Kung Fu Hustle is coming!!
 

Did you see Kung Fu Hustle?

In the US, it's only out in New York and Los Angeles so far. It will open nationwide soon. The commercials look good.

I can't wait. I think it's gonna be great.

Any Kentucky Fried Movie fans in here?

HELL YEAH!!

Bring it on!

I saw an extended preview for it at Sin City. It looks like a funny flick, probably a rental tho.

What did Chinese audiences think of it?

Most Chinese media & fans think the movie is Chow's new best movie. Shaolin Soccer is a big failure.

Based soley on that last pic of the movie--I'd say I would like it.
And Kentucky Fried Movie was the GREATEST. Right up there with Holy Grail and Life of Brian! Now, Concentwate...

It's a Stephen Chow movie, so I'm sure I'll go see it. I am amazed that it's getting a US release, given that Miramax nearly had to be beaten with clubs to let Shaolin Soccer be seen anywhere in America, but I'm not complaining.

I loved Shaolin Soccer. I will see Kung Fu Hustle as soon as possible. It looks awesome. :thumb:

Check out Ong Bak.

man, I eat this stuff up. I couldn't begin to tell you why though...

Saw the movie last night. Although as Jaq says, there are surely some cultural differences here that we don't "get" -- it was well worth the price of admission. Very funny at times, very amazing at times, and an enjoyable tale. The landlady (the woman in the last picture above) is excellent!

I have to wonder if this Stephen Chow has ever seen any of the classic Looney Tunes animation, or whether the cartoonish violence is just something that is universal.

Hee. Just got back from it. What a trip. I loved all of the old fashioned film noir/cartoony music, and the style was great. Very funny.

I was literally in tears at one point (*rough quote* "Who threw this knife handle!?"). Hilarious. Lots of fun.
