I have been laughing with Stephen Chow in his movies since the 1990’s.
People do not know that in each of his movies, there is a legendary or not real style featured.
There is a one called A flying god in the sky or Tian Wai Fei Xian. This style only existed in novels or did it? He acted as a imperial bodyguard number 8 or A Ba for short. It is the same sound as father in Chinese. He was no good in Kung Fu, but he got the book and studied it. He also put a character dressed like an Alien. So Tian Wai Fei Xian means ET?
The movies was called Da Ming Nei Tan or imperial spy from Ming.
Shaolin soccer is about Shaolin kicking, light step, iron head, iron clothes and Qin Na Shou etc. They used the skills against the steroid pumped team. The soccer is only a backdrop or a stage.
Kung Fu Hustle actually featured the Buddha Palm or Ru Lai Fo Zhang. This style is legendary or is it? The streets and gang stories are only a stage or backdrop. What he tried to tell is a story about the Buddha Palm. The legend said it a palm from the sky. The toad headbutt is called Tong Tian Din or push upward to the sky.
In the end of the movie, the high person disguised as a beggar showed the girl more boxing books of more styles. So the question is which style will be featured in his next movie.
So, I was walking through the park the other day at lunch and I come across this Taiji guy getting mugged. I would have stuck around to see how the fight turned out…but I only had an hour for lunch. (rimshot)
ru lai fo zhang is a famous hk martial art comic series from the 80s. The first 80+ issues were a re-write of Jin yong’s “Yi tian tu long ji”, it substituted “jiu yang shen gong” with “ru lai shen zhang”. then, the author ad lib for the next 400 some more issues.
A buddhist monk walks up to a hotdog stand and says: “make me one with everything”.
part II—
Monk pays the vendor with a twenty dollar bill and gets his hotdog. after eating it, he says to the vendor: “Hey I gave you a twenty, where’s my change?”
no…no you didn’t, and I didn’t claim original either. I heard this joke ages ago, i have no idea where it came from. BUt it is one of the only sort of , kind of kungfu jokes i can think of, besides the “telling your parents you are gay” one above, but that was already taken. It is also funny. heh heh
