Guest quasicartes Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 http://www.kungfuhustle.com/Just seen it. Damn cool. Damn funny. Fight scenes choreographed by Yuen Wo Ping. (Matrix and Kill Bill fight scene choreograper). It has Matrix spoof elements (especially the fight scenes) and even Spiderman spoof elements in it. It also has a little bit of philosopy. It's now one of the most successfull foreign film. The most successfull Hong Kong flick, so far. A sequel is in the making. Quote
pukeachu Posted February 15, 2005 Posted February 15, 2005 This comp is having difficulty playing the clip, quas Is Kung Fu coming to American cinemas or straight to DVD? Quote
Guest quasicartes Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Was Shaolin Soccer (Stephen Chow's previous film before Kung Fu Hustle) shown on US cinemas? If it was, then Kung Fu Hustle would be coming to US cinemas. Quote
Neo52285 Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 shaolin soccer was shown here....yes Quote
Guest quasicartes Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 ''Shaolin Soccer'' was released in Hong Kong in 2001, and was available on DVD until nearly a year ago(2003). Miramax bought it, tricked it up with new, simplified subtitles and scissored nearly half an hour of jagged subplots and brawling that might have compromised a get-'em-into-the-tent PG-13. To compensate, new music and English-language signs and graphics have been added, so the film seems to take place in an even odder world than most Hong Kong action epics.^ from new york times movie review...So, better get the DVD, the original un-edited version.

red_ed Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 It was poor A bit late to comment, but seriously, it was really bad... except the dancing mob Quote
schadenfreude Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 It was poor Most people who said this can't appreciate Chow's genius: nonsensical humour extravaganza. Therefore, if you have a sophisticated sense of humour, youn will feel very insulted watching this movie. Quote

They were much better in every department. and I watch Family Guy THAT'S non-sensical Quote
