Product Description
Stephen Chow's follow-up to SHAOLIN SOCCER ups the over-the-top action quotient by about three zillion percent. The story is set in 1930s Hong Kong with Chow as a shaggy-haired would-be bad guy named Sing who gets caught up in the middle of a war between the top-hat-wearing Axe gang and the hard scrabble inhabitants of Pig Sty Alley. Chow--who wrote produced and directed--doesn't step in as the star here for quite a while letting the comic duties fly in a myriad of directions: a landlady in curlers (Yuen Qiu) has a yell that can flatten buildings; people get kicked across courtyards and through walls; musician assassins whip ghost sabers from lyre strings and a mental patient in pink flip-flops named "the Beast" (Leung Siu Lung) catches bullets in his fingers. Buoyed by SOCCER's box office success HUSTLE uses bigger production values and a dizzying amount of CGI-enhanced martial arts (imagine Bruce Lee vs. Bugs Bunny in THE MATRIX). It's full of references to other films and filmmakers revering spaghetti westerns and '70s Shaw brothers movies a la Tarantino's KILL BILL (fight choreographer Yuen Wo Ping worked on both films). It also pays sly homage to the works of Wong Kar Wai D.W. Griffith Sam Raimi Jean-Luc Godard Stanley Kubrick and Akira Kurosawa. Raymond Wong's inspired score matches each cinematic reference with the appropriate cue as the camera circles and swoops around the sprawling sets. This is a real treat more than a great action film or comedy it's a great film period and one that set box office records in the East.System Requirements:Running Time 99 Mins.Format: BLU-RAY DISC Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating: R UPC: 043396151253 Manufacturer No: 15125

Kung fu Hustle December 24, 2008
Brandon Scott (San Francisco)
This is a great movie if you like wire fu movies.
All I can say is that it is a lot of fun to watch and very much watchable again and again from time to time when you just need a cheering up.

Fantastic Movie and Soundtrack to match December 3, 2008
JaneMancini (L.A.)
I can't really add anything that anyone hasn't written already.
Stephen Chow is amazing. I am a fan of anything he has done.
The soundtrack to this film is outstanding!!
It adds so much to the movie and can stand alone as well.
I have the US release soundtrack and the Hong Kong version as well,
and they are just terrific!!
Looking foward to kung fu hustle 2 when/if he gets it done.
Greatest comedic genius since Charlie Chaplin, but skip Blu-ray's bad English dubing November 13, 2008
James A. Webb (Redmond WA)

This wonderful comedy in Blu-ray features bad English dubing with poor voices, and they actually had the nerve to change many funny lines to dumb it down for us. It's best to watch it in Cantonese with English subtitles, it's then pure genius. I only wish Charlie were here to see it.
