What’s it about?
Kungfu Hustle takes place in Guangdong in China in 1940s. Stephen Chow plays a hopeless hooligan Ah Sing. Ah Sing has a truly sharp tongue and often twists facts and overwhelms people with his gift of the gab. However, he lacks a strong will and doesn’t have a career. It’s his ideal to join the merciless and notorious Axe Gang and become a notable figure in the gang. At this time, Axe Gang is sparing no effort in capturing a district not yet under its influence. However, this place has many hidden talents such as a tyrannical fat landlady and her husband, whom by contrast, looks like a weakling, who lead a group of martial arts experts who has been concealing their abilities, against the Axe Gang using their miraculous skills.

There’s mention of Kung Fu Hustle and Shaolin Soccer, and it’s relationship to Miramax and Tri Star distribution.
Good, I was afraid it was going to be about a guy who wanted to promote shaolin kung fu by forming a shaolin disco-dance team with his old kung fu brothers.
ahaha Kung Fu Funk..disco style!!!

KUNG FU HUSTLE - Stephen Chow’s latest Kung Fu Flick
The latest on the film Kung Fu Hustle in which GM Chiu Chi Ling is playing a role.
Hi Gene,
I’m also very curious.
I’ll keep posting if I have some news to report on this film.

Klaas
hmm sammo hung isnt gonna be action choerographer anymore. i like sammo’s fight scenes he uses a lot more chin na than normal people.
Yeah, Sammo rocks.
He has a wicked front kick - drops all his girth on you. Ever see Paper Marraige? It’s a guilty pleasure of mine, especially the Maggie Cheung mud wrestling scene. Some great stuff. But he seems a little burnt after his TV show experience. That started out strong, but it didn’t sustain itself, at least choreographically speaking.
Yeah, that show went from wow, to ugh, more cheesy USA sitcom choreography…
The first season has some good stuff though.
The film already played at the Toronto International Film Festival last month.
It will appear in January 2005.

something we do not know
Given the choice between Shaolin Soccer or Kung Fu which one i prefer?I think i will choose Kung Fu.Not only its CGI is 5 times better than Shaolin Soccer,but also it affects my feelings about Chow’s past movies . Although it is said that he plays a role who appears half of the time,i think it doesn’t diminish the importance of his role. Because played Buddha palm .The key is that Sing is not really bad ,and Sing in why did he change his mind to hit the top world’s killer(Fire-clouded devil)with a stick,and why did he stop fighting to that crazy guy untill he the play always said "i am not a good man,i want to kill blah..blah.."but if someone were a bad guy ,how can he or she say “i want to kill a person,and i wanna be a bad person!” Because bad guys kill people without reasons instead of hesitating about that! So he can hit TOP world’s killer right now.However,Sing was struggling with right and wrong as if he was on the edge of darkness,and stood on the steel bar where he waited for someone give him a push. Who did push him at this moment? Yes! What you think is that girl.She told him with sign language. “Hey! Did you forget?You saved me in the past!” But,Stephen Chow told the reporter that mute girl’s lines should be " Hey! Did you forget?you are a good person!why you robbed me ? Thus,Sing were facing the dilemma of being a good person or a bad guy. Finally,Sing said to himself and realised that he is a good man! This is why he was for the landlady and landlord.Likewise,after he got hurt badly,the landlady asked him “how come you became righteous?Have you got something to say?” Then,Sing drew a stick of candy with his blood. In fact,it shows that he is a good man within,and is ready to do what he has to do and what he is prepared to do.It is similar to following his instincts like 6 guys in Shaolin Soccer who had found their roles after they got punched in the match.
To sum up,every time i see Kung Fu ,i have a different feeling. It is worthwhile to pay money to see it again and again!Stephen Chow not only earns our money,but also makes everyone laugh and cry!
It is a logical argument that Sing struck Beast with a stick due to
Stephen Chow’s press interview.
subtitles anyone?
I’m sure there was a spoiler in that last post, but I couldn’t get past the syntax and grammer. I just read this morning that there’s a new book out on Animal language that poses the argument against it since animals don’t have syntax (an old argument really). Obviously, the author has never studied chinglish… ![]()
