Absolutely! This movie was hysterical, even if you have to read the whole thing in subtitles. It's sitting right next to Kung Pow on my DVD shelf.

Reply:eww no
Reply:Yeah i have seen it....... Its kinda stupid actially...The fights are funny in a not-funny way!!! It hangs somewhere between a spoof and a kung fu movie!! I dont know what the hell did Stephen Chow had i his mind when he made that movie!!
But the strange part is that i liked the movie somewhat!!!
I'm even planning to see it again!!!
Reply:Yeah. It starts out unnecessarily violent, but gets funnier as it goes along. From a martial arts point of view it is very silly.
Reply:yes funny movie
Reply:yeah that movie was hella funny , at first i thought about yawning but then once i got into it i thought it was funny

Is a sequel for Kung Fu Hustle in the works?
And, if so, what's the timeframe for theater release?
Is a sequel for Kung Fu Hustle in the works?
...the film is shooting, even as we speak; since it will probably play overseas, before it hits the U.S. shores, I wouldn't expect to see it, for about a year or so...
...check it out, below!!!
...to whet your appitite, until that fateful day arises, might I suggest you check out the "Kung Fu Mahjong" trilogy; it contains the same irreverant, wacky and screwball martial arts comedy as "...Hustle", and it also stars the same actor %26amp; actress, who played the wacky bully landlord, and her wuss of a husband, in "...Hustle"...
...and in case you haven't seen the film, director/actor Stephen Chow's previous film, before "...Hustle", was indeed "Shaolin Soccer"...
Reply:Awesome to see that there is!
A movie that's also directed by Stephen Chow that you might also enjoy in the meantime is Shaolin Soccer. It has the same sort of bizarre humor as Kung Fu Hustle so you might enjoy it. (Personally, I thought KFH was better, but still...)
Reply:I read about it somewhere, and yes it'll be in theaters before you know it

Give your Favorite part
To those who wacthed Kung-Fu Hustle?
Ya know I would LOVE to be that simple, unfortunately, that's not me, so:
My favorite comedic part is when Fat Woman is chasing Sing Looney Tunes style and she hits the billboard, I love how she just slides down really slow and the noise it makes! HAHAHAHAHAHA!
My favorite "instance" in the movie is when The Beast just non-chalantly takes the gun from the Ax member like it was nothing.
My favorite visual moment was when the sequence of Sing getting knocked in the sky by The Beast, accessing The Buddhist Palm, and flying back down.
My favorite WTF moment was EVERYTIME Brother Sum was on screen (dancing after the shotgun, laughing when the Ax member is in the trashcan, and getting his head knocked around by The Beast).
My favorite fighting of course was when Coolie, Tailor, and Donut, fought the Ax gang.
But my alltime favorite part, since you asked, haha, would be the whole sequence of when the Musical Assassins come to Pig Sty Alley.
The fighting, the comedy, the timing, the effects, the dialogue, EVERYTHING! It is one of my favorite sequences of all time!!!!!!!!
Great movie, great question!
God bless,
Kevin Lee
PS-If you haven't seen Shaolin Soccer, it is JUST as good!
Reply:i like where that fat guy was gona throw a knife at that fat yelling lady lol it that scene was hilarious
Reply:when the guy discovers his hidden powers and makes that big hand on th wall lol
Reply:Too hard to give just one favourite part. The movie was so good - although I thought the first half was a bit "slow".
The ending was such a good spoof of The Matrix.
Reply:I concur: the fat guy throwing the knives!

...oh, man!!! You just have to check out the "Kung Fu Mahjong" trilogy; it contains the same wacky, irreverent, slapstick and cartoonish martial arts-based comedy, as "Kung Fu Hustle", as well as the two actors, who played the bully landlord, and her wuss of a husband in "...Hustle", as well...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0397853/
Here's a summary/review:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0397853/plot...
It's a "mockumentary" about martial arts actor/stuntman Buford Lee (portrayed by James Lew). It lampoons a lot of martial arts cliches and the actors and directors. Some of it's rather sharp, but there are a lot of laughs that aren't harsh. There's not a lot of raunchiness, and one of the scenes had me laughing hysterically even though I shouldn't have. I never knew that Lorenzo Lamas could be so funny!
KUNG POW: ENTER THE FIST (2002)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0240468/
This has some very funny scenes and some sort of blah ones. You'll recognize "The Matrix" and many other moments in this Steve Oedekirk film that he wrote, directed and stars in. Yes! He's up there with the greats: Orson Welles and Ed Wood! Wait~Did he produce, too? I can't find that info.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
YEA! The person below mentions "Shaolin Soccer"! I watched "Kung Fu Hustle" and "SS" end to end about a month ago. I like the first best, but the second is a lot of fun, too.

I've seen it like almost 10 times because it's so funny to me and it's different but its okay. My favorite part is when the wife catches the husband peeping on the lady so when they get back home she beats him up and throws him out the window and the plant falls on his head.

