Uncle Roger Review FAVORITE FOOD MOVIE (God Of Cookery)

Uncle Roger evolved even more from roasting chefs mainly Jamie Oliver to reviewing Food movies

Fun fact:
The actor who plays the guy who trigger the explosive is called Ng man tat. He and Stephen chow acted a lot of movie together and is known as stephen's sidekick in many movies. My fav from the pair is Fight back to school. Ng Man tat unfortunately past away 2 years ago but Stephen Chow still is alive. The pair was basically the god of comedy to us Cantonese speaker.

as an asian, I can confirm that our kungfu editing magic can turn even raw poop into exquisite dish worthy for 5-star restaurants in 2 minutes

One of my fav Chow movies ever. The scenes where he gets pummeled by the 18 Brassmen of Shaolin never fails to crack me up. That’s where he learned how effective of a weapon the simple folding chair can be. 😂

OMG! As a Filipino, I remember watching this movie as a kid, but my parents never told me what the movie title was. Now watching this scene again and finally knowing the title of the movie makes me wanna watch the whole thing again. So much memories! 😊

I'm from India and people here are very familiar to Stephen Chow's Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle. But it wasn't until covid that I discovered this gem of a movie. I don't know how many times I must've watched this (in Mandarin/Cantonese). The movie like it's dishes transcend ethnicity.

As a Cantonese-speaking person, I just LOVE that Stephen Chow is still getting recognition even after all these years. His movies defined many of us Canto kids’ childhood. That’s why he is always the comedic GOAT.

Uncle Roger must know at least more than 3 languages at this point, he knows Mandarin, Cantonese, English, Malay and a little bit of Indonesian. That's the benefits of being a Malaysian! Also, RIP Uncle Tat.

In Cantonese, it actually means their skills are such amazing as chopping with Heaven Sword or the Dragon Saber😂
The naming idea comes from a famous Hong Kong novel called ’Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber’, and they are the unrivalled weapons in the plot

When he say "There no kung fu out there that can defeat Asian mum slipper" I died laughing

The idea of someone mastering Kung Fu so much that they become magical is already a fun Chinese movie trope (like the flying) but it's even better when it's applied to food and cooking! I love her panic at the idea of never being able to get that dish as good as that ever again.

I love how old movies like this that portray kung fu as both martial arts and magic, pretty much real life shounen manga, always a blast to watch

As a HongKongese, I would like Uncle Roger explain more about the unique way of Stephen Chow used to cook rice. It is called “Bo Jai Fan”煲仔飯. Literally means rice cooked in small pot. The pot is typically made by clay and cooked with charcoal fire. The finished rice will have a very specific aroma and a burnt crust in the bottom , which considerably the best part of the rice. They usually served with assorted meat of your choice on top, so the fat and aroma will zip down to the rice. Don’t ask for a vegan dish please coz we Hong Kong people also allergic to vegan. So weak…. If you want to get this Bo Jai Fan dish in Hong Kong, just visit Temple Street in Yau Ma Tei area, easily accessible by tube. And you will found in between all those prostitution and brothel, there are also quite some shop selling Bo Jai Fan with other seafood dishes.

"They don't make movies like this anymore."
So true. Movies nowadays focus on how to make it look good and no longer on the fun of it.

Oh. My. God. I've been looking for this movie since 1997! I remember seeing it with my grandmother on our flight to China but never found out the name of the movie and had almost started to believe it was some wonderful fever dream or something 😂
Thank you!

This movie needs more recognition. I loved it way back. Still love it now. :D

I only accept movie recommendations from Uncle Roger from now on. He clearly knows what he's talking about.

This is one of my favourite Stephen Chow movies. It's nice to see this movie getting the love and attention it deserves. Thank you!

I love the fact that everyone seems to be having a blast filming this. The actors seem they are trying not to burst out laughing in half the shots.

That moment when Uncle Roger calls Stephen Chow "Nephew".
The audacity 😂😂😂😂

i remember watching this with my grandpa, this weejio is so nostalgic man

3:13 I like how you casually passed over “dog-beating sautéing” 😂

i actually learned about many of these ingredients long ago, thanks to "The Pleasures of Chinese Cooking by Grace Zia Chu" which is a book from 1979. It mentions shark fin, fish maw, abalone, sea cucumber, Jinhua ham (spelled as King Hwa ham in the book which has a counterpart in "Smithfield Ham" apparently and thus Smithfield ham was recommended as a substitute - both seem to be variants of Prosciutto de Parma).

Best thing about uncle Roger's videos is that they teach you Asian techniques while also providing entertainment 👍

"Technically Jamie Oliver food can be called "Buddha Jumping Wall" also just in the opposite direction, He jumps over to get away from food" LMAO that part got me man. Uncle Roger never fails to make hilarious jokes about Jamie Oliver

AT 7:28 Uncle Roger claimed that increasing the fire power would only boil the water to 100 degree and could not make the cooking faster. But from the standpoint of heat exchange between the pot and the boiling water, it still needed more heat to boil water faster. Secondly, in the beginning when the food inside the pot is still in room temperature, you still need to provide a lot of heat to cook it. So more heat the faster for the whole pot to be in same temperature with boiling water.
After achieving equilibrium, Roger's suggestion is true.

