Had high hopes. They were quickly dashed by this bloody mess...

I've heard a number of glowing reviews of this movie. I'm in a martial arts movie phase right now. In my opinion, this movie is just "not good." It had a few rather funny moments (few being the operative word). Other than that it was pretty much just an unredeemed bloodbath and not especially funny.

I really didn't care much for this one, sadly. I'll stick with some of the better actual martial arts movies and keep an eye open for a GOOD martial arts spoof. The White Dragon just didn't do it for me either. I'm hoping that Kung Pow - Enter The Fist, Kung Phooey! or Where Is Mama's Boy will be better send-ups of the genre.

Again, Kung Fu Hustle was pretty much an abominable, bloody mess of a movie (both literally and figuratively), in my opinion (having recently watched MUCH better fare like Hero, Fearless, Curse of the Golden Flower, Legend of the Black Scorpion, Tai Chi Master, The Warrior, The Forbidden Kingdom, The Myth, etc).

If you like Jackie Chan flicks, comedies, action films or just something to watch 'cause you're bored, I would suggest that you get this movie. It's funny, filled with kung fu style antics and it's even got a love story tucked away in the background for you sappy types. I would also suggest watching it in the original Chinese and subtitles, since a couple jokes didn't transfer over when they did the English dubbing.

Beyond entertaining.

This movie is fantastic. I could watch it once a week... maybe even more. The visuals, the story line (if you're a kung-fu enthusiast) the characters... everything is so fun.

ONE OF THE FUNNIEST ACTION MOVIES OF ALL TIME!!!

Stephen Chow outdid himself in "Kung Fu Hustle", a movie he wrote, directed and stars in. The humor is slapstick and off the wall, reminiscent of Road Runner vs. Wile E. Coyote in some scenes.

The plot is as follows: Chow and his chubby sidekick want to become members of the Axe Gang. The two commit a few petty crimes to prove they are worthy criminals. When they enter the tacky slum run by a chainsmoking landlady and her womanizing landlord husband and try to intimidate the slum dwellers, the real hilarity begins. The scenes with the knives and snakes are beyond funny! ("Hey! Who's throwing handles!" the landlady squawks.) The leader of the Axe Gang sends Chow on an assignment to release the most fierce criminal of all time. If Chow accomplishes this feat, he will be accepted into the gang. In the final scene, the "world's greatest criminal" and Chow face off and Chow's chi is ultimately realized.

Along the way, the viewer is introduced to a cast of interesting characters including the "coolie," the tailor, the noodles and congee maker, the buck-toothed siren, the gay hair-cutter, and the deaf/mute vending girl who has a special tie with Chow's character that he has forgotten, but she never has.

Kung Fu Hustle is an odd mixture of violence and comedy and it works. There are so many comedic surprises in this movie it's easy to watch it numerous times. I own it and it is one of my children and my all time favorites.

Stephen Chow (director and star of Shaolin Soccer) is at it again with his newest action-packed and comedic martial-arts adventure, KUNG FU HUSTLE. From wildly imaginative kung fu showdowns to dance sequences featuring tuxedoed mobsters, you've never seen action this outrageous and characters this zany! With jaw-dropping fight sequences by Yuen Wo Ping (famed action choreographer of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and The Matrix), KUNG FU HUSTLE will blow you away! In a town ruled by the Axe Gang, Sing (Stephen Chow) desperately wants to become a member. He stumbles into a slum ruled by eccentric landlords who turn out to be kung fu masters in disguise. Sing's actions eventually cause the Axe Gang and the slumlords to engage in an explosive kung fu battle. Only one side will win and only one hero will emerge as the greatest kung fu master of all.
