Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Stephen Chow reportedly improvised roughly 30% of his dialogue, driving Wong Jing insane but creating the film's most quotable moments.
The film parodies Jin Yong's classic wuxia novel Duke of Mount Deer so aggressively that fans debated if it was homage or desecration—Hong Kong audiences didn't care and made it the year's highest-grossing film.
