Eagle Shooting Heroes (DVD)
Little known gem of a comedy masterpiece from 1993. Wong Kar Wai executively produced this and followed it up with his own bewildering "Ashes of Time".
To get all the jokes, you must have some working knowledge of the Teochew accent and Louis Cha's sprawling "Legend of the Condor Heroes". Seemingly haphazard, most of the jokes, slapstick or otherwise, do work, except for the men in rubber suits part and the nauseating homosexual courting ritual.
The best part - East Evil Ouyang Feng's repeated attempts at the assassination of North Beggar Hong Qi, who is seemingly indestructible.
Comes with deleted scenes, which some work as jokes and some don't.
Highly recommended.
