90%

Action: 3 / 3 + Comedy: 2 / 2 + Good vs Evil: 1 / 1 + Love/Sex: 0.5 / 1 + Special Effects: 0.5 / 1 + Plot: 1 /1 + Music: 1 / 1 = 9 / 10 or 90%.

Kung-Fu Hustle is a rare blend of action and comedy that flow together seamlessly. It is an exception to the rule, like Ghost Busters before it, where big time special effects do not detract from the story.

Kickin' good fun

I liked Kung Fu Hustle so much that I ran out to get Kung Fu Majhong 1 and 2. I love a good slapstick comedy and this fits the bill as a brilliantly put-together action, comedy, fantasy movie. I bought it for a good friend of mine when he was down in the dumps. Funny movie, great laughs and some other fun scenes! Like the special effects, too.

Dear Mr. Chow

Well done Stephen Chow, Well done. You have managed to make a beautiful kung fu movie with not only great fighting, but humor as well. The outlandish heroes are great and unexpected. I thought this was going to be like Kung Pow, but nay -- It was masterpiece compared to that piece of crap. Still I can only give you 3/4 stars because I am a prick. Keep up the good work.

PS. I would love to see a sequel with a midget that shoots projectile fingernails.

You may know kung fu... but you're still a fairy.

I loved this movie. Stephen Chow is a brilliant man when it comes to comedy he knows his stuff. The thing that I found to be most unique about this film is the ammount of CGI that was used. Nearly every gag, and every fight scene was loaded with all kinds of CGI, and it was expertly done. Some of the smallest effects used CGI such as the knives that got stuck into Sing's arms and body, they were all CGI, most of the guns were CG, and even a number of the times when the landlord lady (Wah Yuen) was talking the cigarette in her mouth was CGI, and that would become apparent before she would do the "Lions Roar".
And amazingly fun movie. Well worth the watch!
