Stephen Chow wasn't able to slow down his taste for 'moleitau' and he tried to mix it with different kind of film genres. He parodied internationally acclaimed movies such as Lethal Weapon with Curry & Pepper, Leon the Professional with Out Of The Dark or Kindergarten Cop (starring Arnold Scwhazenegger) with Fight Back To School. The latest, directed by Gordon Chan in 1991, deals with a SDU member who goes undercover in a high school in order to retrieve the police chief stolen pistol. It was so popular that Chow made two more sequels. In Fight Back To School 3, he parodied Basic Instinct with the help of Anita Mui playing the role of Sharon Stone. Chow carried on his home-made remakes of all kind of films with the Kung Fu comedies Fist of Fury 91 and Legend Of The Dragon, in which he paid a tribute to his idol Bruce Lee. He has always considered him as a model in life.

"Bruce Lee's wushu theories heated up my heart like a fireball, helping me through many difficult times" he explained in an interview given to Reuters in May 2002.

Chow made period films as well with the help of well-acclaimed HK directors Gordon Chan (King Of Beggars) and Johnnie To (Justice My Foot!).

In all these genres, king of comedy Chow excels in the art of non-sensical visual and verbal gags, in fast speeches and funny faces. It was therefore not surprising to see in HK theatres in 1995 a parody of Hollywood clown Jim Carey's The Mask: 60 Million-Dollar Man. If the first half of the movie doesn't convince you, the second half is a must seen when a mad scientist resurrects the hero suffering from an explosion that let only his mouth, brain and penis intact! His body is then recreated and has the ability to transform into everyday life objects such as a hose, a Hoover, a toilet seat, a microwave¡­ It's totally non-sensical and absurd all along, a bit like in Tex Avery's cartoons. Chow even dared to parody the dance scene between Uma Thurman and John Travolta from Pupl Fiction!

Fond of parodies and spy movies, Chow had to try the James Bond films. In From Beijing With Love (1994), he portrays an ex-secret agent who now sells delicatessen. He is re-hired by the secret services to find out who has stolen a very precious dinosaur skull. In fact, he's been chosen for his misbehaviour and incompetence. Obviously, like an inspector Clouzot from the Pink Panther, he'll manage to avoid with much luck all traps set up by other spies. In this James Bond spoof, everything is laugh at: the music, Q and his gadgets (the torch only working with solar energy), bloody gunfights (where our hero digs up a bullet from his leg with a pickaxe). As this movie ranked third at the local box office with more than HK$ 37 millions, Chow decided to co-directed a year later another 007 film spoof.

This time, Forbidden City Cop takes place at the Forbidden City in ancient times. The whole thing is an accumulation of absurd and heavy gags that somehow work together. Chow is a security agent in the Imperial court. His is unlike his colleagues; they are very strong and gifted in martial arts. He is in fact a witty inventor (who first invented cannon balls, helicopters and multi-speed devices for conjugal bed). He cannot convince the Emperor of the utility of such devices, he has to hide and eventually he becomes a gynaecologist. He however still wants to be inventor and got help from his wife (Carina Lau). He ends up eluding, thanks to his inventions and his brain, various plots against the Emperor involving the Roswell alien, super villains and a faceless monster disguised as a whore.
