You have to know Hong Kong cinema better than I do to fully appreciate the spoofery involved in Chinese Odyssey 2002, but it's still a giddy lark, with some handsome actors poking fun at their serious roles and a lot of amusing sight gags. The version I saw on the Criterion Channel seems to have been shorn of some of its musical sequences.
