| User ReviewNaoya KA solid and enjoyable human drama from Tsui Hark. I can feel the atmosphere that directors, stuff, and actors are all having fun making this film. Leslie Cheung and Anita Yuen is another great combination made by Tsui Hark (following the combination of Nicky Wu and Charlie Yeung). Good to see other familiar faces in Hark's movies like Kenny Bee and Chiu Man-Cheuk. I love the optmistic, happy ending! Hark makes another film called "Tri-Star" right after this one with the Leslie Cheung and Anita Yuen combination. It is comical, heart-warming love story between a priest and a prostitute. You should check out this one too. "Tri-Star" (1996) - 3 Stars (of course) |
| User ReviewPantha RThis Tsui Hark gem itself is highly underwatched throughout the world... It's slapstick,it's illogical sometimes-but convoluted situational comedies seldom get better than this. It's no less tasty than the delicacies shown throughout the film.Filled with genial humour,this is a must watch for every movie buff. |
| User ReviewAdam LSort of like Iron Chef the movie, I can't think of a more ringing endorsement than that. |
| User ReviewAu Ki watch this movie at least more than 8 times ~ but still feel it was a good movie ~ funny |
| User Reviewmaclud mThe movie is maybe not really good and the actors arent always doing their best.. But its so lovely, and cool to watch em discuss and create recipes.. Just makes me hungry simply thinking about it.. so yep, i recommand this one to anyone who ve cooked at least once and like exotic food! |
| User ReviewGrégory SVery cool 1995 effort from Tsui Hark. Leslie Cheung delivers an awesome performance, and the so, so, SO hot Anita Yuen has bright red/green punk rock hair! This is a movie where the food is just as much of a character as the actors- if that makes any sense. The prep scenes are beautiful, and manages to convey in a competitive sense what, say, a kung fu fight would in a Sammo film or shoot out would in a John Woo film. This is one of those movies that was made for people who just adore movies in general, not fans of a specific niche or genre. Recommended to anyone who loves movies. |
| User ReviewAlexandre BEncore un film tres leger, qui se regarde facilement, mais qui n'a pas d'interet enorme, si ce n'est de decouvrir la cuisine de la patte d'ours. |
| User ReviewMattias EJust barely funny lunar new year comedy from Tsui Hark, with an off the wall-overacting Leslie Cheung and an annoying Anita Yuen pretending to be the Faye character from Chungking Express, only times ten. The story is all over the place, but once it finally settles on the food competition it's at least a bit entertaining. The top of the line production values makes the movie look extremely good, though, especially the food. Peter Pau makes that monkey brain look so tasty that even I would gladly have some. |
