Stephen Chow's A Chinese Odyssey , director Jeff Lau's epic two-part retelling of the legend of the Monkey King, greatly enhanced Stephen Chow's international profile. The role as Monkey King earned Stephen Chow his first acting award, from the Hong Kong Film Critics Society, and further demonstrated the existence of the actor beneath the comedian. The two A Chinese Odyssey films, Pandora's Box and Cinderella , blend costume pageantry with gorgeous scenery and some fabulous action sequences from action choreographer Ching Siu Tung ( Hero ). Stephen Chow turns in a hilarious and emotionally moving performance to offer a costume comedy adventure unlike any you've ever seen! A bold reinvention of the classic A Journey to the West , the two films follow the adventure of Joker (Stephen Chow), a scruffy Ancient Chinese gang leader who's really the reincarnated form of the Monkey King. Two evil sister demons (Yammie Nam and Karen Mok) nudge Joker in the correct direction and complete the Journey to the West. Part 2 starts with Joker (Stephen Chow) just discovering that he is, in fact, fated to be the Monkey King. But he is much more concerned with traveling forward in time to save his wife, one of the sisters who used to be his enemy, from certain death. Unfortunately, he's indentured to the beautiful, but schizophrenic Zixia (Athena Chu), who's bent on becoming Joker's true love! But to finally become the Monkey King, Joker must cast off all human desire. Can he forsake human love to save his Master, the Longevity Monk (Law Kar Ying)? This edition comes with director's interview and trailer.
