In fact, I watched three Stephen Chow films on three successive nights.

Sometimes we think alike in a tesseractylian sort of way, and that kind of disturbs me.

LOO was working for me in the first half as a typical Chow-Daoist-Exorcist-rom-com, as if that is even a thing.  I do luv the Daoist-exorcist comedy genre, in the wake of Mr. Vampire (1985) - some really wacky flicks.  But then LOO goes down the loo, descending into potty humor with dick, ass, gay, fart, pee, & poop jokes.  The odd part for me was Bill Tung as Uncle Biu.  I never really thought about him much.  His Chinese name is Tung Biu, and Biu is translated as 'Bill'.  It's essentially the same character as the Uncle Bill he played in Jackie Chan's Police Story franchise.  I looked him up and it turns out that he almost always plays a character named Uncle Biu/Bill.  What a funny career.  The Amy Yip cameo was puerile yet so Amy Yip (the lust spell stricken police chief).  Amy built her career on her bountiful bosoms.  Another funny career.  

cf, you did realize that LOO was mostly a spoof of Sammo Hung's Where's Officer Tuba?  

This film could totally be remade/redeemed with today's CGI and an EDM soundtrack.
