Movie Reviews of Kung fu
Movie Review: Take it with humor
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie is a joke - in a good way. It wasn't meant to be a serious kung fu movie and if that is what you are expecting, you will be dissapointed. If you enjoy a lot of humor with some good fight sequences woven in, you'll probably like this too. The film is subtitled. The stoy is there, works, and carries through (i.e. it's not just a bunch of slap stick tied together).
Let your hair down, kick back, and get ready for a few laughs with this very good foreign film.
Movie Review: weird, scary fun for everyone
Summary: 4 Stars
My 10 year old son and I enjoyed this movie immensely. Fallen, tired heroes battle an evil gang of organized crime. There is much violence but very little gore---it may not be appropriate for kids under 10 or 12. You will laugh out loud and come away thinking, which is more than happens after watching a typical hollywood movie. Just see it!Movie Review: Artistic, Stylistic, Entertaining and Fun
Summary: 4 Stars
A lot of thought and choreography was put into this movie and it paid off. There was humor and satire but also poignancy and drama. Plus lots of kung-fu action. Steven Chow knows his stuff. Good movie and soon to be another addition to my personal collection because it is worth seeing more than once.Movie Review: go see this movie

Summary: 3 Stars
Kung Fu Hustle **1/2
Cast: Stephen Chow, Yuen Wah, Yuen Qui, Leung Siu Lung, Shengyi Huang
Director: Stephen Chow
Running Length: 1:35
MPAA Classification: PG-13
In Shanghai, in the 1930s, everything is controlled by the Axe Gang. Well, everything except the slums. There is no profit in the slums. Sing (Chow) wants to take advantage of this, and when he arrives at Pigsty Alley playing the role of an Axe Gang member, his performance is so bad that nobody believes him. Then some real members of the gang arrive, and Sing is in trouble. To add to that, there are some kung fu masters hiding in Pigsty Alley, and they are not too thrilled with the gang making an appearance in their little town.
I can honsetly say I have never seen a movie quite like "Kung Fu Hustle". It is a strange hybrid of a kung fu movie, a slapstick comedy, and even a little Road Runner/Looney Toones. It is really funny at times, but the humor is a bit uneven. The biggest drawback to this film is the subtitles. I prefer this to dubbing, but I think that some of the humor is lost, having to read them.
Apparently Stephen Chow is second in popularity in China only to Jackie Chan. He has yet to really make a name for himself here in America, but there definately is potential. He writes, directs, stars, and produces this movie, so this movie is definately his. If you are looking for something a little different to see, "Kung Fu Hustle" just may be the movie for you.
