I wasn’t sure what to think…
If you ask me to describe this movie in one word, I would go with ‘Weird’.

This is one of those weird movies with a shallow-looking surface that contains more beneath its exterior; almost like the iceberg effect, just not as intricate.

The interesting thing about this movie is that even though I had watched its trailer beforehand, I still wasn’t sure what to expect. So, as the plot unraveled itself, I was taken by surprise multiple times.

If you are into slapstick comedy along with some dark humour and a bit of action, this movie is for you. I also liked this movie’s unusual style. I should also give credit to its beautiful cinematic effects and vivid colors. Hope you also enjoy it!

Substance beneath the Odd
Uhm, what? Was my first thought as I reached the half way point in this movie. It’s weird, but a good kind of weird. The one that has a moral to it, if you’re willing to see it. The gist is there’s a railroad coming through a small village that can only be reached by a one man rope bridge (No way I’d ever use it in a million years) Or by a rope you literally hang from to get from one side to the other. The townsfolk are convinced by their leader that building a train station will bring them unbelievable riches. The problem is, they don’t have the money in the coffers to build it. No one wants to spend their own money to help build it, but most of them want the money the train station is promised to bring.

Eric Tsang is a power hungry elitist who wants to one day be Emperor. He has a plot that involves blowing up a few people. No biggie, if you get the right person to do the job. Eric doesn’t. He gets a dense man called Big Pie to do it. Big Pie, accidentally dies before he can carry out his assignment. So, Eric has to restart the plot using a Gang Leader who is disguised as a Postal Carrier. Yup, best way to get from one assignment to another is to deliver the mail. She is given the same gear Big Pie had and a bicycle to carry out her assignment.

Into the mix comes a faux Monk, who arrives in the small town as the villagers are trying to figure out who killed Big Pie (it’s later revealed it was an accident brought about by a chicken carrying a bag of deadly herbs). The Monk has a device called the Worry Ridder that will reveal the killer. It’s basically a hat with a lot of doodads on it that literally sucks the worries from your mind and transforms them into what looks like a silk worm cocoon.

The brainwashed villagers split their days between digging for a treasure the Monk is sure is hidden there and praising the lying Monk. Some villagers began to recall their true selves after Autumn begins viewing the cocoons by inserting them in the Worry Ridder. Further issues for the Monk arise with the return of Autumn’s betrothed Dean, who was supposed to be off in the city working with the Government but is actually with the Cloud Clan gang – a group of singing postal workers.

There is too much weirdness to mention in this review. Suffice it to say, you have to watch this movie from beginning to end to appreciate it. People rediscover themselves and get a new leash on life. Especially Wan, a Kung Fu Expert who is afraid to use his skills, at least until the end when he kicks some serious Cloud Clan tush and gives Eric his comeuppance.

The acapella singing as the credits roll, is a bit annoying but good. Like I said, you have to view this movie to appreciate it’s moral telling weirdness.
