King of Beggars




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.

Sharla Cheung is beautiful as always. She is retired from the movie business now and I hope she is doing well in life.

CJ7






Hot Asian dadday, Stephen Chow, follows up his masterpiece Kung Fu Hustle with CJ7. I am sad to say the this drama will disappoint most people. Chow is pretty subdued here and there is not much to laugh about or get excited about in this film. It's not a very commercial film.

Note: I saw the English dubbed version on cable.
