Summary:
Movie-kinetics genius. Kung Fu Hustle takes the gleeful mayhem of Hong Kong action movies, the deadpan physical humor of silent comedies, and the sheer elasticity of Wile E. Coyote cartoons and fuses them into a spectacle that is simple in its joys and mind-boggling in its orchestration. A run-down slum has been poor but peaceful until a bunch of black-suited gangsters called the Axe Gang show up to cause trouble--and discover that, hidden among the humble poor, are three kung fu masters trying to live an ordinary life. But after these martial artists repulse the gang with their flying fists and feet, the gang leader hires a pair of assassins, whose arrival leads to the unveiling of more secrets, until both the screen and the audience are dizzy with hyperbolic fight artistry (choreographed by Yuen Wo Ping, who also choreographed The Matrix). Weaving through this escalating fury is a loudmouthed loser (writer/director/actor Stephen Chow) who suddenly finds he having to live up to his bragging. Kung Fu Hustle more than lives up to the promise of Chow's previous film, Shaolin Soccer--it's a movie made by an imagination unfettered by the laws of physics.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!

Customer Rating:

I'm a big martial arts movie fan, and this just stunk. I don't know what all the hype is/was about. It is NOT funny. Not at all really. Kung Pow was a funny movie. This move is just really lame. Don't be fooled into buying it. Rent it on DVD and I'll bet my bottom dollar you won't want to watch it again. The only interesting scene was the fight scene with the musicians and the "ghostly" flying swords and knives. But one good scene, in the middle of a really bad movie, does little for me. A review from Entertainment Weekly says you'll be "... laughing all the way". Ya, right. Don't buy Entertainment Weekly either!

When you get headbutted by the toad style, you fly all the way upto the stratosphere and back.

Customer Rating:

(1) This one is a martial arts parody film co-written, co-produced, directed by and starring Stephen Chow.

(2) The plot centers around a poor Hong_kong semi-slum locality which defies surrendering to the opressive axe gang who are known for their looting and oppression.

(3) The Land Lord and land lady of this locality are superior kung-fu fighters which we come to know later on in the film

(4) Stephen Chow plays an axe-member wannabe. He wants to be part of the axe gang.

(5) There are 3 mind blowing action sequences in the film

(6) Setpiece 1: The axe gang come to intimidate and get the slum locality to bow down to them; Three of the dwellers in the locality happen to be super kung fu gurus; The three of them send the axe gang packing

(7) Setpiece2: Axe gang sends the world's 2nd best assasin team; 2 guys who by playing notes on a stringy-madarin kind of intrument,can summon and create swishing swords, arrows, axes all from thin air from the vibration of the musical notes and these weapon are flung onto the the 3 saviors of the slum locality. The assasins kill all three of the saviors.

(8) This brings the landlord and landlandy into the foray; The landlord can do superior kungfu and the landy apart from kung fu has a scream that shatters glass, stone, anything.

(9) The landlord/landlady team team up against the No 1 killer of all. He had been locked up in a cell, but is freed by the axe gang to kill the landlord/landady team after the musical killer assasin team fails to kill LL/LL team. This killer is No 1 because apart from being a kung fu master as everyone in this movie obviously is, he has the speciality of being so fast as to even catch a bullet with his fingers.

(10) Major setpiece 3: The LL/LL team fight their hearts out, and finally we get the stephen chow's matrix parody "the one" experience. There is the famous paraody of the matrix reloaded sequence where Keannu fights 100's of agent miths. Here we have 100 of axe gang members against stephen Chow who has had a change of heart and has turned against the axe gang.

(11) In this action setpiece we see the "crouching tiger, hidden dragon" physics defying fly-kicking spiderman gravity defying kungfu. We see the all new toad style, where the villain very much becomes a toad. We also see the farthest a human being travels (upto the stratosphere actually) when getting head butted via someone conversant with the toad style of kung fu. Incidentally Stephen chow goes so high up, he puts his feet on an eagle and becomes as light as the bird and floats around before zooming back in with friction burn like one of them spiralling down satellites before he just uses his palm of "the one" and makes a devastating handprint on the earth big enough to cover 5 men.

A novel and insane comic caper with great special effects. A movie which makes fun of the kungfu genre and at the same time hieghtens this surreal kung fu experience.

Incredibly entertaining

Customer Rating:

Kung Fu (or Kung Fu Hustle as I understand the title is open to debate) is a terrifically fun movie to watch. The comedy is not quite so prevalent as in Shaolin Soccer and there is a darker side to this movie with more violence, but it is so thoroughly engaging and entertaining that I could watch it over and over and over.
Stephen Chow brings the goods; the insane kung fu, the Looney Tunes moments, the hilarious characters, and the warm back story of Chow's character and his childhood introduction to a deaf mute girl, and wraps it up in this non-stop action packed darkly comedic delight.
How movies like this go unnoticed while tripe like Rush Hour gets made ad nauseum is a mystery to me, but if you enjoy this genre, you will love this movie. Highly recommended.

Kung Fu Hustle and Flow	Customer Rating:
It would be going out on a limb saying this one of the best movies ever made? Or at least the most unusual, mystical movies ever made. It has everything, action, comedy, drama, dance musical. It takes you into this bizarre world that is so surreal, sometimes dream sometimes nightmare. It climaxes into this unbelievable frenzy that leaves you bewildered and almost powerless to it's grip.

Funnier the first time.

Customer Rating:

When I saw this movie in the theatre, I laughed until my stomach hurt. The movie is so ingeniously conceived that there are hilarious surprises throughout. The action sequences, both the real ones and the animated ones, are fun to watch. As do many other Stephen Chow movies, this movie tells the bittersweet (yes, somewhat simplistic) story of a downtrodden person, managing to be entertaining along the way.

Since the laughs are mostly based on action and surprise, its entertainment value diminishes the second time you watch it. So, bottom line: you should rent this movie, watch it together with friends, and have a very pleasant movie night. Just do not watch it a second time.
