Kung Fu Hustle



Yes, another Steven Chow movie.

He's done better, that's for sure. But this was still enjoyable. Sure there were lots of parts that were just unrealistic and some parts were overly poor in acting, but that's the typical movie he makes. I can't say this was better than Shaolin Soccer, but man, it's pretty much got the same cast ;) That was pretty funny in itself!

The story line for this movie was a little weak. And the entire movie was a hybrid. There were traces of both Mandarin and Cantonese. Mainly because all the actors spoke in their native tongues. He's adapted a lot of special effects into his movie, and with this one, he's even copied a lot of stuff. You can picture yourself going "Hello, Mr Anderson" at one point.

And yes, it wouldn't be a Steven Chow movie without at least 1 gay person and 1 chick with really really big teeth!!!

What's it about? It's about a guy who once tried to be good, but found that good leads you no where so he tries to join the local gang. Where does the kung fu come in? Well, you'll have to watch and see ;)

    Some scenes were really out of place. But it's still funny to watch.

  • You know, after watching this movie like... 4 more times, it's grown on me.

    If you watch it, and you can't work out what the guy is trying to say before he dies... he's saying... in really bad english... "what... are you prepared... to... do!"
