The movie offers a wide variety of genre mixes, such as comedy, martial arts, drama and mystery, so there definitely is something for just about anyone sitting down to watch it. And directors Stephen Chow and Vincent Kok managed to put together a very enjoyable movie. Of course it is, this is a Stephen Chow movie after all. The storyline is actually good, and it is laced with a good amount of action and comedy. I enjoy his movies and his comedy, so this was a nice treat for me to watch. Which was a mistake on my behalf, because "Forbidden City Cop" was entertaining and enjoyable, and it was a very archetypical Stephen Chow movie, for better or worse. Actually, I hadn't even heard about it prior to sitting down to watch it. Now, with my interest in Hong Kong cinema, I oddly enough had managed to not watch this movie before 2020. Well, if you are familiar with Stephen Chow, then you should definitely watch "Forbidden City Cop" (aka "Daai laap mat taam Ling Ling Fat") from 1996.
