He is famous for a brand of humour called " mo lei tau " (無厘頭), which approximately means "nonsense" or "no brained".

His movies often portray an underachiever ( All of a Winner (賭聖), Fight Back to School , From China With Love (國產零零漆) and The God of Cookery (食神)). He also uses contemporary humour in a period setting ( Flirting Scholar (唐伯虎點秋香); Justice, My Foot (審死官)).

He makes frequent use of euphemism and double entendres in the Cantonese language, and thus his films may be less enjoyable to a non-Cantonese speaker.
