A brilliant movie!!

Forget seeing that remake of the grade "B" Regan era TV show you watched when you were 10... Buy/rent the DVD of Kung Fu Hustle instead!!!
I'm going to get it tomorrow and enjoy maybe the most funny movie I have EVER seen! (Unless the company releasing it here in North America decides to screw around with it & totally messes it up... A nasty habit some of the larger entertainment companies can't seem to break - especially with foreign films.)


To anyone who didn't see it in it's initial release earlier this year, a couple of important notes:

#1. The movie is totally weird! But I mean that as a compliment. It's like nothing you've ever seen before!

#2. It's in Mandarin Chinese with English subitles (don't worry, it doesn't make the movie less enjoyable; And the DVD will probably have an English dubbed track.)

#3. While not absolutely necessary, it helps to get some of the more subtle jokes if you understand some of the clichés of kung fu films.


and #4. Believe it or not, the Land Lady (actress, Yuen Qiu) was once a Bond Girl!! From what I've read, she was in, "The Man with the Golden Gun."

(And since I'm out of a job now, it will be my last 'extravagant' purchase for a long... long... while.)

Bond Girl!! From what I've read, she was in, "The Man with the Golden Gun."

Even more, both the Landlord guy and the Beast are also famous old school kung fu guys. They were both Bruce Lee clones in their younger days and even did stunt/body double work in a few of his films. The Beast guy. played by Leung Siu Lung, was once a part of an elite trio hailed by HK fans as Three Little Dragons which includes Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee. I haven't seen his old stuff but he must have been good to be up there with Bruce and Jackie.

Even if the stuff they did in this film is mostly wire-fu & CGI, they still looked like they were enjoying themselves.
