1:10 - 1994? 😁 Oh Matthew...
LOL! Yeah, that's my bad. We watch multiple movies in a sitting, and sometimes my dumb brain runs all the dates together 🥴
-Cheers,
Matthew
I was gonna say wasn’t this in the 2000s?
It’s actually a 2004 movie
@@JustSUMMReactions please react to dumb and dumber when you get a chance because I promise that you guy's won't regret it.
@@JustSUMMReactions please react to shaolin soccer it's a must if you watched kung fu hustle
The epic-fail of a knife throwing assassination attempt never ceases to make me laugh.
I swear to god. It funny as hell lol
I used to watch this at least three times a day during college (back in 2004-05) and I still laugh at that scene especially. The whole movie is just laugh out loud funny.
From the knife throwing through landlady chasing him is my favorite part of almost any movie ever.
Roll to hit
*1*
I throw again
*1*
Are we still hidden? Yes.
I attack

That scene has the perfect comedic timing and tone.
Stephen Chow is a legend of HK cinema.
Unfortunately ~50% of his jokes are cantonese puns that are very hard to translate, so his early works aren't popular overseas.
It's a good thing he made Kung-Fu Hustle and Shaolin Soccer with international audiences in mind.
@CiviliNation 7 So as a kid growing up in Africa you say you understand most of the puns that are even badly translated? Loving the movies is one thing, comprehending the jokes across all movies is something else. Admirable if true O_O
I think it depends on what culture you were raised in, but to my knowledge, Stephen Chow's film does not rely heavily on Chinese culture references (I watched his films way too many times XD). Even when he does, it's pretty superficial so (hopefully) the audience can understand. I mean, some of his films are spoof/parody of some western movie, and was made with 'global audience mindset' in mind.
I'm an Indonesian (that's SE Asia); I don't speak Chinese, and I have very little knowledge of Chinese culture, but I haven't got any difficulties understanding his humor or jokes so far. I mean, sure, we probably missed 1 or 2 inside jokes but no, it wasn't 50%.
If the audience can't understand 50% of the movie it means the movie is a failure and Stephen Chow was failed as a director and actor :)
Kung-Fu Hustle and Shaolin Soccer are indeed my favorite HK movies....well, except all the Jackie Chan's movies :)
As an American I can say most of his movies have a fairly universal appeal. They depend a lot on physical humor, which is universally funny. His older stuff is considerably lower budget, which can be an obstacle to most Western audiences.
@@ididthisonpulpous6526 I am a HongKonger, his earlier works focus more on dialogue humor, I am just so glad that more and more TH-camrs are reacting to Kung Fu Hustle and Shaolin Soccer. His earlier works were even funnier, such as From Beijing with Love, Fight Back To School. But I am not sure if westerners would like them, some of the jokes are really hard to translate, for example, there was a part where a mad scientist is notorious for making useless invention, he made a "Solar Torch", a torch that turns on automatically if there is light (This is direct translation) This part was so funny in Cantonese but might not have the same effect if it's in English.
This film is a true classic. Not enough people are reacting to it, so thanks for being one of the first!
What about Shaolin Soccer (also from Stephen Chow) ?
@@peterhecker1343 Equally classic, I personally also recommend "The King of Comedy", a timeless treasure that is watched repeatedly every year.
Actually it's been pretty popular lately
Dude this is the 3rd reaction to this I’ve watched in the last two weeks and Ashleigh Burton is reacting to it soon
@@brianlogsdon4824
Yeah, can't wait!!
Glad it's getting some attention/appreciation, so outrageously funny!!
The pervert landlord, was Bruce Lees stunt double in most of his movies. In enter the dragon, all the scenes where Bruce Lee flips, it was infact the pervert landlord. Also, the scene in the car when the land lady balls heat fists and doeant speak, was also from a Bruce Lee movie.
Stephen Chow is known to be Bruce Lee fan. In Hustle, he wore Bruce Lee's famous garment, the white top with black pants. And we can see a lot of Jeet Kun Do (plus a bit of Wing Chun) in the fighting choreography.
ohhhh shiiiit really? that's cool!
@Necramonium Bruce leung was the real deal.. Came out retirement to be Stephen chows main bad guy.
As far as I remember, pretty much all of the older members of the cast are various legendary stuntmen (and women in the case of Yuen Qiu playing the landlady!) that Stephen Chow gathered together.
And Bruce Leung, who played The Beast, was in Bruceploitation films and, like the actress who played the landlady, had been retired for a long while before this film.
