Well I reckon you could also compare him to the Pink Panther - or Johnny English. Although more like the former I assume ... tough to really put him anywhere but you get the jist. Obviously if you have seen a Chow movie, you know how ridiculous his movies can be.
The jokes work fine, even if you do not know the movies they are based on. There are the evil maniacs who do their best to plot against .. our main character or the world in general. There is the love interest ... that is more than that by the way. Quite feisty and with a mind of her own.
What you may not like is how this handles the jokes and the serious stuff. It is not a fine line - no pun intended. The movie walks all over the place when it comes to that. Because silly meets blood and violence. Sometimes both meet each other and cuddle with each other. What you won't have is nudity, but other than that this really goes all out.
