CGiii Comment

The [original] packaging and title are awful...just goes to show: Never judge a book...by neither the cover nor the title!

This stunningly choreographed, beautifully realised work of art should have film-makers on their knees screaming how unworthy they all are - look at the camera work, it is astounding.

Chow, expertly, pokes fun at western fashion, at American kung fu, at cartoons, at every Hollywood film - be it the superhero or gangster genres or the glut of Stiller, Sandler dismally-immature-comedies.

Even Tarantino pales, he is a poor man's Chow - his inventiveness, imagination and eye for detail are all simply without peerage.

Chow wrote, directed and starred ' NO EGO ' just an unmatched sublime talent and a sense of camp that would put a shrieking queen into an early but fabulously decorated grave.

A genuine masterpiece.

Hollywood is in trouble.

Without a doubt, China is the place for computer-generated imagery.
