Kung Fu Hustle is coming!!

Did you see Kung Fu Hustle?

Happy Monkey · 04-13-2005, 10:04 PM

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?

BigV · 04-13-2005, 10:33 PM

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?

Billy · 04-14-2005, 10:20 PM

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.

Check out Ong Bak.

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

Undertoad · 04-24-2005, 12:57 PM

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.

Happy Monkey · 04-24-2005, 09:01 PM

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.

chainsaw · 04-25-2005, 10:48 AM

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