He has developed a no-nonsense acting style by expressing the way his characters behave in conflicts through words and body movements that have no logical connection on the surface. The movie "The Saint of Gamblers" gave audiences their first taste of his imaginative comedic concepts; and "Westward Journey of the Great Lies" has made his acting style even more y rooted in people's hearts. Stephen Chow has never repeated himself, and his comedy style has gone through a process of transformation from exaggerated to introspective, from funny to warm and clear, and from body language performance to getting into the heart of the characters. He uses the narrative form of comedy to express tragic thematic meanings, which brings laughter to people and at the same time causes the audience to reflect. After transitioning to directing, his talents have been unleashed to a greater extent. From the dark humor in "Chinese Ling Ling Paint", to pouring his thoughts on life in "God of Food", to the use of special effects in "Shaolin Soccer", he has gone through a full range of polishing from film ideas to film techniques. From "Kung Fu" onwards, his directing style has not only become more mature, but also more and more adept at mixing different styles of movie elements together.

Chou is not only an introvert in real life, but also a low-profile person who doesn't care at all about the world's attitude toward him. Although he is not good at talking and is relatively unfamiliar with the outside world; he is also a person with a lot of inner emotions, just that they are not easy to express. He is a very attentive gentleman and is very good at taking care of people. (Shandong Business Daily, Tencent.com, Gao Qunshu, Liu Zhenwei, Deng Chao comments)
