Kung fu
A petty thief tries to insinuate himself into a fearsome city gang, inadvertently bringing about all-out warfare. Martial arts comedy from Hong Kong star and filmmaker Stephen Chow
Two years spent stuck on Miramax's shelves prevented Stephen Chow's brilliant Shaolin Soccer from scoring with Western audiences. With that chastening experience in mind, Kung Fu Hustle is rush released mere months after becoming Hong Kong's highest-grossing home-grown film ever. Perfect timing. Chow's joyful parody/homage to the Hong Kong action flicks he grew up with steals in on the boom of Asian martial arts movies like Ong-Bak and House Of Flying Daggers. But this is no hustle. Chow's unique comic gifts and filmmaking flair are the real thing.
