Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
Fantastic!
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Kung Fu Hustle is a movie about Kung Fu masters facing one another, protecting one another, and battling the Axe Gang. I have never heard of this movie and I was told to watch it for my final for my Perspectives class and I truly did not have high hopes for this movie, but I was wrong! This movie was absolutely great and I enjoyed watching it so much. It was such a good mix of feelings for the viewer as well. You felt sad at some points, you felt happy in others, and the rest of it was just plain exciting. I can not tell you how much I laughed during this movie and I was watching it with my mother as well, she thought it was weird but she laughed multiple times. The movie also has an interesting mixture of time periods and mixing of different cultures. It was sort of like a western film, mixed with roaring 20's, mixed with old school gangs and mafias like in "The Godfather", mixed with a goofy Stephen Chow movie. I thought the story line was goofy, yet exciting and I would totally recommend this to anyone who wants to watch a goofy Chinese Kung Fu movie. I honestly wish there was a remake of this movie!
Kung Fu Hustle (2004): Dir: Stephen Chow / Cast: Stephen Chow, Danny Chan, Yuen Wah, Yuen Qiu, Bruce Leung: Absolutely hilarious martial arts comedy written, directed and starring Stephen Chow. The Axe Gang is the most feared gang in the country and they take aim at the peaceful Pig Sty Alley but are surprised when their peaceful target is skilled in martial arts. Amusing setup travels from one fight scene to the next with a rather merciful conclusion. What really shines are the exquisite visual elements and the humour propelled by the cast. Chow plays Sing who wishes to join the Axe Gang but he is ordered to commit a murder to do so. He reflects upon younger days when standing up for a young girl resulted in his ass getting kicked. He is a wimp with a good heart and Chow plays him to perfect comic pitch. Other characters include the Beast who looks nothing like one. Danny Chan plays the ruthless Axe Gang leader who tests Chow and eventually misuses his control to dire consequences. A landlady, played by Yuen Qiu possesses the "lion's roar" and becomes a force to be reckoned with. Yuen Wah plays the landlady's drunken husband with powers of his own. Bruce Leung plays the Beast whose transformation is both nasty and funny. Great mix of martial arts and humour that takes jabs at martial arts films that destroys the law of gravity. Score: 9 / 10
I just don't understand the fuss. I grew up on martial arts films. So i know a good one when i see one. I don't know, maybe i was spoilt as a kid by having the benefit of the three dragons making movies to a niche market in an era when word of mouth and not social media drove cinematic entertainment. I had to turn this off after 20 minutes. It doesn't compare with anything from the 70's up to todays films like IP man. The humour's(if you can call it that with a serious face) derived from racist stereotypes If you love Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, the three dragons or any half decent Chinese kung fu movies going back to late 70's give this a miss. Even the 'out there' Chinese vampire movies are better than this nonsense. Its poor. I'm putting Operation condor or project a on, i need therapy after subjecting myself to that :(
The city is ruled by the violent Axe Gang led by the sadistic Brother Sum. Only poverty stricken slums like Pig Sty Alley escape their notice. The place is run by bossy couple landlords. Sing and Bone come into the neighborhood pretending to be part of the Axe Gang. Bone is asleep and Sing is a weakling who can't threaten a child. The real Axe Gang happens to be walking by and it's an all out fight. However, it turns out that there are actually kung fu masters among the poor.Stephen Chow directs, writes, and stars in this slapstick comedy. It's wacky, stupid, and hilarious. It's a fun use of CGI. It's a simple rogue finding redemption story wallowing in the silliness of the kung fu genre. This is about the silly humor and kung fu action. I love the silly broad humor. I like the wild kung fu action but there may be a little too much of it. After a visually imaginative and engaging opening, it loses a bit of steam but it always picks up whenever it goes back to the Alley. I wish this movie spends all of its time with the weird cast of characters in the Alley.
