The visual flourishes were so dead on; personal fave was the cat shadow leaping then dividing in two perfect halves.

We saw this on saturday as a belated birthday present for me. It was fucking great. I had forgotten how much i enjoy kung fu flicks, and how much these movies tend have a really humanist message: no matter what happens, normal people can overcome their problems with kung fu.
except in this movie, it's divine-powered kung fu, so many that message doesn't work so well.
oh well. I had fun picking out the returning actors from Shaolin Soccer.

the axe-gang shimmy dance near the start !
the chase sequence where their legs are a blur like in roadrunner cartoons, and they lean over like motorbikes when taking curves is great - but is given *extra* greatness by the fact that the legs appear to be moving in a ridiculously 'running on the spot' way, like some cockney knees-up
(the 'fairy' jokes and innuendo was the only thing that provoked occasional bit of cringe - reminded me of Carry On Up The Clishayyyy)