Question About Kung Fu Hustle?
When I saw the movie I thought that Mr. Beast was Bolo Yueng. Bolo Yueng was in Enter The Dragon as well as countless other martial arts movies. They have the same facial features and fought almost identical and I was surprised that they were not the same person.
Did anyone else think Bolo was Mr. Beast?
Question About Kung Fu Hustle?
your not alone.
Yes mr beast does have an uncanny resemblance to Bolo Yeung..
I think bolo is gonna look like that when he gets old.
the name of the guy who played Mr. Beast is: Siu-Lung Leung. And he's a legend in HK films.

Why is Kung Fu Hustle rated R?
They say "F*ck" twice. PG-13 movies are only allowed 1 "F*ck", if you have two its bumped up to R Rating.

because it's a violence OR shows blood.

How many times do they use the the f-word and how violent is it.
Why is kung Fu Hustle Rated R?
There is no gore. I am not sure why it is rated R. Why was Titanic given a PG-13 rating and yet, the main actress was topless, posing nude as Leonardo DiCaprio sketched her image on paper? There is a scene where a guy gets beheaded and a cat gets sliced up, but all you see is their shadows on a wall. You see the shadow of the cat and the man getting cut up. There is no blood splattering. I don't remember the cuss words. It is Chinese and there are English subtitles at the bottom.
If you like these kind of movies, check out Iron Monkey. It is Chinese and it has action and humor, but no gory violence.
Reply:No f words that i know of, but some of the fighting is intence, and you see people shot, stabbed.
Reply:I dont remember any cussing and the violence is light comedy stuff. Dont know why its rated R, its just a comedy.

Kung fu hustle?
is there a rumble that breaks out in the beginning in a theatre?
Kung fu hustle?
The beginning ax fight dance number was tacked on, in order to make the title make sense. Otherwise there's no "hustle" in the movie and the original title and version have nothing to do with dancing. In other words, it was a last minute "hook" they added for the international audience.
Reply:in the beginning the axe gang was going to kill some guy and they did in a very funny way, like dancing ..slow motion etc
Reply:The movie starts out with the oppositions boss in a police station being released. Then the AX gang is waiting for him when he gets out in the street.

Kung Fu Hustle.. Most Underrated Movie Ever?
When I saw the previews for this movie, i didn't know what to make of it. The movie seemed to make no sense and it showed that basically it was a live version of Looney Tunes (they kept showing the Landlady running around)
When I saw the movie last night it was MUCH better than what I was expecting. It was very, very well done. The music, the comedy, the action, and the musical numbers were all perfect. Watching the movie I can see where and how the exaggerations of martial arts movies come into play.
I really recommend that you all watch this movie; but DO NOT listen to the English audio cause it sucks.
Kung Fu Hustle.. Most Underrated Movie Ever?
it's one of the most underrated kung fu movies, ever. the stunts are incredible and the film is very funny. i think that had this film been made and released during the mid 80s for example, then stephen chow would've been as big a star as jackie chan. his films although are often comical and humourous have at times been compared to some of jackie chan's earlier efforts. he was the 90s version of chan, in the same way that jet li was the 90s version of bruce lee. but of course, you cannot compare those two together as lee was a legend in his own right. i'd also recommend king of beggers, as well as shaolin soccer which you can buy on dvd via the hong kong legends website.
look out for kung fu hustle 2 in the cinema next year!
Reply:It was a GREAT movie. It reminded me of what the Coen Brothers would do if they did Chinese movies. My son and I loved it.
Reply:I loved that movie I thought it was really really good.
Reply:Personally, i thought it was amazing.
I've never seen so much variety in fighting styles in a kung fu movie. I thought i was watching a live action dragonball Z or ninja scroll at one point.
The only thing i didnt like about the movie was the ending, they made it out to look like they might make another, but i havent heard anything yet. I can only hope....
Reply:Good on ya mate. Subtitles w/original language is always the best. Also if you haven't already rent Shaolin Soccer. Same guys did this movie, also underrated.
Reply:I completely agree. I was hyped about this movie from the moment I saw it however, as I'm a fan of Stephen Chow and his works. If you liked Kung Fu Hustle you should also look into Shaolin Soccer. It's another funny martial arts movie with Stephen Chow.
Everyone who I've made watch this movie says they love it as well. I don't think it was very well promoted is all...
According to IMDB, Kung Fu Hustle 2 is supposed to come out in 2008.
Reply:Love that movie!
"What're you looking at? Never seen an ice cream thief before? Muahahahaha!"
Reply:For the kung-fu genre I think it is extremely underrated....and another film I like and think is underrated is "Snatch" with Brad Pitt and Jason Statham. It's a differant genre but it's really humorous and the film style is great. I especially like the character Bullet Tooth Tony.
Reply:I'm glad I agree with so many folks here. I caught this movie by happenstance on cable one day and was very impressed. The combination of over-the-top humor and fantastic kung-fu fights was awesome. I would highly recommend this movie.

