YesAsia Editorial Description
An amusing title directed by Johnnie To and featuring comedy star Stephen Chow is now digitally remastered! New version coming with trailers, photo gallery, behind-the-scene features, plus more!
Johnnie To and Stephen Chow collaborated for the first time in 1992 in Justice, My Foot! which turned out to be a box-office hit. Next year in 1993 they made The Mad Monk based on a Chinese legendary who helps the poor and upholds justice by fighting against the corrupted officials. Stephen Chow successfully turns this figure into a hilarious character to amuse his audience! Co-starring many times award-winning actor Anthony Wong Chau Sang, talented beauty Maggie Cheung Man Yuk, and Stephen Chow's long collaborator Richard Ng Man Tat, The Mad Monk will surely delight all fans of Chinese comedy!
A petty and arrogant god Dragon Fighter Lo Han (Stephen Chow) receives an order to change the lives of three bad people on earth. He therefore reincarnates as a Monk and starts working on a trio of, unfortunately for him but to viewers' delight, a beggar (Anthony Wong), a prostitute (Maggie Cheung), and a killer ...

伏虎羅漢與掌管凡間際遇之神發生齟齬，驚動了仙班「上司」作調停，伏虎指責際遇之神弄權，罔顧人間疾苦，幸得觀世音支持，眾仙最後達成協議，讓際遇與伏虎作一打賭，若伏虎能在指定時限內令三個凡人為他作自我犧牲，便是伏虎得勝，否則便再墮涅槃。於是他投胎為濟公和尚一面遊戲人間，一面普渡眾生，另伺機接近目標人物：九世乞丐、妓女及大盜，到底他如何去感化三人呢？

It's madness, alright!
It's madness, alright!

While it appears that Wong Jing had nothing to do with Johnny To's "The Mad Monk", this has the feel of a Wong Jing comedy: The movie's story is the barest of threads and stuff just happens. Indeed, the story basically serves as little more than an excuse to string together a series of gags of varying degrees of funniness. Stephen Chow is his usual fast-talking comic self; this time he plays a ne'er-do-well god sent to earth to set some things straight. Ng Man Tat, usually a reliable comic foil for Chow's antics, here spends far too much of the movie acting infantile and howling for milk. Maggie Cheung Man Yuk, playing a prostitute who really seems to enjoy her work, is the real reason to watch this film. She has never looked more gorgeous (well, okay, maybe in "In the Mood for Love") and has never given a funnier performance. The first hour or so of the film are amusing if chaotic. Thereafter, for me, the jokes wore thin and the film's loud antics grew tiresome. Still, all Stephen Chow fans and Maggie Cheung fans should see "The Mad Monk". By the way, this film is not a remake of the 1977 Li Han Hsiang movie with the same title; the two films have nothing whatsoever to do with each other. |
