I wanted to like "Skinny Tiger and Fatty Dragon" (aka "Shou hu fei long"). I really did. But the movie was just a swing and a miss for me. The storyline never really caught my interest, and the entire movie felt like something you had already seen in other movies.
The storyline, while it failed to appeal to me, was fairly straight forward, if not overly generic for a comedy of this type.
And oddly enough, even with a cast that included Sammo Kam-Bo Hung and Karl Maka in the lead roles, then the movie turned out to be bland for me. In fact, I ended up turning it off after about an hour of prolonged viewing, where it felt like I was getting nowhere in the story.
There are lots of comedies in this particular genre, and "Skinny Tiger and Fatty Dragon" was just too generic and sort of just floated away quietly in the tsunami of these movies that were readily made in the early 1990s.
My rating of "Skinny Tiger and Fatty Dragon" is a four out of ten stars. I have no intention of returning to finish watching the movie, because there simply is no point of doing so for me.
