From Beijing with Love: Starting the night out I decided to check out Stephen Chow's parody of James Bond films. Chow plays the Bond-like hero out to save the day and find a missing dinosaur skull. Anita Yuen shows up as his partner in Hong Kong and of course, she's working for the enemy. Several Bond villains are parodied and the whole movie degenerates into typical Chow silliness that people paid to see.

While I am normally a Stephen Chow fan, I have to admit that a lot of this film left me more smirking that laughing. Somehow this movie just didn't excite me the way it should have. Perhaps it was the amount of blood in this film or just the fact that I never seemed to have any idea what was going on.

I would have to say if you want a Chow film you can do better but you may as well pick this one up for completion's sake.
