You must watch Kung Fu Hustle.

What a great movie that was!

I may even buy the DVD. And I don't buy many DVDs.

1. Love that movie, and I have the DVD. Love the childhood flashback scene

of why the 'hero' decided to be a bad guy. And I like how that gets turned around at the end. Lots of fun.

Best scene in the movie though is the fight with the zither playing assassins. Very creative.

4. That scene rocks

A couple of times I've put the D.V.D to watch that specific scene . . . at times with some movies I just get a craving to watch a particular part of the movie and I'll put the D.V.D in just for that. Lately it's been that scene.


All around fun film.

2. I LOVED that movie !!

:loveya: :rofl: :loveya: :rofl:

I haven't been so completely entertained by a flick in a very long time.

The effects were cool, the martial arts were amazing, and the moral of the story was pretty groovy too.

3. Awesome Movie

didn't think I would like it. Ended up loving it.

5. GREAT movie.

Bursting with creativity. A ton of fun. And Qui Yuen, a former Bond girl who played the Landlady, should get an Oscar nomination.

:thumbsup:

7. If I read the awards page on IMDB correctly

She did get nominated at the hong Kong awards (or whatever their names are. . sorry I don't remember) but didn't win.)

The man (Whose name escapes me grr) who played the landlord won for best supporting actor. . .

But I wouldn't mind seeing her with a nomination for our Academy Awards.

6. Heartily endorsed. Enjoyed it recently at a local beer theater.

10. Fun movie, though the English translations aren't always great

I think the beginning, when the gang comes up, they call him "northerner" when it really should be translated as "bumpkin" or "peasant", which is a fairly serious insult in China (unlike a bumpkin in the US that implies a sort of naive innocence)

Also, they translate "landlady" is more accurately something like "Fat pig mother", but my wife wouldn't give me a fully accurate translation, as I guess it also contains an obscenity.

A few others, but i can't recall them since it's been a while since I saw the movie. I remember the first one, because I picked it out.
