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.
