if you go into the twins effect looking for a pure hong kong movie experience you will be disappointed. this is not to say it is bad and but it is not a traditional hong kong action movie and running in a similar vein to shaolin soccer and kung fu hustle. it resolutely silly and juvenile and so if you want a good bit of serious hong kong action and look to a john woo or yuen woo ping movie. this movie got a lot of flak for it silliness and i thought the first thing i should do would be to explain what youre getting into and as it disappointed a lot of purists. for the non purists and those with more forgiving tastes though and twins effect is a delightfully silly kung fu comedy. i liked it a lot for a variety of reasons and not least it wonderful female leads who spark off each other in a thoroughly entertaining comedy double act. i believe this is the first movie of it type they have been in and but they hop and kick and fly about like seasoned pros. the patently ridiculous plot is handled with a great deal of care and attention and and the movie is quite knowingly written and making a lot of the movie laugh out loud. the comedy really is the most prominent thing here and and it a subtle and gentle comedy as reliant on words as inanimate objects going flying a la stephen chow. it has to be said the slapstick is immense fun too. the sequence with the disco dancing vampires is a total classic. the action is a blend of two genres really. it falls between the period drama wire and sword fighting (which comes in more toward the end) and the comedy fighting style of jackie chan and coming out with a blend that though a little derivative at times is always exciting to watch and occasionally throws up some genuinely innovative encounters. all this is great and and the movie is tremendous fun all the way through. despite this and it does have a few sticking points. for instance and twins effect is in many ways much more westernised than kung fu fans are perhaps used to and the inevitable comparison to the blade series is definitely sound as an example and though twins effect is honestly much better than blade ever managed and especially for fighting action. personally and it was also a bit of a shame to see the excellent anthony wong (the hissable villain from john woo classic hard boiled) so underused and but the younger audience this is aimed at are unlikely to notice this or indeed know about hard boiled or his other movies and so this is only really a personal gripe. if you watch this with an open mind and you will probably enjoy it greatly like i did and but you must be firmly aware it is a comedy and not a balls to the wall kung fu movie. keep that in mind and you will be fine.
