[@chiehlilee9224]

This movie is Stephen Chow’s homage to Eastern and Western culture and cinema. The movie starred many actual master level martial artists. Even Stephen Chow has been considered a real martial art master in real life. The dying words of Donut (the staff martial artist) is the same dying words Sean Connery spoke in the movie Untouchable. The landlady’s hand gesture in the car scene is inspired by a scene from Bruce Lee’s movie. Then there’s the obvious Loony Tune effects.

[@MnemonicHack]

It's the best blend of Eastern and Western comedy and martial arts I've ever seen.

[@chickendrawsdogs3343]

When the Beast meets the Landlord and Landlady, they identified themselves (jokingly) as the legendary lovers Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu, a reference to the novel "Return of the Condor Heroes" by famous writer Jin Yong. That is a hilarious reference even Vietnamese audience can appreciate because Jin Yong's novels and their TV adaptations were very popular.

[@rogerfaint499]

Fun fact: In 'Return of the Condor Hero', the one with Toad skill (aka Beast in KFH) was the adopted father of Yang Guo. Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu are the 'Fated lovers'. To bring more depth to the story, Return of the Condor Hero was the second part of the trilogy, the first part is 'Legend of the condor heroes' and Yang Guo's father was the bad guy. He wanted to be Beast's disciple but Beast would only have one and Yang Kang (Yang Guo's father) killed that son of Beast. When Beast realized the truth, he did not help Yang Kang to purge out his poison. Yang Kang tried to silence Huang Rong from revealing the truth and hit her on the back. But Huang Rong wore soft armor but the armor was already poisoned previously by others who was poisoned and had hit her from the back. Hence the poisoned was passed to Yang Kang. Beast was known as *West Venom* who specialized in poisons and also highly skilled (one of the 5 greats in martial arts in LOTCH).

also the standing camera, i dont know why hollywood action movies use so much the shaking camera on fight scenes, they are so unpleasent to watch

[@Indiescent]

@@SaraqaelGuardian thats because most actors on hollywood cant actually fight so they use editing to hide it

[@LeSpicey]

And there’s also the fact that they show the impacts, so you know and feel how it hits, when in a lot of western action movies nowadays, it’s either off screen, or they cut around the hit, and you never end up seeing the contact, aside from a few shots, which just diminishes how you perceive the action.

[@Ytinasniiable]

It's part of the reason the fights in the matrix are considered so high tier, the wachowskis were heavily inspired by Hong Kong cinema

[@bestusernameever6518]

I never noticed that they didn't really explicitly show who the main character was. Most of us watched the film for Stephen Chow, so we expected for him to be the main character

[@aresef]

About the action, the fights were mostly choreographed by Yuen Woo-ping (The Matrix, Kill Bill, Crouching Tiger, Ip Man 3 and 4). I say mostly because the original fight choreographer was Sammo Hung, who quit for a variety of reasons, including creative differences.

[@OutdatedLeon]

And the interesting part of it all, Yuen also makes an appearance in the movie - he's the "beggar" who sold the redeemed protagonist the scroll of Buddhist Palm.

[@jamesgabriel7132]

the part where the three masters fought the axe gangster foot soldiers was choreographed by sammo hung. the rest of the show was from yuen. so can you spot the differences between sammo's style and yuen's style? stephen and sammo had a fallout over the style they each want, which resulted in the termination of sammo hung by stephen. he was replaced by yuen, who's style met his demand.

[@eisenartworks9421]

@@eisenartworks9421 Realistic because those 3 were/are real fighters (with real martial arts skills). The coolie was a Shaolin monastery martial monk and trained in Shaolin temple for more than 10 years (though in this movie, Kungfu hustle, that was his first acting/movie). When he was recommended for the audition, 200 people had already auditioned for the role before him and he got it. During the shoot, one of his kicks landed on the axe-gang member and the poor chap blacked out instantly and was rushed to hospital. That unfortunate man did come to till 3 days later.

[@camil3545]

The Actors who portrayed the Landlord and the Landlady are from the same Peking Opera School as Jackie Chan and many other well know Hong Kong action stars (in a way you can think of it like how classic SNL was known for having many of their alumni turn into genre defining comedy stars, but in this case is more weaving in choreography with storytelling rather than just straight comedy). The Landlord's actor also started his film career as Bruce Lee's stunt double.

