  • Kung Fu Hustle knows exactly what it is - a silly, action packed, roller-coaster of joy, and it capitalizes off of that with each second of its run time. With a mixture of slapstick, dark and smart comedy, Kung Fu hustle can make just about anyone laugh; Fortunately for us viewers, it doesn't just have hilarious dialogue and CG, it also has memorable characters and well choreographed fight sequences. Stephen Chow provides non-stop comedy and action in this film, and although the purposefully elastic visual effects can be jarring at some moments, it's simply too hilarious to be taken seriously. Kung-Fu Hustle is one of my favorite comedies, and one of the most enjoyable film experiences one can have. Definitely make time to grab a bowl of popcorn and see this movie
