An incredible Chinese comedy, and commentary.
God of Cookery is a hilarious parody of a number of other great HK films (the gambler series, early Jackie Chan, and “Chinese Feast” style cuisine dramas), though I didn’t know that when I first saw it… it’s how I got into the genre. Because it’s satire is so over the top though, you also start to get a feel for the huge differences in film tabus between western and eastern cinema. Production values are amazingly high, and although they “fixed” a couple of hilarious subtitles in the DVD version, at least you can read them in most scenes. The self referential jokes about english translation and subtitles are still there.The best of Kung Food!
Good laughs for any civilized culture!
I’m now a proud owner of this hilarious and original film. Full of comedy ranging from the physical silliness of the Three Stooges, to the absurd concept-driven comedy of Monty Python. Another great thing is you get to see Asian cinema making fun of common cliche`s of Asian cinema and animation. There is also a lot of fun references and similarities to the storytelling and cinematography of the Coen Brothers. I can see some ideas may have been borrowed from The Hudsucker Proxy, from 2 years before it. Very enjoyable for those who can read subtitles.