This film has been mentioned as being inspirational for Tarantino and others. Despite it being a crazy comedy, there is some amazing direction and cinematography, too!
Lol Quentin was more influenced by the Shaw brothers movies and lo lie especially.. Said he was the greatest actor to work in Hong Kong movies
@@mitchclement3773 I never said this was his ONLY influence. I've heard him on multiple podcasts mention this movie as one of many movies that he admires and loves.
@@TrashWerewolf Do you remember any of those podcasts off the top of your head? I'd love to hear Quentin talk about this movie.
@@Momon143 Stephen Chow gets high praise from Tarantino, whom called Chow “one of the funniest comedians in cinema” and “Hong Kong’s best actor.” This is from the article “10 Great Kung Fu Movies Recommended By Quentin Tarantino”
Ahhh yes, Kung Fu Hustle, where martial arts meets toon logic.
They dont make movie like this anymore
I love her reactions but his smile when he knows something good about to happen is priceless. And he gets a bigger kick out the movie when she catches on . Could watch you guys all day
The knowing smile to camera when Emily says, "she's fast!" is *chefs kiss*
Yeah they make me feel even worse for being alone. They are relationship goals.
This is great seeing more people watch Kung Fu Hustle
More people should be watching more Hong Kong cinema.. It's some of the greatest stuff ever.
The landlady had a martial arts role in a James Bond movie at age 24, The Man with the Golden Gun. She went with a friend who was applying for a role in KFH, and the director recognised her and persuaded her to apply. She gained 40 pounds to take the role.
All of the actors/actresses the husband/wife, 3 masters are well known veteran HK movie stars.
Wait... THAT WAS HER??? HOLY SHIT! I remember those two young (at the time) actresses. It was kind of a bizarre scene. They saved Bond. But then they and their dad (local Police dude) Failed to pick up Bond to get him out of there away from the Dojo...
O...kay then. There was no reason for that slip-up that I could see other than to provide an excuse for Bond to have another chase scene. LOL
@@logandarklighter She was 24 at the time of appearing in the Bond film. (not exactly the schoolgirl depicted)
My favorite is when he gives the extra "bonk" after already getting beat by the beast
That part still has me dying from laughing so hard. XD
So glad you did the subtitled version and not the dub. So much is lost with the voice overs.
The woman who played the landlady in this is Qiu Yuen, a veteran actress who trained in martial arts performance with Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung. She learned alongside them and it shows. Hell, one of her last film appearances before this was in James Bond - and she didn't audition for this movie. She was accompanying a younger actress to the auditions and Steven Chow saw her and spent *weeks* begging her to be in his film. Before movie she hadn't acted since 1985, and had recently become a grandmother, and is still one of the best dang things about Hustle.
The knife scene almost killed me. I couldn't breathe laughing so hard in the theater...
S. Chow wrote, directed, produced, and starred in this comedy masterpiece!
So happy people are starting to react to this movie. Literally waited years for that to happen. Bill Murray said at one time this was the funniest movie ever made
"Wheres the third knife?"
"God knows where it went."
XD!!!!!!
The musical assassins scene is one of my favourite scenes of all time.
I AM SO GLAD YOU WATCHED THIS ONE!!!!! You just made my crappy day better
Axe gang unite!
About to go to sleep, but i see FTFC has uploaded 'Kung Fu Hustle': Guess I'm not going to bed for 40min.
19:45 - wow this is the only subtitled version I've ever seen translate that section correctly, normally the joke is ignored in the official subtitles!
The joke is that the dying Donut speaks his last breath and says "What are you prepared to do?!" In full english instead of cantonese, and then the landlord basically responds, "You are speaking english, why don't you speak chinese?" It's actually a recurring joke in the film with the Landlord character but the subtitles in every version I've ever watched seem to ignore it
An instant classic and Bill Murphy's seal of approval of being the funniest movie he has ever seen!
Now you should also watch SHAOLIN SOCCER
Shaolin Soccer is must after watching this. My day is complete after watching this video.
The fights are choreographed by Yuen Woo-ping, whose work includes The Matrix trilogy, Kill Bill 1&2, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Fist of Legend, etc...
The landlord is what a definition of Strong Woman is, and Hollywood never really got it right especially thesedays
The best bit to me is when he is cruelly laughing at the girl with his mouth full of ice cream.
Another brilliant "revenge of the retired badass" action movie...
When people talk about _John Wick, The Equalizer, Taken_ etc they often forget this movie and the Chinaman.