More movies like Kung-Fu Hustle and Shaolin Soccer?
...although not as dynamic as "Shaolin Soccor" and "Kung Fu Hustle", but still just as funny and action-packed, you might try the recent "Kung Fu Mahjong" trilogy.
The films feature many of the same wacky character actors, as in "...Soccer" and "...Hustle", with the same riotous and outrageously screwball comedy results!!!

...although not as dynamic as "Shaolin Soccor" and "Kung Fu Hustle", but still just as funny and action-packed, you might try the recent "Kung Fu Mahjong" trilogy.
The films feature many of the same wacky character actors, as in "...Soccer" and "...Hustle", with the same riotous and outrageously screwball comedy results!!!
Check 'em out!!!.....

Is Kung Fu hustle Any good?
I liked it. I thought it was pretty funny. My family thought it was pretty entertaining (my 5yr old loves it). We went ahead and bought it and although I don't watch it frequently (like I do with my all time favs) we still enjoy it every once in awhile.

Reply:Kung Fu Hustle (Chinese: 功夫; pinyin: Gōngfu) is a martial arts film first released in Hong Kong in December 2004. It was released for general debut in the United States on April 22, 2005 after showing in Los Angeles and New York for two weeks. The North American version of its DVD was released on August 8, 2005.
Kung Fu Hustle is a humorous parody and mockery of the wuxia genre, played and directed by Stephen Chow. It contains most of the characteristics of a typical wuxia movie, with a lot of ridiculous exaggerations, serious situations and comic plots.
The use of visual effects have been widely acclaimed and the almost comic book style of the movie are its most striking features. It is in stark contrast to recent Kung Fu movies that have made an impact in the West, such as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Hero. Despite the computer-generated imagery and cartoonish scenes in the second half of the movie, the movie pays tribute to many famous Kung Fu film veterans from the 1970s who were all real martial artists in their own right. Many early fight scenes were packed with real Chinese martial arts.
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
The movie is set in a fictitious Chinese city around the 1930s. In many ways, the city resembles Shanghai in its architectural design and culture. The film was shot there, but the residents portrayed speak Cantonese, which is found in southern China's Canton Province. During this time, China has fallen victim to many gangs, but the most highly feared is the Axe Gang, the axe being their primary weapon. Even the police respect them, paying the gang to get rid of rival clans. The city that takes the main stage in the film is one controlled by the Axe Gang. Only the poor neighborhood of Pig Sty Alley is immune to them. Then on one calm day two homeless young men, Sing (Chow) and Bone, wander into the slum posed as members of the Axe Gang. Their goal of the day is to cheat money off of the barber, until the real Axe Gang shows up, and they are not happy. Finally, three of the villagers fight off the notorious gangsters. However, the gang start paying hired assassins to get rid of the Pig Sty residents, and Sing is trying everything to be a member of the gang. However, should he get the opportunity to become an Axe man, will he see the good side of life and become the true man he really is, which is a one-in-a-million natural-born kung fu genius?
Reply:its so funny
Reply:well, its in fact a great movie! if you haven't seen any of stephen chow's films before, then this is a good one to start with. you can also give shaolin soccer a wizz too. that's a fab film too. he's very popular in hong kong and relased a couple of films during the 90s back then. some see him as the successor to jackie chan and jet li, although he is in his 40s. the humour in his films is somewhat similar to jackie chan's comedy kung fu flicks
Reply:it's pretty good
Reply:It's an all right movie. I wouldn't say it was fantastic, but I would probably watch it if it came on. I think it's interesting how they switch from Chinese to English every once in a while.
Reply:it is a cheap production ! you better get Enter the dragon 1973 with Bruce Lee

Kung Fu Hustle character?
There is a character in Kung Fu Hustle who shows up once or twice, but apparently not long enough to be considered a character.
Her longest part I think was when she was arguing with the Land Lady after they were attacked by the Axe Gang, the Land Lady reffered to her as "Bucktooth Janet" or something like that, which was probably more than likely an insult.
So if anyone knows who I'm talking about and what her name is, please do tell.

Was Kung Fu Hustle a masterpiece?
I liked Kung Pow too but Kung Fu Hustle is hard to beat, IMO.
Was Kung Fu Hustle a masterpiece?
yeah it is. such a combination of comedy, mystery and love story of course .lol. you promise to pick me as the best answer you should keep it. lol
Reply:good! now answer my questions! Report It
Reply:YES! IT WAS PERFECTION!
Reply:No, it really wasn't
Reply:A very entertaining, unique, funny, and artsy movie
but not really a masterpiece.
It won many awards, but awards are not the only criteria to be called a "masterpiece".
This is my opinion though. It depends so much on the viewer.
It's one the year's best movies though! I will confidently say that!
I laughed through so many scenes!
Reply:Admittedly I love Kung Pow, even though it was not favorable by critics. Guess its my guity pleasure (Mmm ya Uncle Betty).
By no means I would consider Kung Fu Hustle a masterpiece. Since a masterpiece, would be almost flawless art form or near perfection. It was very funny in some parts!! Not putting down the movie, I believe it could have been much better.
