Wonderful character development!

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

'His Name Is Nobody' is forgotten Kung Fu classid with Lau Kar Wing (also known as Liu Chia-yung) and Dean Shek who were huge stars of that era. Although the film is enjoyable and little bit above average, it still uses many dervative cliches of the genre. The film combines slapstick comedy with well choreographed fighting, but it has some problems changing the tone of the movie - shifts between slapstick and serious brutality are uneven and sometimes too sudden. 'His Name Is Nobody' is far from the worst what that era's Hong Kong cinema can offer. It balances safely between. Although fun to watch, I dare to recommend it only to the fans of the genre.

It starts tragically as the kid is orphaned but this is a martial arts comedy. The brother of the grandmaster (Lau Kar-Leung) grows up to a life on the street. He partners with Dean Shek who teaches him con artist, sleight of hand and kung fu skills (without the drawn out training sequence). They do a scam involving finding a man's son that I do not understand. Next Karl Maka makes them an offer. My copy is wide screen and the subtitles seem to have been added by a later. The resolution is good enough for a modern television.Dean Shek is at his best as the Prime Minister of Funny faces. Lau Kar-Wing does a masterful job of mostly slapstick fight choreography. This movie is really just for the fans of the golden age of martial arts movies from 1967 to 1984 as I am sure anyone else would not get it and just be hypercritical. For the fans though I recommend it and rate it above average.
