Justice, My Foot!
Stephen Chow’s special brand of very modern, very Hong Kong screwball comedy entered a new phase with "Justice, My Foot!", a costume farce set in imperial China. Chow is a shyster with an equally eccentric kung-fu ace of a wife, hilariously played by Anita Mui Yim-fong. Accompanied by Chow’s number one screen sidekick, Ng Man-tat, he manages to bring justice to the court and laughter to the viewer. A resounding success, "Justice, My Foot!" broke box office records to become the number hit of 1992. And it’s no wonder, what with skillful direction by Johnnie To and a visual sheen provided by Peter Pao, who a few years later would become the first Chinese to win a Best Cinematography Oscar for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

The Mad Monk
One of Hong Kong’s top directors reunited with its biggest comedy star after several previous hits (Royal Scoundrel, Justice, My Foot) – only this time their subject was the gods themselves. Internationally proclaimed comic genius Stephen Chow plays petty, arrogant god Dragon Fighter Lo Han, who is changed into “Monk Chai” and ordered to alter the fates of three bad people on Earth, lest he be retransmigationized. Unfortunately for him (but to any viewer’s delight), the trio he finds are a prostitute (played by the radiant, remarkably talented Maggie Cheung Man-yuk), a beggar (played by award-winning actor Anthony Wong), and a cold-blooded killer. Chow and To wring honest pathos and many laughs from this wonderful scenario, ably supported by the star’s welcome sidekick Ng Man-tat and vaunted action director Ching Siu-tung (the director of A Chinese Ghost Story and the producer of The Heroic Trio).

The Bare-Footed Kid
Cantopop king Aaron Kwok shows that he can kick and chop with the best of them. As "The Bare-Footed Kid", he’s an innocent country bumpkin/martial arts whiz in the Ching Dynasty who proves more than equal to the city slickers whose path he crosses. Ably assisted by director Johnnie To and with martial arts choreography by the legendary Liu Chia-liang, Aaron Kwok – generally acknowledged to be the best dancer among the pop idols – proves that he’s equally graceful at kung-fu. The ladies in the bare-footed kid’s life are impressive as well, with Maggie Cheung Man-yuk an introspective widow and Jacklyn Wu a rambunctious rich girl. Most imposing is Ti Lung, playing a mysterious fugitive, showing that he still possesses the screen presence that first brought him to kung-fu superstardom over twenty years earlier.
