Kung Fu Hustle

[Sangan]

Who's seen it? That's a goooood movie!

[Reidar]

I saw it. I need no condolences. I knew it would suck going in, so I simply got what I asked for. The important thing is to learn from the experience, Sangan. Remember, pain is just weakness leaving the body. There's no need to be so hard on yourself, really.

[Sangan]

hahahah! You're always on aren't ya?

[Reidar]

No. This is the answering machine.

Stephen Chow is severely overrated. I'm not Chinese, and I don't get most of the cheesy humor. My aunt is Chinese and doesn't get most of the cheesy humor. Two of my half-chinese cousins have spent a year in China and don't get the cheesy humor.

I guess it's a communist thing.

...............And I just realized this forum hates Stephen Chow. fyantastic........

Communist? but he's from Hong Kong isn't he?

Anyway, I actually liked Kung Fu hustle and have checked out some of his other flicks as well (From Beijing with Love, Shaolin Soccer) and I thought they were good in a dumb way. A lot of the references do have to be explained to me though as the play on words are usually lost in translation.

[The Million Dollar Prons]

Hong Kong has it's share of communists, I think.

Steven Chow is great. Stop the frontage.

[{NG}Fidel]

I liked Kung Fu Hustle gave me a couple good laughs.

[VidelCoolGirl]

There were some parts that were cool. Fearless is better. I'd do Li any day.

[minmae]

I saw the beginning; some parts were funny.

[LOSTyears]

It was alright. I liked Shaolin Soccer more though :thumbsup:

[CrossboneGundam]

I'm glad someone mentioned Fearless. I thought it was bad. Jet Li's character was totally unsympathetic, not remotely likable. The logic behind his actions was questionable at best, plus the whole blind girl thing was a massive cliche. The fights were pretty good, at least.

Jet Li was better in Hero, to me.

[Nami]

It's relative funny, I watch it in raw and read more detail in wikipedia so I can't comment on the story. ^^; I like how it's end though, from the part when Stephen Chow dress in white to the ending when he selling candy instead. The beggar scene offering the kungfu manual always crack me up. XD

[GreatNekoKoneko]

...watch OLDBOY instead. Kung Fu Hustle is for commercial audiences.

[Gannon]

I thought it was okay. But then again, I liked Jackie Chan's, "Gorgeous", so take that with a grain of salt.

[tenshi_a]

Kung Fu Hustle is one of the funniest films I've ever seen. Uses special effects in the best way, too. And on the R3 DVD of it that I own, the stylised pic of Stephen Chow on the box looks just like my brother so I can tease him about it. ^_^

I love that film.

...maybe the R3 version had better subs or something? Or having my Chinese family over and explaining when they switch from Cantonese to Mandarin and such helped...?

[Rurouni Saiyan]

Kung Fu Hustle was a great film.

[Solid_Snake]

...............And I just realized this forum hates Stephen Chow. fyantastic........

No. Only the whiny nerds who don't like anybody making humor out of martial arts. HOW DARE DEY!!!

I loved Shiolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle.

[Mazinkaiser]

I liked it quite a lot, though not quite as much as I liked Shaolin Soccer. Still a good movie though.

[Kevin]

Shaolin Soccer was the better movie, by far. The romance wasn't over done, the action was awesome, and amazingly enough, the special effects were incredible. Also, watch God of Cookery.

[Bernard_Monsha]

God of Cookery was awsome. The best of these type of movies is Drunken Wu Tang, that is because of the watermelon monster.

[Kevin]

It is in fact a cult classic, long live the Watermelon Monster!:

[Anamin]

I liked it. I actually laughed my butt off in the theatre. *shrug* It's just my type of humor.

[Nano]

I really liked it, though some bits were cheesy. Good film though.

[Reidar]

How did you deduce that? The Story of Ricky is a masterpiece to me.

[Rain]

Kung Fu Hustle was stupid—well, more like stupidly funny—but I still enjoyed it for what it was.

[Ikari Warrior]

I loved Kung Fu Hustle. I own the DVD, and it's simply spectacular. Apparently, I don't have access to the wide array of martial arts movies some of y'all had, but that movie was great.

[Sangan]

Finally some positive comments, I joined this forum last night at like 10 or 11pm,
and The only people that were on were the arses.

[The Million Dollar Prons]

We areses are online all the time! Except I really dug the movie. =)

[Sangan]

Not YOU, it's mostly Reidar and that crossboneGundam guy. I've seen those kind of people on ocassions on other forums.

[Reidar]

No, you haven't. There is only one Reidar.

[Sangan]

Ok, you're SIMILAR to others Ive dealt with.

Maybe if you cry long and hard enough, everyone in the world will magically transform into a copy of you and then you'll never have to worry about different opinions or viewpoints ever again. :)

You are not "dealing" with me in any manner, so no, I am not.

...exactly my point..."Sangan"...

nice name.

[CrossboneGundam]

Says the guy who posts a thread about a movie on an internet forum and is angered when less than 100% of the posts are a rephrase of his own opinion. :naughty:

[Sangan]

Oh! A challenge! ..............WELL!.....meh,..why bother....

IN BEFORE THE CLOSE!!!!

Anywho, the movie was alright. I enjoyed Stephen Chow's other movie, Shaolin Soccer, more though.

[tenshi_a]

What; Stephen Chow has only done one other movie now?

I don't suppose anyone else here has seen "Royal Tramp"? It's 1000 times cheaper, 1000 times stupider and it's the only martial arts film I've ever seen that contains pickled penises... :huh:

[Haro!]

I think I saw "Royal Tramp" back in my Cantonese phase back in the early 00's

[Panko Z]

It was alright. I liked Shaolin Soccer more though :thumbsup:
same for me. special fx-wise, KFH was better but i was more entertained by SS.

[Jatz]

Kung Fu Hustle is OK. I liked the fight the musicians and the tenants. Chapter 17 on the R1 disc I think.

[Animexcel]

The musician fight was pretty cool.

[Hara!]

If it were up to me, Stephen Chow would be the only man in China allowed to make movies.

YES. CHOW FANS UNITE!
