FORBIDDEN CITY COP follows the usual mould for a Stephen Chow comedy. It has a handful of truly impressive, immersive and highly creative action sequences that showcase some wacky special effects and choreography, and it shares a couple of cast members with the '80s likes of SHAOLIN DRUNKARD which it pays homage to. These action bits are outstanding and quite hilarious. As usual, it's the bits in between that fall flat; the scenes of Chow and his wife or Chow searching for a concubine are pretty dull and not up to par. Chow is an immensely likeable presence and I just wish the bits in between the good bits were as good as the good bits, if you see what I'm getting at.
