The latest film from Hong Kong's reigning comic star and director, Stephen Chow ... is a celebration of Hong Kong action cinema that mocks gravity, both emotional and physical. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
When I saw it at Sundance, I wrote that it was 'like Jackie Chan and Buster Keaton meet Quentin Tarantino and Bugs Bunny.' You see how worked up you can get, watching a movie like this. full review

Hatchet fu, shotgun fu, flowerpot fu, harp fu, cobra fu, disco fu, Zen fu, Kubrick fu, Road Runner fu, geezer fu, bullfrog fu. Kung Fu Hustle features every type of fu except déjà fu. full review

January 19, 2007Decided one evening to go watch this movie, knowing absoluately NOTHING about it (hadn't seen a trailer, nothing). What followed was one of the most original and entertaining movies I've seen in a long time. Looking forward to the sequel.
