 | | Chow is all to willing to use any comic device in his large arsenal — and he relentlessly peppers his films with a non-stop barrage of parodies, puns, slapstick, sight gags, songs, verbal banter, insults, sarcasm, irony, sexual innuendoes, toilet humor and anything else that comes to mind. |
 | | Like Keaton, Chow often maintains a completely straight face in the midst of total anarchy, portrays an innocent or a country bumpkin who is taken advantage of by others, is the underdog who somehow manages to succeed through luck or unexpected skills and yearns for the seemingly unobtainable female object of his desire. |
 | | Chow does break out of this mold of course from time to time — though if he starts out on top it is just a matter of time before he is humbled and made more human. |
