Revision as of 15:15, 29 December 2005 by Chris1219 (talk | contribs)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)A Chinese Odyssey (大話西遊) is a series of two 1994 films, directed by Jeffrey Lau. They are some of actor Stephen Chow's most famous movies, the first one being A Chinese Odyssey Part One: Pandora's Box and the second one being A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Cinderella.
The two films together can be called a "sad comedy" showcasing Stephen's comic genius while telling a sad love story. Loosely based on the classic Journey to the West tale, it tells the story of a man called Joker, supposedly a reincarnation of the Monkey King. As demons start to hunt him down, he falls in love with a white bone spirit and accidentally gets transported back in time with Pandora's Box.
Cast and roles include
- Stephen Chow - Monkey King (Sun Wukong)/Joker
- Athena Chu - Lin Zixia
- Ng Man Tat - Piggy (Zhu Bajie)
- Law Kar-Ying - Longevity Monk (Tang Sanzang)
- Lam Kit Ying - Spider Woman
- Karen Mok - Pak Jing-Jing
- Jeffrey Lau - The Grapes
