Called one of the weirdest kung fu movies of all time, this arch classic, ultra-wacky Hong Kong opus by King of Comedy Stephen Chow (Shaolin Soccer, Kung Fu Hustle) feeds the screwball comedy paradigm Chow's patented formula of hyper-slapstick and irreverence. Chow stars as a fallen sham chef who rises from the ashes of his own folly like a 'dragon and phoenix' to create dishes such as "Pissing Beef Balls" and “Sorrowful Rice.” A guaranteed mind-blowing gastronomic good time not to be missed!.....Post-screening PARTY with specially themed FOOD TASTINGS to match the film! From Brooklyn Ramen, Char Sue, Chapati Man, Halal Guys! as well as drinks to enjoy the food and the company!....... SVA MEMBERS: use code SVAmemberWS20 and show ID at the Theatre.
