Movie Reviews of Kung Fu Hustle (Axe-Kickin' Edition)
Movie Review: Kung Fu...nny Fu
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a sucker for kung fu movies so my assessment of how surprisingly good this movie is, would be less helpful than that of my two friends. Both are usually adamantly against martial arts movies on the premise that they are usually "cheesy" and/or "unrealistic". I knew I could soften them up if I could convince them to give this film a chance. Once they submitted and pretended not be enduring it, they quickly surrendered that it was "surprisingly good" and "really entertaining". That's the great thing about Stephan Chow; he makes his movies so unrealistic and overdone that you don't ever try to take them seriously; they are just plain ol' entertaining. His films and this one in particular seem to be a perfect hybrid of martial arts, comedy, and fantasy and comic book movies. This movie is not realistic, it is surreal, in a good way, the action scenes are fast, furious and Kung Fu...nny as heck. If you love martial arts or kung fu movies this is a MUST add to your collection, if you are not into them as much, this will be the one film in the genre that will knock your socks off guaranteed! This Axe-Kickin' Edition really kicks AXE minus the "xe" and add "ss".
Summary of Kung Fu Hustle (Axe-Kickin' Edition)
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.