You know he's the god of cooking when he can cook minute rice in under 30 seconds

That film looks amazing, I'm laughing uncontrollably 😂...Thank you Uncle Roger 🙏

It’s MUCH funnier in Cantonese than what the English subtitles wrote

your comedic timing is impeccable
"Good country good country"
I was ROFL 😂😂😂😂
Uncle Roger I'm your fan from India 🇮🇳
pls make a video on "village cooking channel"🥺

As an Indonesian, Stephon Chow's movies were childhood memories. This particular dishes is so mouth watering, it's the most unforgettable moment in the movie.

The guy that got hit by the knife was the best side kick ever! He was in almost every Stephen Chow's movies. RIP.

Stephen Chow, who also made Shaolin Soccer and possibly more well known, Kung-Fu Hustle, is an amazing director and does most of his own stunts iirc. Amazing work to both of you!

Hearing one of the ingredients was shark fin, reminded me of how much I miss shark fin soup. It's illegal in the US now, for understandable reasons, but if you can overlook the moral dilemma happening in your brain, it's sooo good.

Uncle Roger reacting to God of Cookery is twice hilarious as the movie, I remember laughing so much when I first seen the movie

I gotta watch this now! I love shows, movies, and anything else about food. Netflix does a good job: Midnight Diner, Kantaro the Sweet Tooth Salaryman, Gourmet Samurai, the Makanai, and 7:48 Way of the Househusband.

Kung fu hustle is so popular, and Shaolin soccer was most peoples first exposure before that. Between this and king of comedy, people don’t realize how funny and endearing Steven Chow can be. Good job, Uncle Roger!

It feels like we're watching the movie with Uncle Roger. Stephen Chow's shows are hilarious!!

Uncle Roger is now my chemistry teacher

It would be funny to see Uncle Roger react to all of Kung Fu Panda’s cooking scene from 1-3

A little bit more, Uncle Roger will have 8M subscribers! Let's go!!!!!!

Yes!!! I first discovered Stephen Chow over 20 years ago when his buddy cop film "Curry & Pepper" aired on Australian TV... God of Cookery is so good 😅

I miss Uncle Tat. Also, folding chairs make such a great self defense weapon. I remember seeing a news report where a shopkeeper stopped a robbery by smacking the perp with an identical chair. They even showed the scene from the movie as reference!

Almost 8 million subscribers, congrats, Uncle Roger 🎊 🎉❤

I saw this movie shortly after Shaolin Soccer came out, and loved it. It's so weird and funny, Chow's humor is great.

Stephen Chow in the 90s is my favorite! But even movies where he wasn't being ridiculous were good too. All's Well, Ends Well is my favorite Chinese movie! Cast is 💯!!! RIP Leslie Cheung.

My favorite food movie actually is not a food themed movie. It's Eat...Drink...Man...Woman by Ang Lee. Oh God, the opening scene where the Dad makes a feast for his daughters is just ahhh...chef's kiss!!!

OMG I remember watching this movie as a kid!!! I LOVED THE SCENES!!! EVEN THE MONKEY BRAIN part ahhahahah.... and the cook-offs were EPIC!!!

4:12 that laugh 😂😂

This movie used to have an English dub on Netflix
It has since become removed and is now lost media that doesn't exist on any platform or media form ,
Maybe if everyone reached out to nigel about the movie he could possibly get some momentum in getting that version brought back so everyone could once again enjoy it.
It was quite the comical masterpiece that is sadly gone to time
Rip god of cookery english dub you are missed.

I love how they went from supreme cooking to half murdering eachother

Uncle Roger, my husband has the same last name as you. Interestingly, he possesses similar characteristics to the persona you portrays. It seems like my husband is a natural Uncle Roger without even trying! It would indeed be an enjoyable experience to witness a meeting between the two of you. I can imagine the chemistry sparks when two Uncle Rogers come together.😂

Uncle Roger I’m watching God of Cookery because of you. I’m cracking up from the moment it started😂😂😂 Thank you! And I loved your review as always.

So fun! I want to watch more movies with Uncle Roger 😊

FINALLY, ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES OF ALL TIME GAINING RECOGNITION.
Tnx Uncle Roger, most of the Western world have not yet heard of this masterpiece.

This is SUCH a good movie. Uncle Roger has excellent taste.

Even Stephen Chow isn't immune to being roasted by Uncle Roger😂

Stephen Chow movies got its own comedic style. No one make movie like him anymore. Illogical and genuinely funny

Childhood favorite movie here! Scene with the shrimp balls is an absolute classic! 😂

We need more Jammy Olive-Oil videos. Also, these reviews are too good 😂

I'm glad we're getting more Cantonese movie recognition. They really are a force to be reckoned with compared to movies of this period

this is amazing. why the hell are we not getting more god of cookery movies??

It’s nice to see Uncle Roger review Stephen Chow movies! Laughed so hard! 😂

“Technically Jamie Oliver’s food can be called Buddha Jumping Wall, just jumping opposite direction” I fucking lost it LMAO

Oh man!!! I never comment but I just LOVE the god of cookery. What a treat this is!! Thanks uncle Roger!!! This movie needed more attention!!!!!

