	Stephen Chow (Steven Chow) biography
		In 1990, Chow scored his first major box office hit with All for the Winner, which was a parody of the previous year's box office champ, Wong Jing's God of Gamblers.
		Chow continued to spoof other popular movies, such as Swordsman with Royal Tramp, and also did somewhat more serious fare with movies based on folk tales and heroes, as with Flirting Scholar and King of Beggars.
		Stephen Chow is now in the envious position in the Hong Kong movie industry of only having to do one or two movies a year in order to keep in a public's eye (many stars appear in as many as a dozen films a year).

	Steven Chow
		Known for his comedic abilities, Steven Chow is one of the most versatile and funniest men on the planet.
		Often referred to as the "Jim Carrey of the east," Steven Chow started his career on TVB in the early eighties as one of the hosts on a kid's show (literally: 430 Space Shuttle).
		He didn't really gain success until his work with Francis Ng and Ng Man Tat on "Modern Heroes." He is currently in talks with 20th Century Fox to direct a remake of "God of Cookery," starring Jim Carrey.

		The Chow as it is known today is easily recognizable in pottery and sculptures of the Chinese Han Dynasty (206 BC to 22 AD); other artifacts indicate that he was even a much older breed and may have come originally from the Arctic Circle, migrating to Mongolia, Siberia and China.
		Chows should not be put on a chain for they resent the feeling of being _trapped_.
		Chow Chows are typically between 17 and 20 inches at the shoulders and usually weigh between 40 and 70 pounds.

	Fist of Fury 1991
		This early Stephen Chow vehicle came out only a year after his first major comedic success (All for the Winner) and it seems to show a less sure hand than he was to display in his future films.
		Chow gives chase and the two of them indulge in a terrifically amusing bullet ballet - except instead of bullets they are launching gobs of spit at one another.
		Chow thinks this is a little odd, but goes through with it - and unbeknown to him the note reads "I want to steal your virginity".

	One Woman's Writing Retreat: Film Review
		Chow, known as the "Jim Carrey of Asia" is regarded as the founder of a Hong-Kong style comedy genre known as "mo lei tau," or "nonsense comedy." And Shaolin Soccer is just that, but the results are mixed.
		Chow himself does have a charm and has a slight resemblance to Bruce Lee that can draw you in and hold you, especially when coupled with the enthusiasm he exerts and his physicality that's virtually non-stop.
		But by and large, Chow has crafted a comedy that should be applauded at least for its desire to entertain and not be considered anything more than 87 minutes of diversion that has a slight endearment for its intentions and for wanting its audience to leave smiling at the end of it all.

		Chow's performance is superb as a chinese government spy who was chosen for a dangerous mission despite, -er, because of his inadequacies.
		Chow typically plays a bumbling mainlander with one exceptional skill, and this rule applies in this movie as well.
		Many fans feel this is Chow's finest work to date, evenly mixing dead-on 007 spoofs along with the actor's trademark brand of uproarious, Cantonese humor.

	Medium Rare - Kung Fu Hustle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Steven Chow is back, bigger than ever, with his American break-out/follow-up to his international hit, "Shaolin Soccer." Those familiar with the later have been, no doubt, salivating in anticipation of his first American-backed film, courtesy of Sony Pictures Classics.
		Even though Chow is the headliner here-writer, director, co-producer-his screen time is notably less than in "Shaolin Soccer," which was a huge hit overseas.
		Chow recently paid tribute to Lee at the Hong Kong Film Awards, where Chow himself won best film honors for "Kung Fu Hustle".

		Chow stated in the documentary that 50% of the film's budget went into the special effects.

		Chow is Sing, a young kung fu master who wants to bring Shaolin kung fu in the mainstream.

		Chow's comedic timing gets better and better with every movie he makes, and while his films are depending more and more on CGI these days, and makes this movie much more a fantasy kung fu film than a traditional one, it hardly detracts from the enjoyable experience.
		Only from Steven Chow do we get a martial arts / comedy with references to Shaw Brother films from the 70s, Bruce Lee, Ray Harryhausen, Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner, Matrix Reloaded and Spider-Man. The film is Kung Fu Hustle which had its world premiere at the 29th Toronto International Film Festival.
		If you love Steven Chow films then Kung Fu Hustle will have you grinning well after the final credits scroll past the screen.

