Now known as Flint, the head of the guard for their sleepy village, Gazer can still fire off his laser eye-beams. Aroma, the former avenger of domestic abuse, is now a happy wife and greasy spoon proprietor called Rouge. She wields the aroma force-palm and the power to cloud men’s minds with scent. They both are also strong, fast, and well neigh invulnerable. They did not even fight much, until an official delegation came to town.
Something is not right about the competition, ostensibly called to re-rank the various martial arts disciplines away from the gossipy imperial court. However, the HK Incredibles are distracted by their first marital squabble. Rouge slightly resents the attention Flint is paying to Phoenix Bleu, one of the martial arts apprentices, who once had a close encounter with the masked Gazer as a little girl. She is drawn to Flint because he reminds her of her hero, for good reason.
The humor of Incredible is decidedly goof-ball, but by-and-large, it is an amiable tribute to marital love, honor, and commitment. While the slightly suggestive references are not infrequent, they are veiled enough to be lost on the target audience for the slapstick mayhem. In fact, it is somewhat similar in tone to Stephen Chow’s films, like CJ7, which Kok co-wrote and featured his Incredible co-writer, Min Hun-fung in a supporting role. It even has the occasional animatronic critter to strengthen the comparison.
Louis Koo and Sandra Ng Kwun-yu are pleasantly comfortable as the super spouses, developing some nice easy chemistry together. Li Qin is quite charming as Phoenix Bleu, but unfortunately, Kok completely forgets about her throughout the third act. Wang Bo-chieh has the right creepy vibe, but he is a bit too reserved as the villainous Grandmaster Blanc. He should be gorging on the scenery in a film like this. However, there are plenty of odd looking characters in the supporting cast to help maintain the comic book atmosphere.
