Love the flying headbutt. Nice to hear it being recieved well and definitely looking forward to it. I see that kung fu song made it to the Japanese trailer too.. :/

I saw the film last week. It's non-stop action all the way through. Some of it borders on being cartoony and the film is not as fresh or comedic as Shaolin Soccer but the action is just so well done, as is the pathos. And the bonus is the endearing characters who are all so ordinary, yet extraordinary.
I can't wait to see it! I loved Shaolin Soccer and have seen a few other Stephen Chow movies (God of Cookery, From Beijing with Love) and loved them all.
It's a bit different from his previous films in that Chow himself gets less screentime and the female 'lead' is a mute so she doesn't get any lines. Instead, Chow shares the limelight with some legendary gongfu screen stars like Leung Siu Lung, Yuen Qiu and Yuen Wah (the landlady and the landlord) and they're absolutely brilliant. It's a better tribute film to Hong Kong Kung Fu than Kill Bill.
