battousai16 Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 well, i saw it yesterday. it wasn't worth the price of admission, but i don't regret the hour and a half i spent on it, so that's always something. i'd say it's worth checking out. shaolin soccer is mentioned a bunch cuz it was made by the same guy, and it's the same basic style of humor.

Skeptic 2004 Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 It's cheesy, but the entertainment value is very high. I'd recommend giving it a go. Do you know who Chosin Chibana is...?The Chibana Project:http://chibanaproject.blogspot.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Blast Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 I enjoyed Shaolin Soccer more.Kung Fu Hustle seemed to be less comedic and more on the action.It was a enjoyable movie.Stephen Chow is a great director. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce WillPete7 Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Im pretty sure most of us see Steven Chow's, Kung Fu Hustle more then just a slap stick kung fu comedy. For those who do not, i would just like to say that it has a deeper meaning in many ways. The following link has a review of the movie and some of the symbolism that go with it http://www.hollywoodjesus.com/comments/matthill/2005/05/kung-fu-hustle.html (BEWARE THIS REVIEW IS ONLY FOR THOSE WHO HAVE SEEN IT) (*cough SPOILERS) please read over this and tell me what you think, i will try to back it up as much as i can, but i just want to clear up the fact that its not just a shallow comedic kung fu movie produced for pure entertainment. It has deeper meanings, and is made the way it is to not only entertain but to enlighten. Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless like water. When you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup; when you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle; when you put water into a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow- or it can crash. Be water my friend. ~Bruce Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siufeifei Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Hate to bring up an old-ish thread but I just want to add that a lot of the very subtle humour is going to be missed unless you know a lot about chinese kung fu cinema/televion history and the stories, novels and legends from which they came from.Personally, it was better than I thought it would've been and a far better piece of film-making than his earlier films.Is this also a good time to mention that Stephen Chow once studied Wing Chun? ohayo gozaimasu, o genki desu ka.

Bleeding Lion Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 kung fu hustle was mad funny! We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence thus, is not an act, but a habit. --- Aristotle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce WillPete7 Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Siufeifei i want to say darn your search bar!! Nice little trick there, and yes i agree with what you had to say. The axe gang some say is based off the Matrix with the many smiths but ive seen a similar seen in Jackie Chan's Drunken Master. Of course the signiture Bruce Lee knuckle crack nose flick.
