It's safe to say that I've seen quite a few Stephen Chow movies. Since I love his movies so much, I had to make a list, but I couldn't simple choose only 10 of his films to endorse, so I made a Top 20. I found this list hard to make without repeating myself and you can probably see why.
- Shaolin Soccer (少林足球) 2001. Kicking off this list (pun intended) is the household name of Shaolin Soccer. The sports comedy is widely regarded as one of the most successful Hong Kong films of all time, having propelled the Hong Kong comedy-flick industry to international fame.
- Tricky Brains (整蠱專家) 1991. This comedic flick directed by Wong Jing is a riotous ride. We imagine this must be what it’s like journeying into the mind of a mischievous 10-year-old boy, because some of the trickery, pranks, and puns pulled off in Tricky Brains is exactly what makes a young lad roll around with laughter.
- Fight Back to School (逃學威龍) 1991. Whether you are a boomer, a millennial, or a Gen X member, this 90s classic ‘mo lei tau’ (nonsensical) comedy is definitely one that we’ve all seen.
- Kung Fu Hustle (功夫) 2004. With all its hidden wires, trick camera angles, trampolines, and special effects, Kung Fu Hustle is easily the most technically impressive film on the list.
