Chow is a well-known, top-tier comedian and superstar of Hong Kong entertainment. This image is epitomized by his nickname 星爺 (Sing Yeh, lit. Grandmaster Sing). However, his brand of mo lei tau comedy, which includes puns, double entendre and jokes at the expense of unique aspects of Chinese culture, meant that few of his earlier films could exercise much impact in the West until his later films, Shaolin Soccer (2001) and Kung Fu Hustle (2004).

Professional career

Chow was a graduate at the Shaw Brothers' TVB acting school and co-hosted a popular Hong Kong children's program, 430 Shuttle, as a character named "Black and White Vampire". Though this was a stepping stone for his career, it limited it, offering no outstanding performances. At that time, Chow mainly played dramatic roles in Hong Kong TVB television series, one of which was called Dun Fei Final Combat (蓋世豪俠) (1989). Chow gave an outstanding performance and started to gain popularity in Hong Kong. Also, in that television series, he started the long-term collaboration relationship with director Lee Lik-Chi (李力持) and actor Ng Man Tat (吳孟達). In 1990, his performance in Jeff Lau's smash-hit All For The Winner launched him in a comedy film career, which is now his prime genre. The Shaw Studio (邵氏片場), owned by Shaw Brothers (HK) Ltd. ... Television Broadcasts Limited (SEHK: 0511), commonly known as TVB, was the first over-the-air commercial television station in Hong Kong. ... 430 Shuttle was a childrens show shown on TVB Jade in Hong Kong during the mid to late 1980s. ...

All for the Winner (Chinese: 賭聖 Literal translation: Saint of Gambling) is a 1990 Hong Kong comedy film directed by Jeff Lau and Corey Yuen. ...


His subsequent films were built on the success of All For The Winner, and he developed his distinct brand of humor known as mo lei tau (nonsense or "no-brainer") which makes frequent use of euphemisms and double entendres in inoffensive Cantonese slang. He regularly demonstrates his talent for improvisation, suggesting gags to directors to enhance the script, allowing him chances to make rewrites of the plot. By 1994, he was writing and directing some of his own films. Mo lei tau (無厘頭) is a name given to a type of humour originating from Hong Kong during the late 20th century. ... A euphemism is the substitution of an agreeable or less offensive expression in place of one that may offend or suggest something unpleasant to the listener;[1] or in the case of doublespeak, to make it less troublesome for the speaker. ...

The films themselves often follow a similar template: Chow portrays either an under-achiever who beats the odds, or an arrogant overachiever, who himself receives a lesson in humility before fighting back. Stephen Chow tends to use the underdog or rags-to-riches story to portray his character. Fight Back to School (1991), From Beijing With Love (1994) and The God of Cookery (1996) are notable examples of this style of work. His films would often utilize a historic environment, but also demonstrate the modern-period cross-cutting comedy, as in the films Justice, My Foot! (審死官) (1992) and Flirting Scholar (1993).

Occasionally, Chow would take a break from his comedies. One of his more serious films is the second part to A Chinese Odyssey, Cinderella (1994), loosely based on the classic Chinese epic Journey to the West. Although essentially a comedy at heart, Chow was able to develop his character more seriously than before. It was a box-office smash in Hong Kong and even ignited a cult following in Mainland China.

Recent films by Chow have begun to focus on comic action and special effects sequences rather than verbal humour in order to appeal to a wider international audience. The film which launched him to international fame was Shaolin Soccer (2001), which made heavy use of CGI and was directed by Chow himself. A later film, Kung Fu Hustle (2004), was also directed by Chow, and in February 2005, went on to surpass Shaolin Soccer as the highest grossing domestic movie in Hong Kong.

Trivia

  • When he was young, Chow learned Kung Fu by watching TV because his parents couldn't afford lessons. He still enjoys watching instructional Kung Fu videos to this day. Chow learned Wing Chun as a youth, and is himself a huge fan of Chinese Kung Fu legend Bruce Lee, and his films often contain direct references to him. Chow was, for a time, the president of the Bruce Lee fan club in Hong Kong and had a statue of Lee built.
  • There is often a cameo by an ugly bearded nose-picking cross-dresser in his films, and the role is almost always portrayed by Kin-yan Lee, a personal friend. This character is almost always called 如花 (literally means "Like a Flower") in these films.
  • Chow often collaborated with Lee Lik-chee (李力持) and Vincent Kok (谷德昭), both actors and directors, in the early stage of his career.
  • Chow is mentioned in the Regurgitator song "My Ego".
  • Despite having a comic persona onscreen, Chow is known to be the opposite in the public eye, often maintaining a quiet and serious demeanor. Chow was reported to state that he does not consider himself as a comedian.
  • Chow is a big fan of the popular anime and manga series, Dragon Ball. Chow will also be the producer of a Dragonball movie based on the animated cartoon. The movie has been penciled in for a worldwide release date of Aug. 15, 2008. However, this was later changed and the new release date appears to be for April 3, 2009.

  • Chow was denied emigration to Canada twice because of supposed links to the Triad society.
  • There is a recurring "martial art" in a few of Chow's films which loosely translated means "Hitting the Cow Through the Mountain". In this unique move, Chow punches one person (usually frequent co-star Ng Man-Tat), but the force generated by his 'Chi' travels through this person and continues on to hit powerfully the person standing next to the one he initially punched, and often beyond. In God of Gamblers Part III: Back to Shanghai, he was able to punch someone across the street with this move, after creating an effect through some fifteen people.
  • Most of his characters uses part of his name, Sing.
  • He is Seth Rogen's current choice to portray Kato in a film adaptation of The Green Hornet, but Chow's spokesman said the screenplay and style of the film has not been unveiled yet.
