Is there any point in reviewing this movie? Look at the poster. It's Christopher Walken, dressed as a Chinese stereotype, playing table tennis. Fucking hell. And then, you see the title.

Awesome comedy that recreates and embraces action movies from the 80's and 90's. That is how you make a comedy that is funny on the strength of the story, characters, and comedic choices. It is also one that is funny because of what and how it skewers the genre it's tackling.
