The first part is called Chinese Odyssey Part One: Pandora's Box while the second is called Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Cinderella. The film is very loosely based on Wu Cheng'en's 16th century novel Journey to the West. The third film, Chinese Odyssey Part Three, was released in China on September 14, 2016. Plot Part One 500 years ago, during their journey west to bring Buddhist scriptures, the Monkey was irritated by the constant whining of its master, the Monk of Longevity, and decided to betray him. He was intercepted and subdued by Guanyin, who decided to give him a second chance after the Longevity Monk pleaded for leniency and sacrificed himself. The monkey is reincarnated in the present as the Joker, the leader of a group of criminals. The Joker and his gang are attacked by two demons, Spider Woman and Bak Jing-Jing, who threaten and force them to do their bidding. The second in the Joker team (reincarnation of the Pigs) secretly eavesdropping on the demon's plan to capture the Monk of Longevity and feast on his flesh to gain immortality. The Joker subsequently falls in love with Bak jing-jin. Grandpa Buddha appears in disguise like a bunch of grapes, informs the Joker of the danger in which he is, and gives him a magic mirror that can reveal the true form of being. The group is attacked by the Bull King, who is also after the Monk of Longevity. Joker and Pigs escape with Bak Jing-jin and Spider Woman to The Falls Cave, where Demons begin to fight for the Joker. Buck Jing-jing and the Joker eventually escape from the cave while Spider-Man is impregnated with baby Pigsy by accident. As Buck Jing-Jing was poisoned by Spider Woman, the Joker returns to the cave to ask for an antidote, but is imprisoned by Spider-Man. At the same time, outside the cave, Buck Jing Jing is captured by Bull King, who treats her with poison. Inside the cave, the Joker finds a Pandora's box that can open a time portal when the moonlight shines on it and when Prayeparamita is sung. He also eavesdrops on Guanyin's voice, telling him that he is actually a Monkey in his past life and is destined to continue his quest to accompany his master on his way west. His true fate will be revealed after he receives three marks on the sole of his foot. Meanwhile, Bull King and Bak Jing-jing enter the cave and fight with a female spider. Bak Jing Jing committed suicide, mistakenly believing that the Joker betrayed her love and became the father of a child with a female spider. The Joker finds Buck Jing-Jing and tries to save her by traveling through time using Pandora's box, but each time he arrives a few seconds too late to stop her from committing suicide. He finally manages to do it in time to prevent Bak Jing Jing from slitning her throat, but she sacrifices herself to save him from the Bull King. The Joker travels through time again, but eventually goes back in time for 500 years. Outside the cave, he meets a fairy, ziksia, who confiscates Pandora's box and sears three dots on the sole of his feet to mark him as his servant. It fulfills his true destiny as a monkey. He looks into the magic mirror given to him by Buddha's grandfather earlier, and is shocked to see the reflection of himself as monkeys. Part 2 After traveling back in time, the Joker learns more about his past life and reunites with his master, Longevity Monk, and his comrades, Pigsy and Sandy. However, he doesn't want to accept his fate as a Monkey because he just wants to return Pandora's box and go back to 500 years later to save Buck Jing-jing. Sisia falls in love with him after he pulls her sword out of the sheath because she promised to marry a man who can unpack her sword. Chisia and Longevity Monk is captured by the Bull King, who wants to take ciccia as a concubine and feast on the flesh of the monk's longevity to become immortal. Pigs and Sandy try to save his master, but he refuses to leave if the Joker does not promise to fulfill his fate. The Joker goes in search of Ciccia and rescues her, after which they run away from Bull King. In the ensuing fight between the Joker and his comrades against The Bull King, the Joker falls off a cliff and finds himself in the Waterfall Cave, where he meets Grandpa Buddha and Bak Jing-jing. Bak Jing Jing agrees to marry initially, but she walks away later and tells him to save ziksia because she knows he's actually in love with More. Soon after, Spider-Man comes to the Waterfall Cave and kills everyone, including the Joker. At the time of his death, the Joker realizes that the one he really loves is Siss. The Joker, like a ghost, again hears Guanyin's voice in the cave, reminding him of his fate. He decides to accept his fate and puts on a golden circle, so turns into the Monkey. He returns to the world and rushes to the city of Bull King to save his master and stop the wedding ceremony of Bull King with Cicxia. Since he is now a Monkey, he must give up all his human desires, including love, so he tells Tsisa that he is not the Joker and pretends to despise her. Monkey and Bull King are involved in the battle. When Bull King realizes he is losing, he uses the magic fan princess iron fan to shoot down strong winds that will blow the whole city to the sun and kill everyone in the process. The monkey succeeds in stopping King's Bull and saves everyone, but Tzica sacrifices himself to save him. When she dies, the Monkey reveals his love for her and, as a result, his circle tightens and makes him feel extreme agony. In anger, he beats The Bull King before fleeing with his master, Pigsy and Sandy, using Pandora's box. The monkey wakes up later and finds himself in a cave, but with his owner and comrades this time. Outside the cave, in a busy city, the Monkey sees the incarnations of the Joker and Ciccia in a confrontation on top of a wall. He uses his powers to possess the Joker's body and gave Tzies a long and passionate kiss before leaving the Joker's body. The Joker recovers and is surprised to see himself locked in an arms with Cicxia, but accepts and continues the romance with her. They notice that the Monkey leaves the crowd below and laughs at his appearance. The monkey does not turn back until behind the gate, where he gave a final look at the cuddling couple and continues the journey west with his comrades.

