Product Description
Stephen Chow's follow-up to SHAOLIN SOCCER ups the over-the-top action quotient by about three zillion percent. The story is set in 1930s Hong Kong with Chow as a shaggy-haired would-be bad guy named Sing who gets caught up in the middle of a war between the top-hat-wearing Axe gang and the hard scrabble inhabitants of Pig Sty Alley. Chow--who wrote produced and directed--doesn't step in as the star here for quite a while letting the comic duties fly in a myriad of directions: a landlady in curlers (Yuen Qiu) has a yell that can flatten buildings; people get kicked across courtyards and through walls; musician assassins whip ghost sabers from lyre strings and a mental patient in pink flip-flops named "the Beast" (Leung Siu Lung) catches bullets in his fingers. Buoyed by SOCCER's box office success HUSTLE uses bigger production values and a dizzying amount of CGI-enhanced martial arts (imagine Bruce Lee vs. Bugs Bunny in THE MATRIX). It's full of references to other films and filmmakers revering spaghetti westerns and '70s Shaw brothers movies a la Tarantino's KILL BILL (fight choreographer Yuen Wo Ping worked on both films). It also pays sly homage to the works of Wong Kar Wai D.W. Griffith Sam Raimi Jean-Luc Godard Stanley Kubrick and Akira Kurosawa. Raymond Wong's inspired score matches each cinematic reference with the appropriate cue as the camera circles and swoops around the sprawling sets. This is a real treat more than a great action film or comedy it's a great film period and one that set box office records in the East.System Requirements:Running Time 99 Mins.Format: BLU-RAY DISC Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating: R UPC: 043396151253 Manufacturer No: 15125

 Worth Watching January 9, 2009
Tiger Chen (Bay Area, CA)
I saw this movie when it first came out about 4 years ago, I think. Have not watched it since. Bought this blu-ray version and watched it again and enjoyed it very much. A good addition to your comedy collection. A true "no-brainer" comedy.
As much fun watching a movie that you can January 8, 2009
Shawn M. Rush
Kung Fu Hustle is one of those films you might easily pass up. But I rented it one day and was incredibly surprised. The story isn't the main point even though it is a good one. But the characters are the big kicker. All the fights are great to watch. Now trying to get the wife to watch it is a different story. But if she is cool or you just want great fun in a movie, I would even buy it without even seeing it first. Especially at the low cost.

This is a great movie if you like wire fu movies.
All I can say is that it is a lot of fun to watch and very much watchable again and again from time to time when you just need a cheering up.
