TehBotolSosro on Sixty Million Dollar Man

· Jul 3, 2013

I’ve consistently enjoyed Stephen Chow's films from the mid-80s through the late 90s because his comedies are reliably funny; I don’t often laugh out loud while watching that type of movie. It seems like much of the film was shot in Hawaii. The story centers on a wealthy man who is killed by mafia members after he angered the boss's girlfriend. That's when things become truly absurd. A lot of the humor doesn’t really follow any logical pattern, and that’s what makes this movie work. The character was brought back to life by a professor resembling Einstein for $6000 because his father couldn't afford the full cost of the procedure, which would have been sixty million dollars. The film’s title comes from that difference—a massive reduction in expenses resulting in an imperfect resurrection. Now he has the ability to transform into different forms at will and needs batteries for sustenance. What I found funniest was his body's condition; his penis had been replaced with a shower hose. When he realized what it was, grabbing the hose and exclaiming "What is this ah?" before passing out, I almost choked on my popcorn—it was that funny. Eventually, he finds work as a teacher at a school filled with unruly students, and from there, the plot just escalates in absurdity. Essentially, Stephen Chow can be considered the Asian equivalent of Jim Carrey, but his jokes are taken to even more extreme heights.
