Stephen Chow's source of inspiration

I originally thought that "Flying All Over the Sky" was a reasoning film or something, but I didn't expect it to be a comedy film made in the early 1980s in the United States. And there are a lot of shadows in the movie of the star, or more correctly, the shadow of this film in the movie of the star. For example, the male protagonist Ted told the passenger sitting next to him on the plane about his love history. The people next to him couldn’t bear his endless talk. The three of them set themselves on fire...especially the first one to hang himself. The man who hanged himself from the bull demon king who couldn't stand Tang Seng's Rosso in "Journey to the West" was exactly the same as this one. In addition, the captain hit the people who asked him to donate money all the way into the airport. This situation has appeared many times in Star Master's movies. This film is an irony of many disaster films made in the United States in the 1970s, a bit like Scary Movie's irony of horror films. This also made it attract many audiences who were tired of a serious disaster film, and thus became the No. 5 box office movie in North America in 1980.
