Kung Fu Hustle. The Most Outrageous Sequences in Action Cinema

A handprint on Hollywood Blvd in Los Angeles is not enough for some people. Some people need a basketball court-sized handprint which squashes some bad guy into the ground. Kung Fu Hustle, where such an unforgettable fatality was depicted, additionally serves a very moving moral. No matter what you’re trying to learn, you will reach the divine level of power if you study long enough.

What is Kung Fu Hustle?

This is a kung-fu comedy about Singu, a young thief, who gets involved in mafia affairs that can only be resolved in one way – with the help of kung-fu, which hated since childhood. The film is obviously a caricature from the very beginning, but in the last action scene, it leaps from Jackie Chan to Dragon-Ball. It actually does it better than the infamous Evolution, at least.

Is it worth watching the whole movie?

Probably yes. It's a nice martial arts comedy with some funny dialogues and a few good ideas. The protagonist's transformation is taken straight from another film, but it's the only major problem of this quite production.

What about sales and money?

With a budget of twenty million dollars, the film earned a more than $100 mil. in the box office, so we can certainly call it a hit. However, at the same time, we must add that its popularity was strongly confined to Asia.
