Kung Fu Hustle


A group of former Kung Fu champions living in a housing complex for the poor are attacked by the evil axe gang.

Kung Fu Husle is a decent comedy. What it does is spoof the whole Asian martial arts movie culture and if you like that kind of genre you will find this movie very entertaining. The jokes are for the most part funny and the whole thing being way over the top adds too the fun. The acting is decent with some good and some not so good performances. The special effects are good and used in a way that although you know its all bollocks it's cool to watch.

Sadly, if a person has no prior knowledge off Asian martial arts movies, this might get dull and uninteresting, or just seem plain stupid. Also the English dubbing is pretty bad and the subtitles even worse. This might be a problem with the DVD version though. All in all a fun over the top movie deserving a 7/10.
