Popup Chinese   /     Advanced - James Bond in Hong Kong

Summary

You might be a fan of Steven Chow. Or maybe you've never heard of the man and in that case we feel sort of appalled that you've made it this far into Cantonese. But in either case, if you've spent time in Hong Kong we're betting you recognize this scene: in a bustling street market, a young butcher slaughters a pig with turn of his machete before lifting a cigarette to his mouth and taking a sip from a dry martini. The image is iconic and familiar to everyone in Hong Kong. And that's why the subject of our Cantonese podcast today is one of the most classic Hong Kong comedies to ever come from the surreal but inspired mind of Steven Chow. So if you've been pushing your Cantonese into shape and are looking for a fun and interesting way to make it even better, join us in our first Advanced Cantonese podcast. And write us with your feedback at service@popupcantonese.com. We'd love to hear what you think.
