Hustle to See This One!
What would you get if you were to make a “Bruce Lee meets the Matrix” comedy featuring several ‘super’ characters from Chinese fables? Probably something like Kung Fu Hustle! I just saw this movie and I was cracking up. If you know a little bit about Stephen Chow, you will really appreciate all of the little goodies and zingers that he slipped into this movie. If not, I can pretty much promise you that you have seen nothing like this before.The movie is set primarily in a slum known as Pig Sty Alley where several very colorful Kung Fu masters are living quietly amongst the others in the ally. The landlord is a very overbearing woman that you just can’t help but enjoying when she is on the screen. Ultimately there is a confrontation between the poor people of the alley and a ruthless organized crime gang know simply as the Axe Gang.
If you are looking for a serious story set in realism, this one isn’t for you. But if you want to have an unexpectedly good time watching another of Stephen Chow’s visions come to life in a movie that some how pays tribute to the Kung Fu film genre while at the same time making fun of it, go see this movie!
