I rarely write reviews but I decided that this is a classic that anybody who watches Chinese or Hong Kong works must have in their collection. I remember watching this movie when it first came out and since then I've lost count of how many times I've watched it although it has been a couple of years since my last viewing. I stumbled upon it on Netflix the other day and boy, the magic of this movie is that every time you rewatch, you pick up something new.
It's the perfect blend of action and comedy and it beautifully directed and honestly, it's just a masterpiece.
The movie itself is an absolutely ridiculous concept that makes it amazingly hilarious. Kung Fu Hustle feels like an adventurous dream the whole way through (if you can manage not to laugh yourself awake). Despite being completely outrageous the whole story makes sense and flows smoothly. The only reason I deducted a half mark on the story was that there were just some characters that I wanted to know more about.
This is the type of movie that makes you want to binge watch anything else with Stephen Chow and what more can I say then, please, give it a shot.