[@Slaphappy1975]

As someone from Southeast Asia who grew up with Hong Kong cinema, I can tell you that Kung-Fu Hustle was a high-point for action comedies and made Stephen Chow the biggest movie star in Asia at the time. Here are some viewing suggestions if you would like to watch more HK movies but don't know where to start: Project A (1983)- A period kungfu movie with Jackie Chan playing a HK colonial marine fighting pirates. Has all the trademark Jackie Chan slapstick and some of his best stunts. Shaolin Soccer (2001)- Made 3 years before, it's the proto Kungfu Hustle. Has all the hallmarks of a Stephen Chow action comedy but rougher around the edges. Still really good though. Fist of Legend (1994)- My favourite Jet Li movie. IMO, Jet Li at his most badass and not to be missed. Hard Boiled (1992)- A John Woo film starring Chow Yun Fat and Tony Leung. Although A Better Tomrrow is the more famous film, and The Killer more dramatically intriguing, for sheer gunplay brilliance, there is no topping Hard Boiled. Chow Yun Fat and Tony Leung are magnetic in their roles and one of HK cinema's most unforgettable villans; Mad Dog.

[@Strongwind127]

"Chow said that he would start work on Kung Fu Hustle 2 after finishing the sequel to The Mermaid." So hyped, can't wait.

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

That movie set a new bar " If you know more about the cultural background of kung fu, it reflected the whole history of Chinese kung fu movie. If you know cantonese, it would even be more funny. Thats why someone would think you underscored it .

Some of my best scenes from Kungfu Hustle 2004. 1. Trying to fight one on one with those villagers. 2. Knives throwing scene. 3.) Old lady chasing scene. 4.) Stephen Chow fights back when that fat guy was trying to offer him drinks but he eventually misunderstood assuming he was following after him. 5. Catching bullet scene. 6. Shoes stepping scene.

This is a cinema masterpiece that has so many things in one, comedy, action, actual martial artists, great story line that link everything from start to end, redemption, hope, tension, humour amongst seriousness, music, sounds effects that you immediately recognize, symbolisms, paying homage to other western movies and cartoons. Directed, produced, written, acted by Stephen Chow. Absolute Legend. Only Stephen Chow can combined so many elements and make them work well together. Comedy itself is hard to achieve. its not pure slapstick, but creativity and style as well. the special effects must also work well. If this is your first chinese martial art movie, you can't set this as the bar for other movies style. perhaps only for comedy+martial art genre, which Stephen Chow specializes in. else you may be disappointed.

i didnt know that about the asylum blood scene. thanks!

[@megasxlr0282]

@@_willandjack glad I could help, I read a lot of chinese light novels about martial arts so it's pretty common haha.

[@lafatte24]

Blood scene was also a direct reference/shot from the shining. Stephen chow loves referencing movies. The shot of the asylum with the clouds circling above was a ghost busters reference too.

This movie is such an awesome film. I'm so glad so many people are finally watching it.

As a huge horror fan I cannot wait to watch this

I always watch dis everytime me n my family went dinner as a regular and it never fails to make me laugh literally the best !

[@leew6091]

Love this movie. Cinema gold in just about every scene.

[@tuesdae666]

Try Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons. Also by Stephen Chow, with some incredible action scenes as well.

[@bardagulkamote8994]

This movie got Dan Akroyd Seal of approval for comedy

[@inquisitive6786]

Shaolin Soccer was before this. It is just as crazy as this and Stephen Chow playing football at the start of this film and deflating the ball saying "no more soccer" was a reference to Shaolin Soccer. That one is a must watch too.

[@thursdayschild12]

Stephen chow is a great actor, director, comedian, screenwriter and everything gosh i grew up watching his movies and i love it really much

[@DarKteleFaX]

Great reaction guys. I would definetely recommend Saviour of the soul, an old Hong Kong martial arts movie from 1991. It has a lot of the same humor as Kung Fu Hustle, and insane scenography. Also check out John Woo's Hardboiled (from 1992). One of the most insane action movies I've ever seen.

[@_willandjack]

hardboiled is on my list for sure!

[@D2thei]

Journey to the west : conquering the demons..this is even better..no yutuber reviewed it..yet

[@KanakaMomona]

Man this and shaolin soccer was my childhood favorite. Its awesome seeing it being reacted too

[@damionnefelsch6546]

One of my all time favourites. I watched it by accident. I'm now glad for reactions from people like you. Including your mate who suggested it too you. Cheers

Love how the movie has refrences to loony tunes and Bruce lee

[@ac9669]

Speaking of action movies, it is worth giving the movie "flashpoint" (aka SPL) by donnie yen, and Drunken Master 2 by jackie chan a try.

[@jeremydang7708]

actually at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="169">2:49</a> were "while you were beating those cops, all your men went learn to speak Cantonese". Because they are actually 2 kind of Chinese, the cowboy hat old man speak, Mandarin. Coolie a kind of worker, but their price were really cheap

Im from the philippines and I watched this when I was in college. One of my favorite comedy of all time!
