 Greatest comedic genius since Charlie Chaplin, but skip Blu-ray's bad English dubing November 13, 2008
This wonderful comedy in Blu-ray features bad English dubing with poor voices, and they actually had the nerve to change many funny lines to dumb it down for us. It's best to watch it in Cantonese with English subtitles, it's then pure genius. I only wish Charlie were here to see it.
 The hatchet Tong gets wisdom kung fu style? October 25, 2008
The bad guys are really bad, and the good guys are
funny old guys? This makes for drunken kung fu master types
of humor with deadly consequences for the unsuspecting
hatchet killers? We find an army in black with suits, hatchets, guns and top hats
against a dock worker type, a cook and tinker?
Typical of a gang, the leader takes it out on his own men for failing?
If you like martial arts and the language of subtitles doesn't bother you this is a pure fun movie.

ONE OF THE FUNNIEST ACTION MOVIES OF ALL TIME!!! October 9, 2008
Stephen Chow outdid himself in "Kung Fu Hustle", a movie he wrote, directed and stars in. The humor is slapstick and off the wall, reminiscent of Road Runner vs. Wile E. Coyote in some scenes.
The plot is as follows: Chow and his chubby sidekick want to become members of the Axe Gang. The two commit a few petty crimes to prove they are worthy criminals. When they enter the tacky slum run by a chainsmoking landlady and her womanizing landlord husband and try to intimidate the slum dwellers, the real hilarity begins. The scenes with the knives and snakes are beyond funny! ("Hey! Who's throwing handles!" the landlady squawks.) The leader of the Axe Gang sends Chow on an assignment to release the most fierce criminal of all time. If Chow accomplishes this feat, he will be accepted into the gang. In the final scene, the "world's greatest criminal" and Chow face off and Chow's chi is ultimately realized.
Along the way, the viewer is introduced to a cast of interesting characters including the "coolie," the tailor, the noodles and congee maker, the buck-toothed siren, the gay hair-cutter, and the deaf/mute vending girl who has a special tie with Chow's character that he has forgotten, but she never has.
Kung Fu Hustle is an odd mixture of violence and comedy and it works. There are so many comedic surprises in this movie it's easy to watch it numerous times. I own it and it is one of my children and my all time favorites.
Beyond entertaining. September 19, 2008
This movie is fantastic. I could watch it once a week... maybe even more. The visuals, the story line (if you're a kung-fu enthusiast) the characters... everything is so fun.
