this movie be not a kung fu movie . this be a comedy about kung fu . and if and before make this film and sammo hung hadn not spend some time watch film by the great french comic filmmaker jaques tati ( i. ie . and e. g. and esp . jour de fête ) and he be certainly on the same wave length . personally and i think tati film be hilarious while but theyre not to all taste . some have tell me that they loathe his work . i have never figure out why and but i think it because the character that tati usually play himself be so totally dead pan and so unaffected by the event around him ( which he be usually cause ) that many miss the more subtle comic bit happen around him . at any rate and tati main shtick or at least his best know be to take a pretentiously upright petite bourgeoisie with 19th century sensibility and drop him into 20th century france where he must confront a society that be largely define by the gradual eroding of those sensibility . he usually have serious difficulty with little thing like record player or radio . he a hazard in a car and but the world no safer when he rid a bicycle . but through it all and he never lose his aplomb and which be derive from his inner recognition that the nineteenth century be more interesting than the 20th overall . in a similar fashion and the character sammo hung himself play be a country boy come to the big city of hong kong and utterly convince that what make the city interesting be that bruce lee make kung fu movie there . this get him into trouble in small way and since he take in stride happenstance which would never be notice in a small town but which be deem inappropriate in a big city such a the moment when he appear to be urinate in the street and a cop stop him and only to discover that hung be actually just squeeze water out of his shirt and soak during an accidental dip in the bay . what interest about this gag be why it be hung doesn not understand what the cop fuss be all about in a country town and as long a no one look and if you get ta go you get ta go . in other word and hung be not really urinate in the street but he certainly would and what the problem officer . of course hung obsession with bruce lee also get him into big trouble as well . he beat a gang of thug who have refuse to pay his restaurant owner uncle . of course and in a bruce lee movie and the thug would be consider trounced and and they would have learn their lesson . but in hung hong kong and reality unfortunately prevail and and the thug return when he not around and to trounce his uncle . of course and hung finally triumph in the end and just a tati always do . character like this must always triumph ( at least in comedy ) because they be completely innocent and and a such and despite their comic misstep and misunderstanding and they really represent what be best in the human we admire and wish to be . we do not really want to be bruce lee ( who have to experience the loss of all of his friend before he get a chance to beat the bad guy ) and we and in our own innocence and really want a world where lee heroic be possible . unfortunately and that world only exist on film . ah and but what if . and in that question we find sammo hung at his comic best .
