Shi Shen (in
English, "The God of Cookery") is a truly
fucked up comedic film in the tradition of the
Iron Chef, kung fu movies, and Chinese food commercials. Made in
Hong Kong, it is the story of (duh) the God of Cookery and his adventures with a
traitorous flunky, an unattractive woman called Sister Turkey, a band of
hooligans, a bizzare dish called "
Assorted Noodle," very bizzare
meatball-like things,
the 18 Brassmen of Shao-lin, a ridiculous competition for the title of God of Cookery, and some really whacked
Oriental special effects.
Totally worth seeing. You will laugh until you pee your pants. For extra entertainment, have a "Make Your Own Sushi Night" when you see it. Just try not to inhale the wasabe when you laugh.
