J Besser I saw this movie in the theater with my hard of hearing wife. At the time movie theaters did not have Closed Caption devices like they do now. So I would drag her to pretty much ever subtitled movie that came to town. I knew nothing about what we were walking into. We walked into greatness. Unfortunately, none of the other Stephen Chow films that I've seen have done it for me. To me he's a one hit wonder but what a hit. Maybe Top 10 of All Time.

Utpal Das There has been no movie like this, none. Period. Shoalin Soccer was brilliant,but this is something else.The character development is so rich that you will be wanting more, from the lecherous landlord, to the side kick of the bad guy and the side kick of the hero, from the mega villain to the local Juliet, from the land lady to the 2 vile playing the piano, even if they got a few scenes, everyone stole the limelight. In fact, Stephen Chow's character probably looked less interesting at times.The scene where his sidekick accidentally hits him with a knife followed by kissing a cobra is the ultimate funny sceneThee are so so so many good to better to brilliant scenes from all the characters that you would probably see it nth number of times.The slapstick is bang on, the over-the-top scenes are even more bang on, everyone is in top notch form.It is mostly over-the-top but what a balance Stephen Chow has maintained! NOT EVEN ONCE does it cross the line to become even remotely senseless. This is miles ahead of anything you have seen, in fact a different genre needs to be specially made just to fit this movie. This one, Shaolin Soccer and CJ7 are proof enough that Chow is a superior director, but i doubt he can top this. There is just no equal. It is like the Psycho of thrillers, The Enter the Dragon of Martial Arts, The Terminator 2 of Action movies, With this movie alone, Chow should be ranked as an all time great.

Morten_5 Creative, well-choreographed and funny, "Kung Fu Hustle" by Chinese/Cantonese director Stephen Chow was an international $100 million hit.The pros: The pace and charm of the movie. The homage it makes to older martial arts flicks. The stylish and nice-looking scenes it's composed by.The cons: It's not quite enough a story in itself to make me fully engaged. Rather, it's a collection of nice pictures and fighting scenes.

Achoo42 Good: Almost everything. I love it all, from the crazy slapstick humor, to the wild kung-fu fantasy fighting, to the insane villains and incredible heroes. Stephen Chow is not a man who does things by halves. When he does things, he does it all the way. Kung Fu Hustle is physical evidence of this. Kung Fu Hustle is not a film for the meek. Everything about it is completely over the top from the beginning (where a man's leg is sliced clean in two by an axe) to the end (a kung-fu style called the Toad, which emulates the croaking and hopping of it's namesake). Another amazing aspect is the soundtrack. Inspired by classic Shaolin music, it's incredibly fitting to the scenes in this movie. I actually went out of my way to find the soundtrack to listen by itself. The special effects are a bit too much, but that's just part of it's charm and humor. This is my favorite movie of all time in terms of sheer entertainment. I've watched it 4 times already.Bad: Character development. The protagonist, Sing, isn't a hero until 3/4ths of the movie is through. And for no apparent reason or explanation other than the lollipop. The Landlady and Landlord are also cowards until the movie is halfway through, also for no apparent reason.Verdict: I highly recommend watching this movie at least once. Or twice. Or thrice. Or four times like I did.
