King of Comedy (1999)

[cranefly]

I loved this movie. Some of Stephen Chow's earliest stuff was so bathroom humor it was painful to watch. But by this stage in his career he'd flushed enough of that from his system to allow his true zaniness to shine through. Several sequences are burned into my reptilian brain -- the early Jackie Chan bit, the snot sequence that got me laughing so, and then a bit with a naked little boy that was just so off the wall and politically incorrect that I just shook my head and chuckled in amazement.

I so miss "this" Stephen Chow. Just like I miss the early Woody Allen.
