"Mercury Man" certainly isn't typical; it's an acquired taste that uses often surreal camp to ease the action instead of comedic relief. Our hero's brother and sidekick is a post-op transsexual, and the explanation of Chan's mysterious amulet that takes over his body reverts to a poor computer animated cartoon, for some reason. Not to mention the attempted social commentary falls flat more often than not.
