- This movie was a great time. Live action mixed with a looney tunes type feel. Great action and comedy throughout. Kick back and enjoy some laughs with me on this one.

I love the fact that this movie and Shaolin Soccer were made on a bet.
Wait foreal ??!!
me when i spread misinformation on the internet
The Landlords are my favorite!!
The male landlord was Bruce Lee’s double in Enter the Dragon! At the beginning, he was the one who flipped back on his feet from his shoulders, n later did the double flip over the monk’s raised arms!
One of the few movies in years with real heart at the end
Thanks for watching in original cantonese language, so you get all the nuances and the intention from the voice tonation, as there will always be something lost in translation with dub.
It was really fun watching your reaction and enjoyment to this movie.
Kung Fu Hustle (2004) is a masterpiece with a complex story that connects together very well from top to end, paced very well, and the music and sound effects are excellent, they purposely chose to record the music from live orchestra.
Kung Fu Hustle (2004) has actually a lot of references to hong kong movies. It is not a parody but paying homage, giving respect and tribute to the inspirations of what Stephen Chow watches when he is growing up. Stephen Chow also said his idol is Bruce Lee.
Stephen Chow put in a lot of hong kong and also western references,
- Roger Rabbit style (lips bitten by snakes),
- speedy gonzales (fat woman running),
- the pigsty alley village is based on the lawless slum in hong kong, called Kowloon Walled City, ruled by gangsters.History traced this city back to the year 960 during the Song dynasty (960-1279). By 1990 the walled city contained 50,000 residents. It is demolished by 1994.
- the landlady gesture in the car with the axe gang boss is exactly what bruce lee did, which is directly from classic bruce lee movie, The Way of the Dragon (1972). Look for "Bruce Lee knuckle cracks his fists from "Way of the Dragon" ".

- the powers of the 3 heroes are traditional powers, but the powers of the two blind musicians are mystical so they are more powerful than traditional powers.
- each of the 3 powers, the kick, the staff, the rings are all from classic hong kong movies
- the 2 blind musicians' powers is also from classic hong kong movie. Them using the zither instrument is reference to Deadful Melody (1994). The chinese literal translation of this title is "Six-Fingered Demon Musician".
- the look of the 2 musician assassins with sunglasses is reference to The Blues Brothers (1980) looks.
- When the landlord said, who knew the beast could unlock the chi flow, and then the landlady said, Stephen Chow is "The One", referencing matrix.
- the white and black outfit hat Sing (Stephen Chow) wears is what bruce lee wore from classic bruce lee movie in Enter the Dragon (1973). You see this outfit worn by Jet Li too in Fearless (2006).
- spiderman reference, about with great power comes great responsibility line.
- The Shining reference, when the blood pour out from the beast cell.
- The Axe Gang is based on the real Axe Gang founded in 1921 in Shanghai around Japanese Occupation.
- This movie's time period is during the era of 1920s.
- The top hats you see on the gangsters is a reference to the hats in Gangs of New York (2002)
- Toad style is from chinese martial art novel.
- The landlady and tenants is directly from classic hong kong movies (The House of 72 Tenants).
- The fierce landlady with the passive husband is also from another classic hong kong movie.
- The buddhist palm is fictional and derives from classic novels and made into a classic hong kong movie and also has its own drama series.
- the landlord style is tai chi that uses flows. so he looks slimy and has good evasion.
- the landlady scream power, called Lion's Roar, is also from classic hong kong movie, The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber (1978).
- the fight scene with many axe gangsters and them flying in the sky is reference to matrix 2.
- why Sing or landlady/landlord didn't kill, because the philosophies of different chinese martial arts is not about killing, but self defense, forgiveness, discipline, spreading love, not evil, etc.
before the tailor dies, he said : "What are you prepared to do?" is a reference to The Untouchables (1987) dying scene.
In the ending where the metal flower flew to the Ice Cream girl, it is a reference to Forrest Gump (1994) ending scene with Tom Hanks and the floating feather.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021) took references from Kung Fu Hustle and also gave special thanks to Kung Fu Hustle in their credits.
Watching Kung Fu Hustle (2004) is like watching the entire history of Hong Kong cinema. Anyone, especially those from Hong Kong, who can get the references will be extra blessed.
In a 2010 interview, actor Bill Murray called Kung Fu Hustle "the supreme achievement of the modern age in terms of comedy". In 2021, American filmmaker James Gunn called it "the greatest film ever made".
I love this movie so much! The harp fight scene is my absolute favorite ever and sometimes I watch/ listen to it just for the music.
21:22 I remember watching this scene when I was a little kid and I was scared of the bald guy! He’s just too OP🔥
🤣🤣🤣🤣
My family and I laughed ourselves hoarse when we first watched this movie. There were at least two of us on the floor on our hands and knees unable to breathe because we were laughing so hard. This movie is a masterpiece.
You should watch Shaolin Soccer (2001) next. Since you enjoyed this one.
Shaolin Soccer (2001) is also brilliantly
Directed, Produced, Written, and Acted as main character by the legendary Stephen Chow himself. Same as Kung Fu Hustle (2004).
Please get the original cantonese language version (from Miramax) (not mandarin dub, not english dub nor english edited scenes (if you see english words in the movie, but cantonese langauge, that is the americanized version. They used overlays, rephrased the subtitles words, changed some music to english music, and they dubbed over all the voice sound effects, strangely).
Stephen Chow made both films emphasizing for the international audience in mind. It is his first big break into western market. He is already very famous and well known in Hong Kong, south-east asia, Asia in general. We love his unique style and humour.
this is the best movie ever
Love this movie, Stephen Chow is a legend