  • Warriors As the Feminised Other
    Warriors as the Feminised Other The study of male heroes in Chinese action cinema from 2000 to 2009 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chinese Studies at the University of Canterbury by Yunxiang Chen University of Canterbury 2011 i Abstract ―Flowery boys‖ (花样少年) – when this phrase is applied to attractive young men it is now often considered as a compliment. This research sets out to study the feminisation phenomena in the representation of warriors in Chinese language films from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China made in the first decade of the new millennium (2000-2009), as these three regions are now often packaged together as a pan-unity of the Chinese cultural realm. The foci of this study are on the investigations of the warriors as the feminised Other from two aspects: their bodies as spectacles and the manifestation of feminine characteristics in the male warriors. This study aims to detect what lies underneath the beautiful masquerade of the warriors as the Other through comprehensive analyses of the representations of feminised warriors and comparison with their female counterparts. It aims to test the hypothesis that gender identities are inventory categories transformed by and with changing historical context. Simultaneously, it is a project to study how Chinese traditional values and postmodern metrosexual culture interacted to formulate Chinese contemporary masculinity. It is also a project to search for a cultural nationalism presented in these films with the examination of gender politics hidden in these feminisation phenomena. With Laura Mulvey‘s theory of the gaze as a starting point, this research reconsiders the power relationship between the viewing subject and the spectacle to study the possibility of multiple gaze as well as the power of spectacle.

  • Bamcinématek Presents Stephen Chow: the King of Comedy, Oct 6—12
    BAMcinématek presents Stephen Chow: The King of Comedy, Oct 6—12 “The reigning king of Hong Kong comedy.”—J. Hoberman Co-presented with the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in New York. The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAM Rose Cinemas and BAMcinématek. Brooklyn, NY/Sep 8, 2014—From Monday, October 6 through Sunday, October 12, BAMcinématek presents Stephen Chow: The King of Comedy, an eight-film retrospective of the Hong Kong actor, writer, and director. Chow’s audaciously anarchic comedies combine surreal sight gags, non sequiturs, extensive pop culture quoting, and gravity-defying martial arts to sublimely silly effect. Endlessly inventive, the reigning king of Hong Kong mo lei tau (―nonsense comedy‖) yields unfiltered cinematic pleasure. Initially prominent as a children’s television star, Chow became synonymous with mo lei tau, a style of film comedy in which traditional melodramas and kung fu tales are peppered with rapid- fire, fourth-wall-breaking slapstick bits and corny puns. A bigger box-office draw in his homeland than Jackie Chan or Jet Li, Chow—who cites Spielberg and Kubrick, along with Jim Carrey, as influences—has used his clout in recent years to fashion himself as an auteur, scripting, editing, and directing a series of high-budget, homage-filled blockbusters. Typical of Chow’s earliest hits, Johnnie To’s Justice, My Foot! (1992—Oct 8) casts the actor as a fast-talking lawyer whose mouth gets him into trouble, and whose kung fu-fighting wife gets him out of it—one of many tough, smart heroines Chow uses as foils for his feckless alter egos.

  • Killing Time: the Handover and Its Afterlives
    Hong Kong Studies, Vol. 1, No. 1 (Spring 2018), 100–115 Killing Time: The Handover and ,ts Afterlives Copyrighted Material of The Chinese University Press | AllCarlos Rights ReservedRojas Abstract This essay uses an analysis of Fruit Chan’s 2016 film Kill Time to reflect on the legacy of the Handover, and on the significance of its upcoming twentieth—and, later, fiftieth—anniversaries. Although Chan’s film is set in contemporary Beijing, is based on a novel by a Painland Chinese author, and at first glance appears to have little to do with Hong Kong, this essay argues that if we look beyond the film’s surface narrative, we find that the work explores a set of concerns relevant to the Handover and its legacies. Of particular interest is the sense of anticipation and anxiety that the Handover has generated, as well as the sense of potentiality and foreboding contained in the 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration’s guarantee that Hong Kong would enjoy a post-Handover moratorium of “fifty years without change.” At the same time, [the Handover] also should not become a black hole that we pretend doesn’t exist so that we don’t need to approach it or touch it. Therefore, in 1997 I resolved to write not about its present, but rather about its past while at the same time writing about its future. From a future vantage point I sought to reconstruct the past; and from a past vantage point I sought to project the future. From this deliberate interweaving of past and future, I hope that a present that is more full of possibility might gradually emerge.
