Cast Member: Mo Meilin

As is often the case with Chow’s movies, what really sets it apart from other outings in the genre is the inclusion of a heartfelt story.

The cast is not without charm, the idea not without potential, but ‘The Real Iron Monkey’ is a certified dud.

It has a fairly optimistic aim of being a comedy ‘Detective Dee’ and while it might not quite achieve a happy union between its components this is an undemanding distraction.
