	* In many of Chow's films a main character may start physically ugly and then when finding their true potential will become beautiful. He does this often to humanize the character.		* In many of Chow's films a main character may start physically ugly and then when finding their true potential will become beautiful.

		+	*Stephen Chow's US film debut was originally going to be playing the part of Kato on 2011's "The Green Hornet." He was signed on to star and direct the film however he dropped out due to creative differences. While he was still set to be in the film he said of the role, "The idea of stepping into Bruce Lee’s shoes as Kato is both humbling and thrilling, and to get the chance to direct the project as my American movie debut is simply a dream come true.”

	==My Thoughts on Movies==		==My Thoughts on Movies==
		+
		+	Shaolin Soccer -- When introducing people to the world of Stephen Chow I tend to start with Shaolin Soccer. It's the most accessible to American audiences since the Chinese specific jokes are low and the Kung Fu Comedy is high.
		+
		+	Kung Fu Hustle -- I went to the world premiere of Kung Fu Hustle at Sundance in 2005. This movie is a good movie to watch second as it still is easy to handle for American audiences. The movie has more cartoonish moments and is often compared most to Looney Tunes cartoons, with the same amount of humor and action as a Roadrunner cartoon. It even has a direct homage to the Roadrunner cartoons.
		+
		+	God of Cookery -- Among Chow fans this movie is often at the top of their lists. The best way to describe the movie is if you were to mix Shaolin Soccer but instead of Soccer replace it with Iron Chef. Kung Fu Cooking competitions.
		+
		+	Love on Delivery -- This is my personal favorite, it's a mix of a kung fu comedy with a romantic comedy. The love story in this one is more important then any of the other themes. Kung Fu only comes in when the main character tries to become a Kung Fu Master in order to impress the girl that he likes. The movie ends with my favorite sequence including a boxing ring and a giant hamster wheel.
