More mystical beings appear in the course of the movie. Director Jeffrey Lau himself plays the Grapes sent to protect Tripitaka, but is badly beaten up by Joker. Bull King’s entrance triggers a B-grade style fight which draws inspiration from vintage Hong Kong kungfu flicks.
Journey to the West is one of China’s Four Great Classical Novels. The tale goes that Tripitaka,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Monkey King,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Pigsy and Sandy trek to India on a pilgrimage to obtain sutras. Hong Kong director Jeffrey Lau keeps it reverential, while injecting delirious comedy in this unique setup. The two-part parody explores reincarnation. A Chinese Odyssey is great for viewers who love some entertaining Chinese history sans fact.
A Chinese Odyssey: Pandora’s Box opens with Monkey King Sun Wu Kong (Stephen Chow) arguing with Goddess of Happiness. Monkey King has broken Celestial Laws and must be punished. But Master Tripitaka (Law Kar Ying) takes the blame and loses his life. Both are kicked out of Heaven.
In Part One: Pandora's Box, Monkey King is reincarnated 500 years later and his only identifying feature is three marks on his feet. Greedy demons manifest,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], looking to eat Tripitaka’s flesh when he re-enters the world. Confusion from reincarnated identities guarantees a bundle of fun.
Time Travel Pandora’s Box
Unbeknownst to him, Joker (Stephen Chow) is the reincarnated Monkey King, and suffers from strange dreams. Teasing between Joker and bandit pals (veteran actors Ng Man Tat and Johnnie Kong) ends in a plan to trap Spider Spirit at night. But Joker’s privates are accidentally set on fire! This burning gag repeats itself at dinner time, and is absolutely hysterical.

Joker Falls in Love with White Bone Spirit
The best part is the time travel scene. Joker is bestowed a time travel box upon learning his Monkey King identity. He uses it to save a dying Jing Jing, kicking off crazy time repetitions. It is pure Stephen Chow fun at his nonsensical best.
A Chinese Odyssey has a beautiful love story element. White Bone Demoness Pak Jing Jing (Karen Mok) is also after Tripitaka’s flesh. But she falls in love with Joker, who resembles Monkey King. The film builds to a climax when evil sister Spider Woman poisons Jing Jing and they must find the antidote.
Mad time travel hurtles Joker back 500 years, where he ends up at Pan Si Cave. He becomes a servant of the vivacious Zixia (Athena Chu),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who puts three marks on Joker’s feet. Thus the rei
Fast-forward 500 years later and director Jeffrey Lau sets the film in the desert. Bandits ambush a lady traveller on horseback, without knowing she is the demonic Spider Spirit. Lam Kit Ying’s Spider Woman is terribly alluring. Her mesmerising eyes and deep voice spell-bind the men into surrendering. She wants to locate Tripitaka.
Stephen Chow is amazing in this opening scene. Yes, his face paint and costumes may have helped. But it is his acting that shines – proof that his talent stands head and shoulders above the rest. Stephen Chow nails the monkey movement right down to the way he scratches his neck and imitates a buzzing fly. He even incorporates nuances of Chinese opera.
How Tripitaka re-enters is a surprise. Meanwhile Ng Man Tat keeps viewers laughing with his love for Spider Woman…His sluggish mannerisms soon reveal he will become Pigsy. Johnnie Kong as the delightful effeminate bandit will later become Sandy.
