Kung Fu Hustle

[bottleneck]

Saw this one on the weekend.

absolutely excellent! In fact I want to see it again!

To really like it you've got to love martial arts movies... and even more, you've got to like the really old and cheesy ones with lots of mad wire-work and impossible moves and very silly-looking bad guys, and almost no plot whatsoever!!

I was worried the film would be a bit like 'Aeroplane' or something like that. But its nothing like it. It doesnt take itself seriously and injects loads of humour, but its not a spoof.

I guess I would say the film is 40% crouching tiger, 50% enter the dragon, 5% jackie chan and 5% benny hill.

In short if you want to see a really good martial arts movie which will also make you laugh, go see it.

Its a very funny film made up from scenes of famous old kung-fu flicks and new people acting over them to make a completely new film. Its pretty slapstick, but its also got a lot of nice touches. A must see fi you like kung-fu films. If you can't find a copy, cos I don't think it is in the video shops, then I could post it too you on a CD.
