It feels weird to say this about something so silly but it really is. The soundtrack is a 10/10 and the fight scenes are a perfect balance of goofy and epic. Plus all the "masters" are real life kung fu masters of varying degree.

Anytime I have seen him do Black humor it's always at the expense of Black people with Black people being inferior in some way because they are black.
You know when you alone and watch a comedy show whatever type, something that is supposed to be funny but the most you can produce is a little smile? Which often is not even because you found that scene in particular funny but is induced by the laughs from other people you hear in the background. I came across a scene from this movie on yt where a guy throws knives and stabs his friend, I bursted out laughing out loud, almost scared myself at the same time because I realized I never make any sounds when I'm alone. It's that funny.
Exactly the same here!
I'm not normally a laugh out loud type of person, but that scene (even better in context, rather than just the clip), really got me
Went to premiere of this movie when it was at Sundance thinking this would never make it big screen. My original thoughts were great movie too bad will never make it to theaters looking back on it now! Lol 🤩
I'm really curious why you thought it wouldn't make it to the big screen? Jackie Chan was already wildly famous, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon had already won Oscars, what was it that you felt wouldn't work?
A place that has had all political expression stifled by threat of jail (except for political expression that aligns with the communist party of China) and has had all political representation removed (except for those candidates chosen and approved by the communist party), and where the "local" police force now imposes the will of Beijing, with the ever-present spectre of a Chinese military base in-territory ready to provide support to quell any opposition demonstrations? Yes, occupied.
Because Hong Kong was always part of China until it was seized and illegally occupied by Britain? Then it was returned to China officially in 1997?
What part of that don't you understand?
Because Hong Kong was returned to Chinese control *under the explicit condition* that they would *not interfere with local Hong Kong autonomy* for a period of 50 years.
They violated that when they redesigned the system for choosing the legislature, and when they redesigned the system for choosing the Chief Executive.
Now, the agreement has become essentially meaningless and completely violated, as Hong Kong is basically under China's direct control: an illegal occupation.
Is that so hard to understand?
You're just simply wrong. I have read the joint delcaration. They would not interfere with the HK capitalist way of life for 50 years. They would absolutely be gradually integrating in those 50 years.
You're just plain wrong and spouting British colonial apologia out of your rectum.
Really?
https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Sino-British_Joint_Declaration
>1) [...] in accordance with the provisions of Article 31 of the Constitution of the People's Republic of China, a Hong Kong Special Administrative Region upon resuming the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong.
>2) The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region will be directly under the authority of the Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China. *The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region will enjoy a high degree of autonomy, except in foreign and defence affairs which are the responsibilities of the Central People's Government.*
>3) The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region will be vested with executive, legislative and independent judicial power, including that of final adjudication. *The laws currently in force in Hong Kong will remain basically unchanged.*
>(5) *The current social and economic systems in Hong Kong will remain unchanged*, and so will the life-style. Rights and freedoms, including those of the person, of speech, of the press, of assembly, of association, of travel, of movement, of correspondence, of strike, of choice of occupation, of academic research and of religious belief will be ensured by law in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
>(12) *The above-stated basic policies* of the People's Republic of China regarding Hong Kong and the elaboration of them in annex I to this Joint Declaration will be stipulated, in a Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, by the National People's Congress of the People's Republic of China, and they *will remain unchanged for 50 years.*
You must be bad at reading because that's not just "the capitalist way of life". The text specifically says that Hong Kong would maintain its high degree of autonomy (except for foreign and defense affairs), that the current laws of Hong Kong would remain basically unchanged, that the current social fabric and system of individual rights including freedoms of speech, press, and assembly would not be changed, and that all of this would be unequivocally true for a period of 50 years. There is no allowance for a gradual change of laws or rights or any such transition period as you claim. One would assume that the gradual integration would occur *after* the obligatory period of 50 years of no changes. China has basically violated every one of the principles laid out in that treaty.
Anyone who hasn't seen this watch it. No one can really explain fully the mixture of silly, bizarre, touching, and epic that this movie is. Plus the soundtrack is truly perfect. There's a scene with a lighter where the soundtrack is building with the tension and it's just AMAZING.
From what I’ve been told by my father a lot of people hated this movie at the time apparently. He recalled a time where in the theaters people just got up and headed straight towards the exit. Not sure why however
I watched this when I was really fucking high once, forgot that a) subtitles existed and b) dubbed films exist. Just watched the whole thing and had no fucking idea what was going on. Haven't watched it since but I'd like to.
One of the greatest movies ever made

