sweet!

Thanks for the heads up on this. Just ordered!

Stooooopid question:

Will this play on my PS3?

Thanks!

I've only read hideous reviews of this - is it really THAT bad.

Yes it is a stupid question. :p

Hong Kong has the same region code as the US - region A. Thats if its even region locked to begin with.

Thanks!

Where did you read those reviews?! I've heard (friends) nothing but good things about this movie, I highly doubt a Stephen Chow movie is going to be horrible (if you have an open mind that is). I would go as far as saying this is probably the E.T. of china :D:p

This film is so lowly rated in most of the HK and US reviews.

If you can read Cantonese, check out those HK-based message forums, most HKers seemed to hate this movie.

Saw the preview, and knew it was going to blow.

I ordered it. :)

I hope its not that bad! I have enjoyed all his previous releases.....

I love stephen chows movies... all of them, I was wondering about this last one. looked.. funny to me. we'll see.

Wow, that was fast release.

Sweet!! just ordered it as well!

Hmmm. I ordered from yes asia and it shows march release and the other site is april (1 month difference). Wonder which is correct.

It got terrible reviews, I think because most expected there to be some sort of kung-fu in it, and there was none. Otherwise it was reviewed as a standard-fare "ET Clone".

I think I'll wait for a domestic release on this one.

Yeah, there is very little kung fu in it. Stephen Chow said recently in an interview that he grew up watching kung fu and science fiction movies, and that CJ7 was an exploration of the latter. It's still got his style of humor and comedy though. If you liked the humor in Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle, go into CJ7 not expecting any kung fu and you may find you like it more.

I've liked most of the Stephen Chow's movies but saw the trailer for CJ7 last weekend and it just didn't make it for me. If it's release here, in the USA, I'd rent it and then make my mind.

I love Stephen Chow, all the way from his early nineties stuff like Royal Tramp through From Beijing with Love and God of Cookery and up to Shaolin Soccer and KF Hustle. I knew going in what kind of film this was. And I still was horribly disappointed. Painfully derivative, not that funny, and frankly kind of sadistic.

He's overrated. Always has been. KUNG FU HUSTLE was the first film of his that really worked for me. Mostly he leaves me cold. I have friends in Hong Kong and they hated this film.

Can check it out at DDDhouse (cheaper than yesasia and sensasian)

Its not enywhere near as good as "Kung Fu Hustle" or "Shaolin Soccer", id say go in with low expectations and you will be fine. :)
