A Chinese Odyssey

A Chinese Odyssey is a two-part fantasy comedy released in 1995. Part one was titled A Chinese Odyssey Part One: Pandora's Box and the second, A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Cinderella. Very loosely based on Journey to the West, it centers on the life of the Monkey King and his pursuit of freedom and love. Aside from segments based on the original novel, the films also use elements of slapstick comedy and martial arts.

Though the original dialogue is in Cantonese, some of the dialogues from the series, especially those on love, have reached cult classic status among Mandarin-speaking viewers.

Director: Jeffrey Lau

Release date: Jan 21, 1995

Starring: Stephen Chow, Karen Mok, Athena Chu
