I enjoyed this film. I thought it was pretty funny.

 

[FallenAngel007]

I thought it was so stupid, but thats just my opinion. It was hard for me to stay to it. *shrugs* watev.

 

[EmmaTheGreat]

you probably didn't understand it.

 

[Zoomer]

I really liked it, one of my top twenty movies.

 

[SUNSTONE]

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.

Yeah, who doesn't enjoy Middle Kingdom propaganda? 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?

How old is this film?

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.

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...

I believe KFH came out 2004, correct?

 

[aaronibus62]

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.

What older films?
He only made those two movies.

Wow. The ignorance.
Check IMDb. He has released other films as actor, director or writer, or all three, that didn't go over to American audiences...
You're missing out!

EDIT: Even better, check out LoveHKfilm
