Intro

A Chinese Odyssey 2002 is romantic comedy starring Tony Leung, Faye Wong, Vicki Zhao, and Chang Chen. Tony is a wanderer/ troublemaker. Everyone knows him by the title of Bully the Kid. After returning to Meilong, his hometown, Tony decides to help find his tomboyish sister, Phoenix (Vicki Zhao), a suitable husband. Instead, Tony befriends a Princess, disguised as a man. Tony tries to get the Princess to marry his sister but the Princess is in love with Tony. There are two love stories in this movie. One love story is between Faye and Tony and the other love story is between Vicki and Chang. Will there love last? Will the Empress Dowager accept commoners to wed her royal children? Well, you have to watch and see.

 

Tony Leung

Of course Tony did a wonderful job. Although he is not as young as before, Tony fitted the character perfectly. His chemistry with the princess was perfect. It is funny how he keeps his toothpick in his hair to reuse over and over again.

 

Faye Wong

She also did a wonderful job. Her costume as a princess looked a little out of place because she looked better in her male costume.

 

Vicki Zhao

Her relationship with the emperor is so weird but so perfect. It is funny how she tries to win the princesss heart in the beginning. She tries to seduce the princess.

 

Chang Chen

I would never think of him as an emperor. From his Afro hair to his Japanese style hair, Chang Chen is just so funny. His mustache also makes him look funny. One good scene is when he fights Zuo and he tries to power up.

 

Athena Chu

Hilarious. She plays a male character all the way until the end. Only in one scene is she female. She looked very pretty in the scene where she was a goddess.
