It was an enjoyable film but it didn't get me laughing too much-just now and again. My favourite part was the battle with the musician/assassin guys, so stylishly done.
Both were great. Flirting Scholar is good too. In fact I'd say so far I have yet to find a Stephen Chow movie I dislike.

"in some cases because the writer knows that Character A will dominate Character B easily and refuses to allow this to happen for the sake of the story."
Basically anything pre-saint of gamblers was imo pretty tacky. Have you seen "curry and pepper", and "my hero?". Not that great.
After 1991, Chow pulled out some really crazily entertaining films.
