Kung Fu Muscle
By Jeffrey M. Anderson Andy Lau (Fulltime Killer) stars as a monk-turned-bodybuilder called Big who can "see karma" and wears an almost-convincing foam muscle suit. He becomes involved with a murder case involving an Indian man who can twist himself up like a pretzel and a cute lady cop, Yee (Cecilia Cheung). Big sees that Yee is a reincarnated Japanese killer and will eventually die for her "crimes." It's all a little baffling, but -- as directed by Johnny To (The Heroic Trio) -- Running on Karma strikes the right tone between humor and action, and comes up with some truly spectacular scenes, not the least of which has Lau demonstrating his kung-fu skills on a Kleenex.
