SYNOPSIS / Editorial Review about - Royal Tramp |
Stephen Chow plays his usual ne'er-do-well character, this time a comedian named Wilson Bond, who makes his living telling tales in his sister's ( Sandra Ng ) brothel. A group of rebels are using the brothel as a meeting place, and when the Manchus attack to destroy the rebellion, Chow saves the leader ( Damian Lau ), who then initiates him into the group. Chow's first mission is to infiltrate the Forbidden City as a servant in order to steal a series of books which reveal the location of a Manchu treasure. Upon entering the compound, Chow mistakenly becomes a eunuch (but somehow manages to save his little Stephen) under the tutelage of wily Ng Man-Tat. Tat also wants the Manchu treasure, and so sends Stephen into the emperor's chambers, where he manages to convince the emperor and his sister ( Chingmy Yau ) that he is a kung-fu master, and so the emperor gives Stephen yet another task -- to kill a general named O'Brian ( Elvis Tsui ) who is plotting a revolution of his own.
Well, as you can probably tell, Royal Tramp has the usual Wong Jing kitchen sink plot and can become more than a bit confusing at times. It's also extremely violent in parts -- O'Brian likes to literally rip his opponents apart -- and of course, there is the requisite Wong Jing toilet humor (there is a running joke where Tat confuses Stephen with his long-lost penis). Despite its' schizophrenic style, though, Royal Tramp is still a very entertaining movie, mostly due to Stephen Chow's performance. Royal Tramp isn't as funny as some of Chow's other films, but it still generates a good amount of laughs, especially if you have seen a few of the movies which this film parodies (one sequence is a really dead-on jab at the Once Upon a Time in China series, including a re-worked version of The General's Orders). Combined with some decent action sequences and a lot of eye candy from Chingmy Yau and Cheung Man (who -- in the wacky world of Hong Kong movies -- plays Chingmy's mother, even though she looks to be only a couple of years older than her), Royal Tramp has the makings for a innocuous way to kill ninety minutes.
