DVD Reviews of Eagle Shooting Heroes
DVD Review: Perhaps the wackiest Hong Kong comedy of all time
Summary: 5 Stars
Right on the heels of the oh-so-serious Ashes of Time, virtually the entire cast appeared in this wacky Chinese New Year's comedy. Basically, it is a spoof of the same swordplay source material that inspired Ashes of Time, but with unbridled laughter, not deep philosophical contemplation, as the aim. Some of Hong Kong's best A-List actors from the early 90s are on hand and everything in this movie is aimed at extracting maximum laughs. Typical of these types of comedies, there is silliness galore--cross-dressing, thwarted romance, comic fight scenes, preposterous plot twists and just the right amount of overacting and scenery chewing to keep the laughs coming (and plenty of inside jokes and plays on words that would have Hong Kong audiences rolling in the aisles). Oh, and did I mention over-the-top musical numbers? The sets are clearly cardboard and threaten to collapse at the slightest touch. The special effects are hardly special, the costumes are all slightly tacky and the plot, such as it is, is convoluted and slightly chaotic. But there is fun to be had in every scene--if Hong Kong wacky New Year's comedies are your cup of tea. If you are a fan of pre-Shaolin Soccer Stephen Chow, this movie will be a delight. But be forewarned, if you aren't a fan of that type of HK comedy, you may just be scratching your head and wondering why I thought this was such a great movie. For non-Chinese audiences, HK comedies either tickle your funny bone, or they don't. If they do, this one is an absolute gem.