I'm delighted that you guys finally got around to this one. Personally, I don't necessarily have to be in a mood, because this film puts me into "a mood". It's a very positive mood. I tend to like the subbed version a bit better, though the dubs are pretty good. The voices were well chosen - for a change. The dubbed one, in some cases, seems a little too "Americanized". In other words, some parts seem too abridged, because slang is occasionally inserted, which changes the meaning, sometimes. I really like the chase scene, which follows up the knife scene, and you can see the landlady approaching in the rear blade mirror.
Like everyone else, I recommend "Shaolin Soccer". I also recommend "All for the Winner", for one of his earlier films. It's an experience of its own. When you are done with Stephen Chow, (I will never be) I recommend Jackie Chan. There is a huge wealth of those films. The problem with poll films, is that you often end up watching the good ones first, then the less good ones end up falling slightly short. Hopefully this won't happen with Shaolin Soccer.
I recommend starting with "Drunken Master", in the version of your choice. It is one of Jackie Chan's earliest amusement movies. Some of his earlier stuff is a bit more serious classical Kung Fu stuff. I do recommend the early stuff too, but keep in mind it's a tad less refined than the later stuff. Keep going with Stephen Chow. One thing you'll probably notice is that he often goes by "Sing", in whatever he does. You might also like "The Magnificent Scoundrels". Chow likes to do parody stuff, but that one is its own concept.
Only in the subbed version do I catch the Untouchables reference lol. "What are you...prepared to do?!"🤣
Everytime we get to that scene, my brother's Will choked from his sudden turn of cry to laugh 🤣🤣
The knife throwing scene always has me doubled over laughing!!
I play in Pinball tournaments and the scene with the pinball sound effects is my absolute favorite!!
i just love how the bad guy gets hopelessly outclasses and he just like, You wanna learn?
Absolutely one of my favorite films, its just fun.. and while it has the underling story, it does not take itself too seriously. just a fun, fun movie.
Emily's reactions are completely correct for the whole move, From giggles to the WTF moments.
Just wanted to mention that watching films with people who haven't seen them is my most favorite thing. Because I can't do that right now, I really appreciate being able to live vicariously through you two. Thanks a bunch. 🙂
Omg ive been waiting for this. All reactors need to watch this masterpiece and appreciate the genius that is Steven chow
TRIED THE BUDDHIST PALM ON THE OLE LADY LAST NIGHT. I SLEPT ON THE COUCH.
🤣🤣🤣
Did she gave you the Lion's Roar?
@@nitrokid nice
They should definitely add "Kung Pow! Enter the Fist" to the movie list ... would definitely line up with they "HE HE TIDDIES" theme (all those who have seen the movie know what I'm taking about).
This brings back a lot of good memories with this film. Stephen Chow who starred, wrote, and directed the movie drew inspiration from a lot of movies, cartoons, and childhood imaginations for this movie. Glad you guys enjoyed it.
“Why did you hit me?”
*hits him on the head again*
😱😱😱😂😂😂😂🤣🔥🔥🔥
The "taken down by a flight of stairs" joke....Emily, I can't believe you'd stoop so low.
12:56 no matter how many i've seen this movie, it always cracks me up LMFAO.... i can rewatch this movie on a loop in a day without being bored of it!
I love Yuen Wah in this film, he normally plays straight laced characters or villains so it was great to see him do some comedy.
7:16
This is the kind of people who didn't realise Clark Kent is Superman. XD
Yall need to add Wrongfully Accused to the watch list, another Leslie Nielsen classic. Great reaction as always guys.
They also missed the third Naked Gun (most people do XD)
Dracula: Dead & Loving It should also be on there.
I remember Spy Hard, as well. And Mr. Magoo, but this one was more like family movie. Still damn funny, though.
I used to have the VHS and at the time I didn’t know English but I would still laugh
Definitely
I'm glad you watched the subtitled version. The dialogue in that version is so much better than the dubbed one.
I have to watch again to see the movie scenes, I was so focused on Emily's reactions and laughing. Her facial expressions are priceless.
One of my favorites! You have to see Shaolin Soccer! Another over the top, hilarious, but fun movie. Same main character from this movie
Yeah, that is Stephen Chow, he writes, directs and stars in all of his movies. He's a comedy genius.
And the untouchables reference"what are you prepared to do "😂🤣
Speaking about getting high i saw this movie when i was 19 in a coffeeshop. My cheeks hurt before the movie was even over. Greetings from Amsterdam.
