BlueDragon1981 Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 Has anyone seen Kung Fu Hustle or Shoalin Soccer? If so what did you think?
dippedappe Posted August 25, 2005 Posted August 25, 2005 I have seen Shaolin Soccer plus clips of Kung Fu Hustle. It's like going back to the start of the Chinese film industry. These films are exactly the same as they were thirty years ago. It's the same boring humor, the same unrealistic fighting, and the same unprofessional acting.I'm exaggerating of cause, but it's definitely not far from the truth.If you like to go to the circus and look at clowns, you will see the same thing only with unrealistic Martial Arts.I don't like Shaolin Soccer, and I don't like clowns.
White Warlock Posted August 25, 2005 Posted August 25, 2005 Kung Fu Hustle is a parody. I don't know anything about Shaolin Soccer, but it sounds like a parody as well. "When you are able to take the keys from my hand, you will be ready to drive." - Shaolin DMV TestIntro
kzshin Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 I like Shiao Lin Soccer better, but that just my opinion. by the way, I heard they are filming Kung Fu hustle two
isshinryu5toforever Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 Shaolin Soccer is kinda funny. I liked Kung Fu Hustle. The action was pretty good, of course over the top, it's supposed to be, because yes it is a parody. The biggest thing that most of us are missing is the way that Stephen Chow scripts the language. The Cantonese he uses is used in a sarcastic manner, but you have to speak Cantonese to get that. It's kind of like us using slang, he does the same thing. He who knows others is wise.

Goju_boi Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 kung fu hustle was good for entertainment,but not for portaying realistic martial arts,although they had real practitioners. https://www.samuraimartialsports.com for your source of Karate,Kobudo,Aikido,And Kung-Fu
Sengra Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 Kungfu hustle was good, and shoalin soccer did portray old but effective concepts, such as using the principles of martial arts in everyday life...only my opinion though...^_^ The stronger swordsman does not always win.

choppingfiend Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 His name is Stephen Chow, and yes, he's in the movie as well as playing the character of Sing.
orion82698 Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 I saw it. I must admit, it had it's moments, and it wasn't that bad of a movie for poking fun. I'd buy it I don't have to be the best, just better than you!Working towards 11% BF and a Six pack
