Stephen Chows - The Tricky Master

[Jimmyboy]

Having seen Shaolin Soccer & loving it, Im after some more Chow.
Is Tricky Master2000 a good title to go for ?.
Its a Universe R3 dvd so if anyone can comment on the quality of the dvd as well plz.;)

This film is a massive pile of poo, it must be one of his poorest films and Stephen Chow doesnt feature much in it.

I am a huge Stephen Chow fan but this is one DVD I dont own.

AVOID!

:mad:

Thanks for the warning.
Can you reconmend some decent Chow movies then ?.

Universe DVDs are one of the better quality DVDs in R3. For the price which tends to range from £3 to £11 they are good value.

They are not in the league of Shaolin Soccer though. As they are usually letterboxed and DD5.1 only.

I have just bougt Full time Killer and this is another good quality DVD next generation R3 disc DTS cool menus etc.

Try to avoid the older 'Mei ah' discs they are cheap but also utter @@@@e with burnt in subs and poor quality transfers. I own a few but only because the films arent available on other labels.

Wow quick reply! ;)

My personal favourites are

From Beijing With Love
God Of Cookery
King Of Beggars
Love On Delivery

As for recommendations......I would say the first 2 maybe the 3rd are worth a try if you really liked SS, they are similar films with emphasis on action.

The latter 2 the humour is more chinese based and I dont think would translate well.

Have a look at Cirrus review in the movie review forum and look at the original shaolin soccer thread. There are recommendations there from others dunno if this will work (http://www.thedvdforums.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=19343)