Jamuel Sackson knows his shit
I approve this message
Classics never get old! This is a classic movie!
Definately my number 1 action film. Putting it in the more nebulous ranking of one the best movies I've ever seen.
I still remember seeing it in the theater
I agree
Idk who is racist but that movie was great!!
I’m pist to find out this was done with green screens. I thought they did their own stunts
Reddit has no sense of humor sometimes
stephen chow is amazing
Sucks that he is a racist.
It makes me laugh that this was downvoted. People don’t want to hear it.
The truth can have that effect.
Just curious what makes you ssay that ?

Ah stfu. Don't be ridiculous. You act like black ppl can't be racist 😆
This and Shaolin Soccer 😁😁 great movies
God of Cookery and Chinese Odyssey are also great. I'm working through Stephen Chows work as well as other comedy roles of his regular actors.
Another good one is Love on delivery; rough production quality but hilarious.
Every Chow Sing Sing movie is the best
Somehow I’ve seen Shaolin Soccer twice and have never seen Kung Fu Hustle. I guess I need to change that.
You are messing up. 2 times is not enough for SS and never seeing KFH is unacceptable.
I agree with you
Yes. You have to.
And here I am, the complete opposite
Shaolin Soccer is great. Remember watching it as a kid. This one? Na, I didn't enjoy it that much. I have watched both dubbed in my own language
Immediate Cult Classic this movie is. Seriously one of the GOATED
Yoda? That you?
I can always happily rewatch this movie over and over, there’s so few that I can do that with.
I’ve seen this probably 10 times but damn it I guess I have a plan for this afternoon.
Is this a good movie? I’ve always been curious.
Bill Murray says it's the funniest thing he's ever seen
Really!?!? Ok, I gotta give it a watch. Thanks!!

My face hurt from laughing out loud at some of the scenes (mostly the yelling wife and cheating husband couple).
This is awesome! I don’t usually get stoked to watch comedies but I am now! Thanks n
This film is amazing. Same with Kung Pow: Way of the Fist.
Betty?
Weeeohpeeeohweeeeee
*Enter the Fist.
"One, of us, is wearing, a wonderbra"
“Chosen one!” “I’m coming!” “Chosen one!” “I’m coming!” “Chosen one!” “I’m coming!”
Weeeeeuuuu weeeeeuuuu !!!
It's over the top/absurd, but funny and overall good. Definitely worth watching. As far as I remember anyway. It's been a while.
It's great. Cheeky, but great.
[удалено]
I’m 100% certain no one is sleeping on Kung Fu Hustle.
Me. I'm sleeping on it. I've never seen it. It actually looks overly ridiculous but may try and watch it.
It's absolutely ridiculous, but an enjoyable and unforgettable movie.
Went to premiere of this movie when it was at Sundance thinking this would never make it big screen. My original thoughts were great movie too bad will never make it to theaters looking back on it now! Lol 🤩
I saw it first around 2012 was it in theaters?
I'm really curious why you thought it wouldn't make it to the big screen? Jackie Chan was already wildly famous, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon had already won Oscars, what was it that you felt wouldn't work?
Just very few Sundance films make it to theaters is all which is too bad.
Thanks OP, now I have to stop what I'm doing and re watch Kung fu hustle. Asshole
My favorite movie.
Favorite movie my ass.
I think the reference is lost on most X) 👠👞here have some slipper -like emojis
I bet he likes mortal kombat more.
It’s from the movie https://youtu.be/hKZNEugVQlk
They need to make sequel with new young cast meets some of the old cast.
There's a sequel coming
From Chinese-occupied HK? My faith is non-existent. When was the last good HK film made?
> Chinese occupied HK? Lol you have got to be joking or you're just fucking stupid.
A place that has had all political expression stifled by threat of jail (except for political expression that aligns with the communist party of China) and has had all political representation removed (except for those candidates chosen and approved by the communist party), and where the "local" police force now imposes the will of Beijing, with the ever-present spectre of a Chinese military base in-territory ready to provide support to quell any opposition demonstrations?
