  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I totally loved this movie and Shaolin Soccor, both made by Steven Chow, the main character.

These movies are like a breath of fresh air in the movie business.
I have no doubt that these movies will be a heavy influence on movie making in the years to come.

what a fantastic film !!!!!!!


Yeah, who doesn't enjoy Middle Kingdom propaganda? :scratch: Although I will admit to liking it visually.

You do realize that film is about Jet Li herocially betraying his people to the Emperor don't you?

you probably didn't understand it.

But what's so hard to understand about Kung fu hustle? Maybe its just that not everyone likes wacky live-action-cartoon movies?

Yeah.

I just said that to that girl because she was berating a movie only because it was hard for her to "stay with it" so I just concluded that she didn't understand it... I mean, true, what is there to NOT understand? Its so straightforward with simplistic humor, I cant fathem anyone being nonplussed about this film... let alone thinking it was stupid or not funny. Hmmmm...

yes, Kung Fu Hustle came out in 2004 in HK, then was released in the States in 2005.

Having seen this and Shaolin Soccer with all of the cartoony action fun, there's a part of me that would like to see Steven Chow crank out a live action Dragon Ball Z movie. Since the Dragon Ball Z anime series gets a lot of its inspiration from HK comedy kung-fu films and Jackie Chan, Steven Chow could probably pull it off. :cool:

How old is this film? :scratch:

Anyway, I personally liked KFH much more than Shaolin Soccer. You should watch some older films of Stephen Chow; they're just as good, albeit, not so much distracting CGI, which makes them better in my opinion.

What older films?
He only made those two movies.
