It's really funny. I expected it to be more along the lines of "Kung Pow," but it's really not. It's nowhere near as broad-humored as "Pow" was.

This is more of a funny homage to classic martial arts movies, what with the assortment of cliched (and totally not cliched) characters. Plus, you can tell that Chow is a fan of American movies, because he managed to work in references to "Spider-Man," "The Shining," "Gangs of New York," and "The Matrix" without any of them being unfunny.

"The Beast" was a great character, but I won't say anymore so I don't spoil anything for anyone. But, yeah, it's very funny. And it's completely in Chinese, with a couple of English lines thrown in for purely humorous purposes.