That beating is so Stephen Chow! One of my favorite movie makers of all time! Thank you, Uncle Roger! 🙏❤️😋

4:39 When Uncle Roger said that "They don't make movie like this anymore."
I can say that sad but true, we are living modernity.

Nice! Glad to see this movie get more love, thank you for giving it some good exposure! Hopefully more people watch it now

English translation of the food“ 佛跳牆” is Buddha jumping over the wall, but indeed, in the context of Chinese culture, the word "Buddha” (佛） of the food" Buddha jumping over the wall" not really refer to Buddha himself , but refer to a monk. Because sometimes a single Chinese word can have different meanings in different context. So the correct translation shall be Monk jumping over the wall. Anyway, as Hong Kong people, I am really happy as you like that film😊

I remember bing watching Stephen chow when I lived in Dalian. The best Stephen chow movies are where they used the high pitched voicer over. This is what made him so popular and funny in the beginning. All time best comedian. Hours of uncontrollably laughter and pain all over my body.

2:43 funny how he's roasting Nick but still calling him UNCLE Nick 😂

Congratulations Uncle Roger for 8 million!

I know why this guy won with a simple dish. He used just the right amount of MSG when noone was looking ;)

Ahhhh a true Stephen Chow classic. I actually had the opportunity to try fotiaoqiang a few times in my life. Pretty good. I dunno if it's enough for ppl to jump over walls, but the deep flavor is really great. Too bad they never allowed 2nd helpings tho'
(ps) the judge in this movie, is the same actress who played the landlady "Xiaolongnu" in Kung Fu Hustle !!

Lmao 🤣 my friend I always LOVE your comedy.. I have been watching you since you did the cartoon skits lmao 🤣

Ommgg yesss!!! I love this movie sooo much! I keep rewatching it and still never ger bored. One of the best ones 👍

as a hongkonger I am so happy Uncle Roger put the exchange rate of hkd in video

I remember watching this as a child. Such a banger

Uncle Roger seemed so genuinely happy in this video and it melted my heart.

I like this movie, despite the ridiculous comedy moments, one of Stephen Chow's truly magnificent films

You just need 60 years of internal energy to do that Uncle Roger 😂

We do have chinese porcelain jar in our home. I never knew that that jar is for double boiling cooking. I might use it often to cook pho broth in there but first let me transfer my ancestor's ash to an empty cannister... 🤣🤣

It is one of our family's favorite movies from Stephen Chow. My wife and I saw it in the cinema and we have watched again and again dozens time at home. About 20 years ago, there was a news about Jim Carrey was thinking about adapting it but it ended up nothing happening. Too bad!

Stephen chow comedy films were ahead of its time. Its literally the memes we do now today, back then most people didnt get it too quick, i definitely enjoyed most of his films when i was kid.

It might sound crazy but Uncle Roger finally ended up my 6 year journey of finding this movie. Finally, I can rewatch the movie. Thanks Uncle Roger.

I look forward to seeing more food related movie reviews!!!!

Bravo Uncle Roger, bravo!!! And encore please!! Watching a chinese movie with you is soooo much fun! Hahaha! When I was a child I used to love the Mr Boo series! This film reminded me a little of that, but more OTT. Keep doing the good work!

Buddha Jumping Over Wall (佛跳牆) is one of my all time favorite Chinese dishes. I remember my parents ordering it at every expensive Chinese restaurant in San Gabriel, California. Great fond memories.

Start cooking without vegetables if you dislike them even without the great “garlic” 😂

This is my no. 1 Stephen Chow movie too!!!!❤ No. 2 is Hail the Judge😅

I saw this movie years ago having little context about this type of film. When they ate the meatballs and started gushing gallons of liquid from their mouths, I was a little shocked. My wife never looked at me the same again.

I love this movie its so over the top its very enjoyable and is uncle Roger approved

This movie looks mental! Love how the good guy starts going to town on the bad guy with the chair XD. My favourite cooking movie is Tampopo (1985). It's all about ramen. Great film.

3:44 genuine laugh, this movie is a gem and hilarious.

So after being a famous footballer and mastering the Buddha Palm technique, he went to become the greatest cook in all of China. 😂

Actually you can easily heat water to well over 100 degrees using pressure at the top of mount Everest where there is lower pressure water boils at only 68 degrees but at sea level it boils at around 100 degrees so if you increase the pressure even more it could boil at an even hotter temperature.

Steven chow perfected his signature style of filmmaking (over the top action sequences with comedy both showcasing and making fun of kung fu movies ) with this movie . Both Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle came after this movie . Thanks to Uncle Roger this forgotten masterpiece is going to get a resurgence in popularity . 😊

Man, when I saw the title, I clicked so freaking fast. God of Cookery is one of my favorite movies. It's so perfectly bizarre. And you have to admire the glorious chair techniques of the Bronze Men,

The “sorry children” has taken over now in my life😂😂😂 best thing ever

Me understanding the language that they’re saying I can agree that it is funny 😂
