I hadn't seen this since it was released a decade ago, but it strikes me that in all that time since Marvel has released like 30 superhero movies and not a one of them is half as entertaining, imaginative and profound as this. And it runs only 99 minutes. Things I…

As a kid, I used to watch this with my dad all the time! I def have fond memories tied to this movie. But regardless, it’s action-packed, comedic, a bit spooky here and there, and will make you cry. Quite good.

Rewatched Kung Fu Hustle the other day, and man, it still holds up! That movie is pure chaotic energy and I love it. The landlord with the curlers in her hair 😂. Comedy gold! Makes me miss the days when movies weren't afraid to be this silly. #KungFuHustle
Grady Jarvis likedKung Fu Hustlea lot of the jokes get lost in translation but the sheer amount of jokes makes up for it. the humor was not for me at times but the jokes that worked worked. that plus insanely creative and fun to watch action make for a solid experience
Shm0b likedKung Fu Hustlelol it's actually pretty good, I started watching this in class because I thought it was gonna be a cheap cliche movie with cool fighting scenes, and it turned out to be exactly that except exceeding my expectations alot, pretty good
- Victoria lovedKung Fu Hustle
maybe i’m just blinded by nostalgia but this is genuinely peak. the whole movie is kinda goofy (and even when it’s not goofy, the way that some effects aged are a bit goofy) but the ending always makes me tear up without fail
Revy lovedKung Fu HustleThis movie is already great on its own, but the spanish (castilian) dub gives it a unique touch of humor. Even though it has some scenes I don't like, I love the comedy, action and music. My favorite movie ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chow's savagely funny cinematic love letter places Hong Kong legends Yuen Wah, Leung Siu Lung and former Bond girl Yuen Qiu in well-cast pivotal parts, establishing Kung Fu Hustle not only as an endearing homage to a genre's history, but an astonishing piece of cinema in its own right.

Kung Fu Hustle is something you rarely encounter in theaters: a genuinely original comedy.

Half-amazing, half-ridiculous, thoroughly exhilarating.
