Forbidden City Cop
“He is the law! what law?”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 65, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
An imperial agent with dubious inventions tries to prove his usefulness in a court full of intrigue. Stephen Chow combines marital comedy, spy parody and martial-arts fantasy, often making the gadget more troublesome than the danger. The story splits in several directions, but the comic invention is generous.
