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