If you looking to watch kung fu style films, I’d recommend “Once Upon A Time In China” series, with Jet Li. Awesome martial arts choreography! That shadow-less leg kick!
YES! You should also consider Iron Monkey (1993) by Yuen Woo-ping.
Emily needs a shirt with dolphins on it. Then she can make puns on porpoise.
The landlady and the landlord XD
#relationshipgoal
the tailor and the landlord couple are my favorite lol
Stephen Chow is the king of 🇭🇰 comedy back in the day. Later on in his career he started practicing martial arts and directing movies. Definitely need to watch shaolin soccer next. Definitely comedy gold!
The Axe gang driving away literally crying cause they were so scared was freaking hilarious!!
Fun fact - the high-kick the Beast delivered to split the wall into the casino had just a *little* CGI added to make it purely vertical - the actor himself managed to get it almost there by himself.
I read it somewhere that the vertical split was Leung's signature move back in the 70s and 80s. By the 2000s he'd retired from acting. So they had the split done in CGI.
I forgot how much fun this film was and your reactions to so many films are great, earned up a sub from me.
18:46
If you don't know, that's a Bruce Lee reference. He did that in one of his movies and this was remembered as one of the most badass threat you can give in a Kung Fu movie lol
I think the most common description of this movie is "70's kung fu movie mixed with Tex Avery cartoon".
Fun Fact: The tabletop RPG "Exalted" lists this movie as one of its inspirational materials, calling it "one of the best examples of Exalted-level martial arts in cinema".
That landlady is one of my favorite movie characters of all time.
This and Shaolin soccer was basically our childhood.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love how she kissed her husband with the cigarette still sticking out of her mouth.
Recomended 1.Flirting scholar ,2.God of cookery ,3.King of beggars ,4. Justice my foot, Royal Tramp 1 n 2 all Stephen Chow comedy movies
I tried Congee after seeing this film and it is delish. :)
Also if I remember right, Stephen Chow grew up in Hong Kong watching Looney Tunes cartoons. Soooooo......
SHAOLIN SOCCER!!!!!!
This is nowhere near 7. It got everything. Action, funny, and a lot of heart.
I'd even side eyed people who gave it an 8 point.
Perfect 10
Yeh this 2nd react I seen that says "i love this movie" and then gives it a 7. There is no movie like this and it has so many influences and callbacks its also chow'' magnus opus.. It at least a 9.
23:11 the reason why the landlord has to cartwheeling his wife is that she will get injured if
she goes against the turn that hit from the villain,
instead of that she has to go along with the turn to prevent getting hurt
just like when people fall from a skateboard they will roll with it 👍
this movie is amazing because even tough it is a comedy movie, it have a real slid story with a realy beautiful mesage... and a realy touching storyline with a wonderful ending... they manage to make a comedy movie, that is still super deep in many regards.
People say that people who understand his films can't laugh. The bitterness shown in the film is very real. What he has experienced is presented in a funny way
You guys should definitely check out Kung Pow: Enter the Fist
Pretty sure you'll love it 😆
You should, if you haven't, watch Shaolin Soccer, I laughed alot more with that one, don't get me wrong I love kung fu hustle.
A shame, I've still neer been ale to see that one.
@Just SUMM Reactions
Matthew is Kung Pow: Enter the Fist on your list? Perfect movie to watch after this one. Even more ridiculously funny
The landlady is the “senior” of Sammo Hung,Jackie Chan & the landlord Yue Hwa is a underrated martial art actor...(also did some some somersault stunts for Bruce Lee).
The landlady used to be a stuntwoman and also acted in one of Roger Moore’s James Bond movie.She retired but Stephen Chow the director(Buddha Palm ✋) tried many times to get her to act for this role.
I was hopin' you would watch the subbed version, and you did, which meant I had to go to your patreon to subscribe and watch the full lenght reaction, because I just love this movie to death, and watching others experience it for the first time, it kind of lets me experience it for the first time again, vicariously. Really like your reactions, You have become my fav reaction channel, alongside BrandonLikesMovies and JamesVsCinema, you're all great people.
Thanks, really glad you like them! Brandon and James are two of my favorites, so to be mentioned alongside them is a huge compliment!
-Cheers,
Matthew
Ok, fun facts: he's been around since the late 80's, and he's consistently doing this style of action-comedy. Whether you watch his new stuff - like Shaolin Soccer, or this Kung Fu Hustle - or his old stuff, you'll get tons of good laughs. Enjoy the journey!
