming them in an impromptu manner with limited editing, no post-production and little preparation. The crew clearly didn't want to take this film seriously - they just had fun with it, suspending their imagination and creativity, but failing to provide us with an impressive product. Some of these filming techniques is called nonsensical comedies - you either love them or hate them. When I watch a comedy, I hope to get humor that just flow naturally, not over-the-board slapstick gags and goofy puns.

      Stephen Chow is known for his slapstick comedies and I equate him to the likes of Jim Carrey. However, this movie is one of Chow's worst pictures and I recommend that people stay way from this film!

      Grade F

      For fans of nonsensical and absurd humour.

      Truly, one of Chow's best efforts to date. The first twenty minutes or so is pretty uneventful save for a few scenes with the now well-known crew, but the moment Leon (Stephen Chow) enters the stage hilarity ensues. His appearance (black round glasses, a plant by his side etc) as well as his name is an obvious parody of Leon the Professional, especially if you add the silly outfit Kwan (Karen Mok) sports later on, deliberately reminiscent of Natalie Portman's garment in the said cult movie. Make no mistake, this is a ghost movie, the kind only Stephen Chow could make. Wui wan yeh is a must for any fan of Chow's and beyond.

      About the end of the film.

      About the end of the movie, there are some things, ah, what, what, come up, come up, who can't come up. What is it? Take the scrubbing knife quickly. What is the previous one? Now is the time to make up the number of words 123, that is to say, there are always one or two people in the legend.

Now is the time to make up the number of words 123, that is to say, there are always one or two people in the legend. That is to say, the legend always. Anyway, I won't do it. If I don't do it, I will come up quickly. If I don't get it, I won't get it before.

      stephen chow goes horror comedy

      i believe firmly in the fact that if one is to enjoy a stephen chow movie one has to suspend ones belief in what is real. this movie is weird, with no real sense of direction, but it does have stephen chow in the garb that jean reno wears in the movie " leon, the professional ", including the shades. oh, his name in the movie is also Leon.

      this movie is a first for stephen chow cause it also has elements of horror and Chinese superstitions about ghosts and the afterlife abundantly mixed in.

      i don't really know what to say about this movie except that its weird, but it does have its funny moments though. as a matter of fact, the comedic moments are scattered thru-out the film.

      it is definitely not one of his best, but i still enjoyed it. if your watching for the first time some of the stuff is pretty creepy too. its just a weird mix of comedy horror that is totally different then the ones made in the west.

      what one has to do before watching the movie is to put the belief in normalcy aside and just try to enjoy it. there are some really funny moments in this movie but it doesn't know if its a horror or a comedy movie, but the actors look like they are having fun doing it and that is very important for me.