	Kung-Fu Hustle, reviewed (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		In many ways, the films of Steven Chow are to the modern martial arts film what the films of Mel Brooks were to classic Hollywood genres.
		Chow has fully embraced the digital revolution and he goes far beyond the simple use of wire-fu, creating a world where martial artists are super heroes freed from the constraits of physics.
		Chow has an innate knowledge of the Hong Kong film industry and he knows how to make fun of it.

	Movie Review - God of Cookery - Hollywood Bitchslap
		Slicing and dicing like a bipedal cuisinart, Steven Chow brings his brand of martial arts humor to THE GOD OF COOKERY, where he plays a wealthy master chef who falls from grace, and must learn the secret of the Shaolin culinary arts in order to best his nemesis and return to fame and fortune.
		But when Chow narrowly escapes, only to stumble across the front gate of a Shaolin temple, he discovers the Shaolin art of cookery just in time to make his big comeback in an upcoming competition against Bull Tong.
		With SHAOLIN SOCCER already garnering cult status in the West, Stephen Chow is definitely one to watch in Hong Kong cinema, and Western audiences will finally be able to "discover" what Chinese viewers have known for years; that Chow is a pretty damn funny guy.

		Chow not only directs, writes, and performs, but he also does whatever it takes to entertain us.
		In between the chaos, Chow cleverly sneaks in a few flashbacks for a romantic story, and some quiet moments from the beautiful Huang Sheng Yi.
		I also enjoyed this movie, I thought it was very hard for Steven Chow to impress me again after “Shaolin Soccer”;, but I was wrong.

	Equivocality: (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		It's a pretty good combination of action and humour, and doesn't follow the same formula as other of Steven Chow's movies (although that's hardly a bad thing).
		Every Steven Chow movie I own has at least one relationship developing between him and some female deuteragonist, sometimes in more complicated triangles with other cute female co-stars.
		Aaron agreed that Chiu Mei looked good bald (or "blad", as per the classically terrible subtitles), which was surprizing considering the fact that he doesn't generally like bald girls and I prefer girls with at least a few milimeters of hair.

		Part of the reason is due to Chow's knack (both as an actor and with his directorial eye) for physical comedy.
		Chow also uses a number of quality special effects to help push the laughs in the film.
		Chow is also well versed in the language of popular culture, both Eastern and Western.

		Journey to the West was a fairly whimsical tale in its own right, and when told through Steven Chow's perspective, it is downright confusing.
		Steven Chow is, in some ways, similar to Jim Carrey, except that he can deadpan much better than Carrey.
		Steven Chow's Monkey King is not the heroic, daring fighter we have come to expect, instead, he is meek, indecisive, and selfish.

	Pop Thought -- Robert J. Sodaro
		More than just Jackie Chan-style punch-pratfall-and-laughs, this style of film is known for its side-splitting plots and slapstick antics which have rightly earned Chow legions of fans across Asia and the U.S. Sing (Chow), and his companion (Chi Chung Lam) attempt to shake down the residents of Pig Sty ally.
		Set in Canton, China in the 1940s, the story revolves around a hapless wannabe gangster named Sing (Chow) and his sidekick (Chi Chung Lam) who aspire to become members of the notorious Axe Gang that rule the province and control the cops.
		The film is a mix of classic martial arts mayhem and Matrix -style CGI SPFX as the fighters all exhibit comic book proportioned suprahuman abilities as they duke it out for supremacy in the area.

		Steven Chow (whose Shaolin Soccer hit never opened in Canada) is arguably Asiaâs biggest movie star, and on the strength of Kung Fu Hustle, itâs both easy to see why and thenâ”after a pause for breathâ”also to wonder what all the fuss is about.
		And you are also given a hero, played by Chow himself, whoâs not exactly the most unforgettable high flyer.
		I know Chow must have come close to breaking his own neck a few times, particularly in a climactic fight scene that finds him thrown so high into the sky that he actually gets to glimpse the Buddhaâs face.