This movie is Brilliant (My 3rd Favorite Movie of All-Time). But if you watch it a second time, there are all sorts of "Tells" and hidden reveals at the start of the movie. The Opening Credits has a Butterfly which symbolizes the main character's Metamorphosis. The first time you see the Coolie, he "Kicks" a bag of rice onto his shoulders. Donut's poles are featured prominently in his Congee Shop. The Tailor's Rings hang in his Dress Shop. The first reveal of the Landlord, he drinks "Fluid" revealing his fluid fighting style. The Landlady's first appearance, she's "Screaming", and last when the Beast is revealed, he's surrounded by Frogs... This movie is so brilliantly set up
So I know you guys have watched the first 2 naked gun movies, so why not finish it with "The Naked Gun 33 1/3" and then maybe check out the police squad series? They're too good to miss out on
"Yo! That bitch go fasssssssst." "Hm-hmmm"
I fucking love this movie so much.
Hard to believe this movie is nearly 20 years old but still holds up to this day in comedy and fighting.
Is it wrong that I watch this channel because she looks and laughs like my mom? I just miss her. That aside, great reaction.
i like the music in the background, thank you for having the information in the description
I like that sad music when the first knife bounces back into Sing's shoulder.
Yes....Yes!.....YESSSSSS!!!! My all time favorite movie, both in action and comedy!
So. Freaking. GOOD!
Like with a lot of things its helpful, but not necessary to have watched some previous works to get the full gist of who and what this Stephen Chow is all about. Highlights are _The God of Cookery_ (1996) and _Shaolin Soccer_ (2001) He's not spoofing Hong Kong cinema so much as deconstructing it while maintaining reverence ans, of course, being funny.
@Just SUMM Reactions I also spent Saturdays same. . Black Belt Theater on channel 44 out of Tampa, FL
You should REALLY watch From Beijing with love from the same actor/director, i think it's great.
You HAVE to watch Kung Fury! It's a fan made movie with a very similar vibe.
A similar vibe, but with a waaaaay cooler origin scenario!
Plus, it's a short film, and not copyrighted so they can post watching the whole thing!
Did you know...
The main character of the shaolin soccer and kung fu hustle main character is the director at the same time....
He is really gifted🎥🤩
Now suddenly everybody watching kung fu hustle 🤣🤣
I suddenly felt twice my age when Matthew accidentally said "1994" and legitimately second-guessed whether or not it had actually been that long lmao
This is the most anime live-action movie i have witnessed yet.
The japan anima was inspired by kung fu movie. That's why you see a lot anima with same fighting style.
By the way, the man who play the fairy is a real kung fu master in real life.
You guys definitely need to do Jackie Chan's "The legend of the Drunken master"! Love y'alls reactions! Keep it coming!
You guys need to watch Cool Hand Luke. It's an underrated classic. Most realistic movie I ever seen
7:09-7:20 that way of thinking has gotten a lot of innocent young men in trouble haha. PLEASE don't judge off just appearance. Yes it matters, but it isn't the only thing you should look for
Around the 21 minute mark: You missed the opportunity for a Hot Shots reference "Who put that crab there?!"
Kung Fu Hustle is one of my favorite movies ever. The knife scene is my favorite bit ever. I never knew Landlords had that type of speed. Lol
This is going to be FUN! 😁
This is essentially Bugs Bunny meets Bruce Lee. And I'm here for it. All of it.
The land lady, the landlord, Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung, they had the same master. The tailor with rings on his arms is a kungfu master and acted in many older Hong Kong movies and has deciples around the world. Same with the bad guy, the toad man
I am so lucky I found you guys, it is Super difficult to find REAL AND ENTERTAINING youtube reactions but you guys are as great as there is I LOVE THE CONCEPT OF YOUR CHANNEL, like the way you lady watch the movies that your husband knows about and sets them up for you. Keep up the great content, you're a bit too loud but it is just that your reactions are legit.
Forget Citizen Kane, forget A Matter of Life & Death, forget Howerd the Duck, this is the greatest film ever made. Once again I loved your reaction guys, you are definitely the Abbott & Costello of reactors. Love & best wishes from your fan in the UK. 🥰
One of my favorite things about the panorama is watching people bide the time by discovering movies I love.
Since you mention "The One", you'll have to check out the movie of the same name. One of my favorite Jet Li movies.
Then I wish I could track down the music video with Historypeats that used to be on AJ's Music Videos for you.
