The cast is very strong, putting Zeng Zhiwei, Li Liqun and Wang Gang together, but they are not coordinated. Similar to the symbolic "three fools", Zeng Zhiwei is a strange actor. He only shines in pure Hong Kong movies, such as "Sweet Honey", but Li Liqun's style is typed in the film as a "silly gangster". "Symbol, Wang Gang still plays the cunning and cunning He Kun well, in this movie there is really no part of his role and no details. Jay Chou is very good as a singer, but he is really lackluster as a movie actor. Maybe there is something wrong with the director and script he chose.

Farce has its rules, its skills. According to the etymology, the Latin Farcio means "I stuffed", which is to pretend to be stuffed in the play. The meaning of jokes and jokes. But what is "stuffed"? How to "stuck"? This is a very specialized skill, it requires long-term training and tireless speculation, and it cannot be "chased" out in three days and two nights stuff." "Slam Dunk" isn't a comedy, it's a farce. In comparison, Stephen Chow's style in recent years has made him gradually approach the direction of comedy master from farce.
