Kung Fu Hustle

[slextremely]

Anyone seen this advertised? I think it looks pretty cool, i'll check it out.

[Funky Fly]

The trouble with this kind of movie is that it will either really really kick ass or it will really really suck balls.

[el fregadero]

It will probably suck balls.

[Funky Fly]

Yeah, the commercials really make it look that way.

[Bo]

Its to novelity looking.

[Kris P Lettus]

I'll rent it and smoke a big fatty during it..

I looks that type..

[Buzzkill]

I am not feeling too good about this film.

[Gouda]

It looks like one of those movies that I'd never pay to watch but watch it on TV if I have nothing better to do and it's on.

[Boondock Saint]

I thought Shaolin Soccer was hilarious, so I'm looking forward to this. However it does indeed have potential to just not be funny at all and try too hard.

[Apprentice]

I saw it already in Chinese and I thought it was decent. Really insane fighting. Not realistic though like old school Jet li. This is like Shaolin Soccer on steroids with some weird ass story. Very superhero kinda stuff with very cartoony violence. If you liked Shaolin Soccer, you'll probably like this. But then again, Hong Kong humor doesn't translate well usually to the states or other parts of the world.

Rating 7/10

[Lamuella]

I love Stephen Chow, so if this is even 1/4 as good as Shaolin Soccer, I'll love it.

[Gouda]

Shaolin soccer... I started to watch that butthen it was the dub version so I turned it off. If I was gonna watch it I'd want a subtitled version.

[Fignuts]

Yes I watched the sub version. It was the goods.

[Rain Man]

Harry Kalis is the guy that does the commercial like background speaker guy. And he is the guy who commentates Phillies games, and does the highlights on Inside the NFL.. Just noticed that

I don't know if it will be better than Kung Pow, but I'll see it

[Gertner]

If it's twice as funny as Kung Pow, I'd still rather shoot myself.

[Boondock Saint]

Kung Pow was awful.

[slextremely]

Kung Pow is an awesome movie while stoned! :lol:

[Kris P Lettus]

Kung Pow had some great moments..

I own it..

[tucsonspeed6]

You can't watch Kung Pow expecting a good movie. Just enjoy the stupidity of it.

But I've seen that this movie has been getting pretty good reviews so far. Should be good.

[Fryza]

Live action anime. Good times.

[Requiem]

I have no wish to see it. It looked retarded.

[Champion of Europa]

If they played it here, I would definitely go see it. I'm hearing very good things.

[slextremely]

Last i looked it's getting a 92% rating at rottentomatoes. Gonna be damn good i think.

[Sepholio]

I plan to go see it when it opens here.

But I'm going to see it while Im stoned, so yea.

I will report back with a full review once it opens.

[Ninti the Mad]

LOL

THis movie is awesome.

I just saw it a couple of hours ago. It's a REALLY enjoyable movie.

It had alot of ROFL parts in it. I mean really ROFL.

I almost fell out of my seat. It also has a pretty good plotline so it's not all jibberish.

I hope they make a sequel. I can see it happening in so many ways.

AWESOME

[slextremely]

Sweet, i'll check it out later on this week hope it's as good as you say.

[loopydate]

It's really funny. I expected it to be more along the lines of "Kung Pow," but it's really not. It's nowhere near as broad-humored as "Pow" was.

This is more of a funny homage to classic martial arts movies, what with the assortment of cliched (and totally not cliched) characters. Plus, you can tell that Chow is a fan of American movies, because he managed to work in references to "Spider-Man," "The Shining," "Gangs of New York," and "The Matrix" without any of them being unfunny.

"The Beast" was a great character, but I won't say anymore so I don't spoil anything for anyone. But, yeah, it's very funny. And it's completely in Chinese, with a couple of English lines thrown in for purely humorous purposes.

[Champion of Europa]

I'm going to see it tomorrow at 4:55 :heart:

[Ninti the Mad]

bump

Everyone should watch this movie.

[YOUR Hero]

It's already left the theaters here. I'll watch for it on DVD

[Ninti the Mad]

Do you have broadband? I can send it to you.

:y:

[bigdaddysuperfreak]

Kung Pow was awful.
:n:

[YOUR Hero]

Do you have broadband? I can send it to you.Thanks for the offer, but nah.

[YOUR Hero]

My computer is not worthy of downloads and the like.

[Champion of Europa]

I already saw it, it was LMAO. When Sing was getting stabbed with those knives, haha. I was cracking up.

[Corkscrewed]

Stephen Chow films are absolutely hilarious if you're a Chinese guy who's been engrossed in American culture... aka a Chinese American or someone from Hong Kong.

Then you can catch the countless number of subtle references he puts in. :D

[slextremely]

I had really high hopes for this, and i was let down a little bit. I still enjoyed the movie but it was'nt as good as i hoped it would be. Oh well back to watching Kung Pow! :cool:
