Most of the women in Xing Ye's films are women with independent personalities and thinking abilities. That's how they thought ten years ago. Think about how backward we should be now.

Now watching this movie, I don't know why it feels a little ironic. Now there are some programs that promote Shaolin martial arts, 18 bronze figurines, etc. They dance with guns and sticks on the stage, but why not directly participate in various competitions? That propaganda effect is much better than TV. Maybe the rules don't allow it, or something else I don't understand, or maybe I understand the movie too much.

    I rewatched it at noon on October 31, 2018. I originally planned to watch it for a while and then turn it off after eating; I couldn't stop it. This is the case with several of Stephen Chow's films before :)

    The singing and dancing in front of Zhao Wei's noodle stall was wonderful. The Cantonese version is especially good.
